The Honor 400 features and specifications

Honor 400 Design and Build

The Honor 400 sets itself apart in the crowded mid-range smartphone market with a refined and modern design that prioritizes both style and a comfortable user experience. Moving away from the curvier aesthetic of its predecessors, the Honor 400 embraces a more contemporary, flat-edged, and boxy profile that is both stylish and highly practical.

1. Premium Materials and In-Hand Feel
   Honor has meticulously crafted the 400 with a focus on a high-quality build. The device features a glass front and back, which is often a feature reserved for more expensive flagships. The front is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus, a major upgrade that offers superior scratch and drop resistance. The back of the phone boasts a matte glass finish, which not only looks elegant but also improves grip and resists fingerprints and smudges, keeping the phone looking pristine.
   While the frame is made of plastic, it is seamlessly integrated with the glass panels, giving the phone a solid and premium feel that belies its mid-range price. The dimensions of 156.5 x 74.6 x 7.3 mm and a weight of just 184 g make the Honor 400 exceptionally slim and lightweight. This smaller form factor, combined with the flat sides, provides a secure and comfortable grip, making it a joy to hold and use for extended periods.
2. Aesthetic and Functional Design Elements
   The Honor 400’s design is a study in purposeful simplicity. The camera island on the back has been redesigned from an oval to a unique, rhombic shape. This subtle change gives the phone a distinct visual identity without being overly flashy. The camera module is well-integrated and protrudes only slightly, minimizing wobble when the phone is placed on a flat surface.
   The front of the device is dominated by a stunning 6.55-inch AMOLED display with a punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera. The display features minimal, symmetrical bezels, achieving an impressive screen-to-body ratio that enhances the immersive viewing experience.
3. Durability and Protection
   Honor has equipped the 400 with a solid set of durability features for peace of mind. The phone is rated IP65 for dust and water resistance, meaning it is protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets. This makes it well-equipped to handle everyday spills, splashes, and use in dusty environments.
   The Honor 400 has earned a Swiss SGS 5-Star Drop Resistance certification, indicating it has been tested to withstand accidental drops better than many standard smartphones. This, combined with the robust Gorilla Glass Victus on the front, makes the phone a dependable choice for users who want a device that can handle the rigors of daily life.
4. Colorways:
   The Honor 400 is available in a range of sophisticated colors to suit different styles:
   • Midnight Black
   • Meteor Silver
   • Desert Gold
   • Tidal Blue

The Honor 400's design and build are among its most compelling features. It successfully marries a premium, glass-sandwich construction with a modern, utilitarian aesthetic. The phone is not only beautiful to look at but also comfortable to hold, and its robust IP65 and SGS drop resistance ratings ensure it's built to last. For a mid-range device, the Honor 400 offers a build quality that feels and looks far more expensive than its price tag.

Honor 400 Display

The Honor 400 sets a new standard for a mid-range smartphone display, offering a visual experience that rivals and, in some cases, surpasses more expensive flagship devices. The screen is a central highlight of this device, engineered to provide stunning clarity, vibrant colors, and unparalleled brightness for every type of user.

1. Unmatched Brightness for Every Scenario:
   The Honor 400's most impressive feature is its eye-popping 5000 nits of peak brightness. This is not just a number; it translates to a screen that remains perfectly legible even under the harshest direct sunlight. Whether you're navigating outdoors, checking emails on a bright day, or simply enjoying your favorite content, the display cuts through glare with ease, ensuring an excellent viewing experience no matter where you are. This exceptional brightness is a feature typically reserved for the highest-end flagship phones, making it a standout selling point for the Honor 400.
2. Silky-Smooth Visuals with 120Hz Refresh Rate:
   Experience a new level of fluidity with the 120Hz refresh rate. This feature ensures that everything from scrolling through web pages and social media feeds to navigating the user interface feels incredibly smooth and responsive. For mobile gamers, the high refresh rate provides a competitive edge, eliminating motion blur and delivering a more immersive and enjoyable gaming experience.
3. Exceptional Color and Clarity:
   The Honor 400's AMOLED display delivers deep, true blacks and vibrant, lifelike colors. With 1 billion colors supported, the screen reproduces content with remarkable accuracy and nuance. The high resolution of 1264 x 2736 pixels on a 6.55-inch screen results in a sharp pixel density of approximately 460 ppi, making text and images appear crisp and detailed. The display also supports HDR, bringing a wider range of colors and contrast to compatible videos and movies for a truly cinematic viewing experience.
4. Eye Comfort and Protection:
   Honor has prioritized user comfort with the inclusion of a high-frequency 3840Hz PWM dimming technology. This feature significantly reduces screen flicker at low brightness levels, which is a common cause of eye strain and fatigue, especially for users who spend a lot of time on their phones in dim lighting conditions. This makes the Honor 400's display a great choice for long-term use, providing a more comfortable and eye-friendly experience.

