If you’ve ever fancied a camera that could read your mind and a battery that outlasts your binge-watching habits, the newly unveiled HONOR 400 Series might just be your digital soulmate.
Launched globally and now available for pre-order in Singapore from just $599, HONOR’s latest mid-range marvels are a pretty good deal for the price.
The HONOR 400 Pro comes armed with a 200MP main sensor alongside a 12MP ultra-wide and macro lens, and a 50MP AI telephoto shooter with Sony’s IMX856 sensor. Add in 3x optical zoom and a staggering 50x digital zoom, and you’ve essentially got a pocket-sized observatory.
The standard HONOR 400 is no slouch either, boasting 30x telephoto with its main camera. A 50MP front-facing portrait camera powered by AI means you’ll never suffer another badly lit video call or blotchy Instagram post again.
HONOR’s AI Image to Video tool, developed with Google Cloud, transforms your static photos into five-second cinematic vignettes. Whether it’s a scenic view or an AI-generated artwork, you’re only a tap away from making it move.
Prefer something more hands-on? You’ve got an arsenal: AI Eraser 2.0, AI Remove Reflection, AI Face Tune, and even Moving Photo Collages.
Under the hood, the HONOR 400 Pro runs on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, while the base model packs the 7 Gen 3 with GPU Turbo X for those intense gaming sessions. Both phones are equipped with a 6,000mAh silicon-carbon battery that survives -20°C temperatures, holds up over four years, and charges to nearly 50% in 15 minutes.
The Pro comes with IP68/IP69 ratings, while the HONOR 400 gets IP65, plenty to survive your next outdoor adventure or accidental bathroom plunge.
The 1.5K AMOLED display comes with a 120Hz refresh rate and an eye-searing 5,000 nits peak brightness or 1.5 nits in Ultra Dark Mode. There’s Dynamic Dimming, Circadian Night Mode, and even Motion Sickness Relief for those prone to screen-induced queasiness in moving vehicles.
Powered by MagicOS 9.0, the HONOR 400 Series is designed for an AI-forward future. Whether it’s real-time translations in 14 languages, AI-generated meeting summaries, or correcting your grammar with a gentle nudge, the phone becomes your pocket-sized executive assistant.
Gemini, Google’s AI assistant, is also included. Whether you’re planning a trip, revising for an exam, or just looking for someone to bounce ideas off, Gemini is literally a press of the power button away. In a world where digital deception is getting cleverer, HONOR has also thrown in on-device Deepfake Detection AI, because nobody wants to be catfished by an algorithm.
The HONOR 400 Pro starts at $899 and comes in Lunar Grey, Tidal Blue, and Midnight Black with 512GB of storage and 24GB of RAM (including Turbo RAM).
The base HONOR 400, retailing at $599, is available in Desert Gold and Midnight Black, packing 256GB storage and the same 24GB RAM.
For the pre-order perks, HONOR is throwing in freebies worth up to $436 if you’re quick enough to place an order by 29 May 2025. For the HONOR 400 Pro, you’ll receive an HONOR CHOICE Earbuds Clip, a Watch 2i, a phone case, and a year’s extended warranty.
Opt for the standard HONOR 400 and you’ll still walk away with a bundle worth $337. Not a bad deal for a phone that punches above its weight. These devices will be on shelves and in telco bundles starting 30 May.
