HONOR, known for consistently pushing the boundaries of innovation, is back to make waves once again, and this time with a launch that's set to disrupt expectations across the board. The upcoming HONOR 400 Series is a bold new chapter in mobile technology that defies compromise. This isn't just a step forward; it's a giant leap that redefines what it means to be a flagship smartphone in 2025. Consumers have always had to choose between high-end performance and a reasonable price tag. The HONOR 400 Series ends that trade-off by intelligently combining top-tier features, cutting-edge AI, powerful hardware, and a sleek premium design into a package that's surprisingly affordable. A flagship 200MP AI camera experience, reimagined Let's begin with the camera, because that's where the magic begins for most users. The all-new series comes with 200MP, which is the best camera in its price range, allowing you to capture clear photos near and far. The HONOR 400 Pro version delivers exceptional zoom capabilities with AI Super Zoom, offering 15x to 50x zoom while maintaining sharpness and clarity even at great distances. The AI Portrait Snap feature uses advanced AI to keep portraits sharp and clear, even when the subject is moving AI Creative Editor to spark daily wonders It's not just about megapixels—it's about what you can create when they're combined with HONOR's AI Creative Editor suite to enhance photos with precision and creativity in daily life. This suite is packed with the largest set of AI editing features in its range, with an impressive AI tool. Want to turn a breathtaking still image into a stunning video highlight? The industry-leading AI Image to Video feature can do that in seconds. Need to clean up your shot from unwanted people wandering into the background? AI Erase passers-by removes background people seamlessly, leaving you with a clear scene. And with AI Upscale, even low-resolution or distant shots become clear and vibrant. These tools are designed not just for creators, but for everyday users who want to make memories look unforgettable, all without professional gear or editing skills. All-day power, lightning speed With a massive 6000mAh battery, the HONOR 400 Series is built not just for a full day and beyond. Paired with blazing-fast 100W HONOR SuperCharge on the HONOR 400 Pro and 80W on the HONOR 400, it delivers ultra-quick charging that makes long power breaks a thing of the past. Combining the biggest battery and fastest charging in its price range, the HONOR 400 Series redefines what power and efficiency mean for everyday users. This combination is a game-changer for professionals and multitaskers. On days when users forget to charge overnight, a short top-up in the morning provides enough power to last well into the evening. Behind the scenes, the flagship-level Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 on HONOR 400 Pro ensures fluid performance across all applications, ensuring that even the most challenging apps run smoothly and without interference. AI productivity that works for you Productivity is key when on the go, and the HONOR 400 Series makes working smarter easier than ever.

The latest MagicOS introduces features like AI Subtitles for real-time subtitling during video playback, AI Minutes for automatically transcribing meetings into actionable notes, and AI Summary to distill long texts or documents into digestible insights. Even casual users will find value in AI Translation, which turns foreign-language media or conversations into accessible content in real time. During a video call with an overseas client, for instance, a user can rely on AI Subtitles to understand the conversation live, while AI Minutes captures the entire dialogue and summarizes key takeaways before the meeting has even ended. It's the kind of efficiency that changes how you communicate, collaborate, and create, and most importantly, gives you back your valuable time. Its worth noting the only HONOR 400 Series offers the AI Subtitles feature, supporting real-time translation between Arabic and English across mainstream media apps. A display that shines under any light One of the standout features of the HONOR 400 Series is its 5000nits Ultra Bright Display, which ensures visibility in even the harshest lighting conditions. This is one of the brightest displays ever seen in its category, making it ideal for users who are constantly on the go. Take, for example, a sunny afternoon at an outdoor café. While most people struggle to read messages or scroll through photos on dim screens, the HONOR 400 Series display remains perfectly visible. It doesn't matter whether you're streaming your favorite show or reading an eBook by the pool; your content always looks vivid, sharp, and crystal-clear. Built tough for everyday chaos Durability is something that's often overlooked with a smartphone, but it's rapidly becoming a headline feature. The HONOR 400 Series raises the bar with IP68 and IP69 ratings on the HONOR 400 Pro version for water and dust resistance. For adventure seekers caught in unpredictable weather while hiking, the HONOR 400 Series is more than capable of continuing to navigate routes even in bad weather, while others scramble to keep their smartphones dry. The rugged build is seamlessly integrated into the phone's premium design, offering protection without sacrificing aesthetics. A flagship look that feels exclusive Of course, power and performance are nothing without design, and here, too, the HONOR 400 Series delivers. With its refined curves, smooth textures, and distinctive finishes, the phone exudes the fashion-forward look and feel of a device that belongs in the premium segment of the market. It's the kind of design that turns heads. Whether it's placed on a meeting room table or pulled out at a dinner, the HONOR 400 doesn't just blend in; it makes a statement. One that says premium, refined, and forward-thinking. More importantly, the design has been carefully crafted for both visual appeal and practical comfort. It feels great in the hand, resists fingerprints and scratches, and reflects HONOR's meticulous attention to detail – available in four mesmerizing colorways. With the HONOR 400 Series, a new standard has been set. This is not just a phone; it's a platform for creativity, productivity, and self-expression. It takes features previously reserved for top-tier flagships and delivers them in a package that is accessible to more people than ever before. It's a phone built for creators who want studio-quality tools in their pocket.

