Highlights

• The Honor 400 series debuts globally on the 22nd of May, 2025, featuring the Honor 400 and 400 Pro.
• These phones boast Snapdragon processors, brilliant displays, and intelligent AI features.
• Combining premium design and performance, they deliver strong value at mid-range prices.

Redefining the mid-range smartphone landscape is Honor, with the global launch of its Honor 400 and 400 Pro models. These devices promise a blend of state-of-the-art AI capabilities, robust performance, and an especially enduring battery life, catering to all users, enthusiasts, and everyday users alike. The series builds on the success of its predecessor while integrating the latest in display technology, camera capabilities, and processing power. With sleek designs that are complemented by a host of powerful hardware and software features, the Honor 400 series marks a significant evolution for the brand.

A Short Run-Down

According to recent reports, the phones will be officially announced on the 22nd of May 2025, for the global markets, and follow in China around May 28th. The 400 Pro is to make its debut as the flagship model, packing a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, triple rear cameras, and high-end features, while the standard 400 is a high-end, albeit mid-range, device with a Snapdragon 7 series chip and dual camera. This could most likely mean that Honor will be the first to utilize the Gen 4 model in a commercial device.

Some of these specifications were already leaked beforehand, and most of the information seems to hold. New developments on the devices claim that both run Android 15 with Honor’s MagicOS 9 and have a suite of AI tools (Google Gemini, AI Eraser, AI Superzoom, etc.) built in. In many ways, they improve on the Honor 300 series by offering faster processors, sharper cameras, and very large batteries in a stylish metal-and-glass package.

Sleek Design Meets Eye Comfort

Both the Honor 400 and 400 Pro showcase a refined and symmetrical design featuring a flat 6.55-inch OLED panel for the standard model, while the premium variant has a slightly larger screen at 6.7 inches, with a 1.5K resolution, offering stunning clarity and colour reproduction. This information comes courtesy of Digital Chat Station, which also revealed that the 400 has large R corners and a metal middle frame design.

These screens are engineered for eye comfort, incorporating advanced technologies such as Dynamic Dimming to mimic natural light rhythms, AI Circadian Night Display for improved sleep cycles, and AI Defocus EyeCare to reduce eye strain during long sessions.

The devices come in elegant finishes, including a distinctive textured rear panel inspired by natural elements. The Pro model features a soft matte glass that enhances grip and minimizes fingerprints, contributing to its premium feel. The polished aluminum frame adds structural integrity while accentuating the high-end aesthetic.

Harnessing the Power of Snapdragon.

Making use of Qualcomm’s latest chipsets, the Honor 400 series aims to fulfill the needs of all tiers of users. The Standard 400 is the first smartphone globally to debut the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor, although this configuration is reserved for Chinese audiences. Built on a power-efficient 4nm architecture, it offers a 27% increase in CPU performance and a 30% boost in GPU capabilities compared to the previous generation. This ensures smooth multitasking, fluid app transitions, and responsive gaming. In comparison, the global version has the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip.

The chipset also allows for cellular download speeds of up to 5.8 Gbps, and has support for Quick Charge 5 technology, and support for a 144Hz refresh rate at WQHD+ resolution.

The Honor 400 Pro steps up with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, one of the most powerful processors available. This SoC supports advanced AI computation, real-time ray tracing in games, and superior image signal processing. Combined with Honor’s GPU Turbo X and OS Turbo X optimization engines, users can expect amazing performance in a mid-range package. 

Both models offer up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of internal storage, ensuring sufficient room for apps, media, and productivity.

The enhanced cooling system in the Pro model allows it to have consistent performance even during prolonged usage. Honor’s proprietary heat dissipation materials and vapour chamber cooling keep temperatures in check during usage. 

Extended Usage Without Compromise.

Battery longevity is a standout feature of the Honor 400 series, supporting users through even the most demanding days. Blogger Digital Chat Station claims that the Chinese variants of both devices are backed by the same 7,200mAh battery, while the global variant will be equipped with a 5,300mAh battery. 

Both models are constructed using a robust metal frame and curved glass back, giving them a luxurious yet sturdy feel. The matte finish resists fingerprints and smudges, keeping the devices clean and elegant throughout the day. The Pro model goes further with IP68 and IP69 water and dust resistance certifications.

AI-Enhanced Photography.

Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the sophisticated camera systems on both devices. Speculation claims that the Honor 400 features a dual-camera setup with a 200MP main sensor that supports high-resolution and low-light photography. Paired with a 12MP ultra-wide lens, it delivers versatile shooting capabilities for landscapes and group shots. 

The 400 Pro upgrades to a triple-camera system. In addition to the 200MP main sensor and a 12MP ultra-wide camera, it incorporates a 50MP telephoto lens that supports OIS (Optical Image Stabilization), allowing for crisp shots even in challenging situations.

On the front, both models house a centrally positioned 50MP selfie camera equipped with AI beautification and gesture control, ideal for content creators and video calls.

Availability and Pricing.

For starters, the standard 400 model is expected to start at around 499 euros (around 48,000 INR), offering significant value for its hardware and feature set. The Honor 400 Pro, with its flagship-tier capabilities, is priced at approximately 799 euros (around 76,000 INR), still undercutting many high-end competitors. Please note that imports and other factors may cause differences in prices.

Pre-orders are live across multiple global markets, including China, India, and Europe, with a strong focus on digital and retail availability. Honor is also offering launch-time incentives to early adopters.

Both devices not only cater to performance-driven users but also to those who value photography, and even to those who prefer larger battery capabilities and smart usability. The Honor 400 series represents a confident step forward for the brand, reshaping user expectations of what a mid-range device can do.
