Honor 400 in for review
Honor's new 400 series is now out, and we took our first look at the Honor 400 Pro, now it's time to check out the Honor 400.
Depending on the phone style you like, this could be the phone you prefer. Whereas the Pro is curvy all around, the Honor 400 has flat glass panels on both ends and a wide, flat frame.

Like the Pro, the Honor 400 ships with nothing more than a SIM eject tool and a cable. This phone has 80W charging, if you buy the right charger.
The Honor 400 is smaller (156.5mm vs 160.8mm) and lighter (184g vs 205g) than its counterpart. Upfront, it has a 6.55-inch 120Hz AMOLED display (compared to 6.7-inch on the Pro). It's a top panel in every aspect, with HDR and a bonkers 5,000 nits of peak brightness.
The Honor 400
Another difference to the Pro is the camera system on the back - the Honor 400 lacks a telephoto unit. You do get the same two other cameras - the 200MP main camera (1/1.4" sensor, f/1.9 lens with OIS), and the 12MP ultrawide shooter (f/2.2 112°).
Despite the move to a less potent Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, the Honor 400 offers Photo to Video, driven by Google's Veo 2art video generation model, running on Google Cloud's Vertex AI. It creates a 5-second video (no sound) from any photo you give it. The generating process takes about a minute.
Here's a demo of Photo to Video, it really is impressive. Honor 400 5G

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge teardown video reveals all
Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge came out last month after much anticipation, and today it's been torn down on video by Zack at JerryRigEverything. The phone is easily opened through the back after applying some heat to the adhesive and then using a suction cup. Inside there are a lot of screws as you may expect. The vibration motor is super thin, but interestingly the waterproofing membrane over the speaker is tilted at an angle because of the phone's thinness. Battery removal is very easy, perhaps the easiest system on the market, which debuted on the other S25 devices. Obviously, the battery is where a lot of the thickness was cut in order to achieve the phone's 5.8mm profile. The company also removed "slivers of frame" wherever it could, Zack says, with the SoC directly in contact with the vapor chamber in the S25 Edge vs. the S25 Ultra. The middle layer of the baseboard is much thinner on the Edge too. Finally, the titanium frame actually uses an aluminum inner frame. Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge

Google Messages is getting a slight modern makeover
Google Messages has started receiving a Material 3 Expressive makeover. Material 3 Expressive is Google's new colorful, customizable, and bold design language. The interface is a part of Android 16, which is in beta right now, but some apps such as Gmail and Photos, and now Google Messages, have already had their first taste of the redesign. According to 9to5Google , only the Google Messages chat interface has received the Material 3 Expressive treatment for now. As is often the case with changes like these, you may not spot them right away, especially if you give the app a cursory glance only, but look closely, and sure enough, some elements of Google Messages have been updated per Material 3 Expressive.

The menu has the same background as the Google Messages bar with a lower density than before and the icons are no longer colorful. When you tap on the emoji menu, you will be shown a connected button group to switch between Emoji, GIFs, Stickers, and Photomoji. It has also been placed in a rounded container and the tab you select becomes a pill. The search bar has been moved below the button group, so you won't be confused between the message field and the search field. Google Messages users, particularly those with Samsung phones, on the beta version 20250528_00_RC00 should expect to see these changes any time now. The Material 3 Expressive redesign for Android 16 was announced last month during Google I/O's Android Show. It will make the interface emotionally impactful interface, or so Google hopes, and make everything engaging and easier to use.