HONOR 400 Series Review: Smart, Capable, and Built for Everyday Use
The smartphone landscape is crowded with choices, but HONOR's latest 400 and 400 Pro models manage to stand apart by making smart use of AI in ways that actually matter. From exceptional photography capabilities, impressive AI editing tools to powerful hardware, the HONOR 400 Series positions itself as more than just mid-range release. It's a showcase of how practical innovation, thoughtful design, and performance can come together without pushing the price in flagship territory. Stunning 200MP AI Camera Experience: Photography is a major highlight on both devices, thanks to their shared 200MP Ultra-Clear AI Main Camera. The HONOR 400 Pro includes an additional 50MP telephoto lens, which becomes useful when zooming in on distant objects, such as getting the right crop on a landscape, or capturing an essential moment during a football match. I was genuinely impressed by the AI Portrait Snap. Even when kids were running around, it captured sharp, detailed portraits without any blur. I also tested the AI Super Zoom on the HONOR 400 Series, and it seriously blew me away. Being able to zoom up to 50x with the main camera and still get sharp, clear shots is a game-changer. I captured distant buildings, signs, even birds—and the detail held up impressively. It doesn't feel like digital zoom at all. For anyone who loves mobile photography, this feature takes things to the next level. AI Creative Editor: Everyday Magic The HONOR 400 Series doesn't just take great photos – it also makes them more versatile and usable. AI Image to Video honestly became one of my favorite features right away. I used it on this old family photo—we were just sitting around the dinner table, smiling, nothing fancy. But once I used the feature, it literally came to life. I could see us moving, laughing, like it was a short video. It felt so real, like stepping into the past for a second. What stood out also was the AI Erase Passers-by feature—it's amazing how it automatically removes moving people from my photos in one click, without the need to manually circle and remove one by one. I tried out the AI Upscale feature, and it really impressed me. It took some lower-res photos and made them look sharper and clearer without losing detail, while the AI Outpainting helped me extend a tight skyline photo to fit my wallpaper, blending perfectly with the original. Plus, AI Eyes open came to the rescue by fixing a blink in a group shot which is incredibly useful touch when retakes aren't an option. Design, Display and Durability: The HONOR 400 and HONOR 400 Pro both make a strong first impression with their sleek, refined builds and color options that range from the iconic gold, stunning silver, classic Black to the elegant Blue. The HONOR 400 weighs just 184g and measures 7.3mm thin, offering a featherlight, ultra-slim profile that feels natural in the hand. Both models are crafted with premium finishes and sharp lines, delivering a look and feel that rivals higher-end smartphones. The HONOR 400 Pro comes with IP68& IP69 rating for water and dust resistance, while the HONOR 400 is rated at IP66, making both well-equipped for real-world use. During testing, even using the phones with slightly wet hands, the devices felt smooth and responsive thanks to the Super Rainproof Touch tech. Both devices boast an impressive peak brightness of up to 5000 nits. Whether watching videos or playing games, the displays delivered an immersive experience with balanced colors. Even under direct sunlight, the screens remained clear and easy to see, making outdoor use effortless. Performance and Chipset: I've been using the HONOR 400 Pro with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and honestly, it handles games like a champ. I played Asphalt 9 and PUBG on the highest settings with HDR, and everything stayed super smooth, even after playing for a while. No lag, no overheating—it just kept up perfectly. MagicOS and Smart Features: Both phones run MagicOS 9.0 one of the more genuinely helpful features is AI Magic Portal 2.0. For example, while browsing social media, dragging a product image – such as a sneaker – to the sidebar intelligently pulls up relevant shopping apps, allowing for quick comparisons or searches without switching between screens. I had the chance to try out the new HONOR AI subtitles feature—and it surprised me. Watching foreign-language content became effortless, as the AI-generated subtitles automatically translated speech in real-time with impressive accuracy. I also tried HONOR Connect for transferring data, and it was surprisingly smooth. Moving photos and files from my iPhone to the HONOR device was quick and effortless, with no need for complicated apps or long steps. It felt like the two devices were speaking the same language. The AI Writing tools built into MagicOS are surprisingly versatile. Beyond basic grammar correction, they can generate full sentences or entire paragraphs based on short prompts, rephrase content for different tones, or clean up rough drafts. AI Translation is another genuinely useful app, especially when you are traveling around the world. It offers both face-to-face and side-by-side conversations. The translation works entirely on-device, which improves both speed and privacy. HONOR Connect impressed me with how easily it handled cross-platform transfers. I was able to move my data from an iPhone to an HONOR device without any confusion or extra tools. Lastly, for privacy-conscious users, the AI Deepfake Detection feature adds a layer of trust to video calls. If the system detects signs that a face might be AI-generated or altered, it flags the user with a confidence score. It's not something you'll need often, but it adds assurance during calls with unfamiliar contacts or business interactions. Battery and Charging: Battery life is another area where both phones excel. The HONOR 400 features a 6000mAh silicon-carbon battery with 80W fast charging, while the HONOR 400 Pro boosts that to 100W wired and 50W wireless charging. In everyday use, the phones comfortably last a full day on a single charge (and maybe even more if you are a light user) – even with a mix of video streaming, social media, and gaming. Final Thoughts: The HONOR 400 and HONOR 400 Pro combine powerful hardware, flagship-level AI tools, and smart design to deliver standout performance in the mid-range market. While the 400 Pro is clearly the more powerful of the two, even the standard HONOR 400 holds its own with ease.