The Honor 400's display is a testament to Honor's commitment to delivering premium features at a competitive price. With its breathtaking 5000 nits brightness, silky-smooth 120Hz refresh rate, and stunning AMOLED panel with advanced eye-comfort features, the Honor 400 offers a visual experience that is hard to beat in its category. For anyone who values a top-tier display for media consumption, gaming, or everyday use, the Honor 400 is an outstanding choice.

Camera Specs

The Honor 400 stands out in the mid-range market not just for its sleek design and vibrant display, but for a camera system that punches well above its weight. With a focus on AI-driven features and a high-resolution sensor, this smartphone is a powerful tool for mobile photography enthusiasts and everyday users alike.

1. The Rear Camera System: 
   The Honor 400's camera is built around a versatile dual-camera setup on the back, with a clear emphasis on the main sensor:
   • 200MP Ultra-Clear AI Main Camera: This is the star of the show. The Honor 400 utilizes a large Samsung ISOCELL HP3 sensor (1/1.4-inch) with a wide f/1.9 aperture. It employs pixel-binning technology to capture stunning 12.5MP photos with exceptional detail, balanced colors, and excellent dynamic range. The sheer resolution allows for impressive 2x and even 4x digital zoom without a significant loss in quality, effectively emulating a telephoto lens and making it ideal for capturing distant subjects.
   • 12MP Ultra-Wide-Angle Camera: This secondary lens with a 112-degree field of view (f/2.2) is perfect for capturing expansive landscapes, group shots, or architectural photography. What sets it apart is the inclusion of autofocus, a feature often missing on ultra-wide cameras in this price range. This allows the ultra-wide lens to pull double duty as a capable macro camera, letting you get up close and personal with your subject to capture intricate details.
     The entire rear camera system benefits from Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS), ensuring your photos and videos are sharp and free from blur, even in challenging conditions or when using the digital zoom.
2. The Front Camera: 
   The Honor 400 doesn't skimp on the front camera. The 50MP selfie lens (f/2.0) captures high-resolution, detailed self-portraits. While it has a fixed focus, the focal plane is wide and forgiving, making it easy to snap a great photo. It's also capable of recording 4K video, a feature that is often reserved for a phone's main camera, making it excellent for vlogging and high-quality video calls.
3. AI-Powered Photography: 
   Honor has integrated its advanced AI HONOR Image Engine into the Honor 400's camera software, introducing a suite of smart features that elevate the photography experience:
   • AI Super Zoom: Leveraging the high-resolution main sensor, this feature enhances zoomed images (up to 30x digital zoom), ensuring clarity and detail that would otherwise be lost.
   • AI Image to Video: Co-developed with Google Cloud's Veo AI model, this groundbreaking feature can transform a single still image into a dynamic, short video clip with realistic motion and animation. It's a game-changer for bringing old or new photos to life.
   • AI Erase Passers-by: Easily and automatically remove unwanted objects or people from your photos with a single tap, a perfect tool for getting a clean shot of a landmark or scenic view.
   • AI Portrait Snap: This intelligent feature can detect and capture sharp, detailed portraits of moving subjects, preventing blur and ensuring you get a perfect shot of people in motion.
   • Artistic Modes: Explore your creative side with features like Harcourt Portrait Mode, which applies a dramatic, moody black-and-white aesthetic inspired by classic French photography.
4. Video Capabilities
   All three cameras on the Honor 400 (main, ultra-wide, and front) are capable of recording 4K video at 30fps. The combination of OIS and EIS ensures that your video footage remains stable and smooth, even when you're on the move.

The Honor 400's cameras are a testament to Honor's commitment to bringing flagship-level camera technology to a more accessible price point. The 200MP main sensor delivers stunning results in a variety of lighting conditions, and the autofocusing ultra-wide camera adds significant versatility. With its powerful AI-driven features that simplify complex editing and unlock new creative possibilities, the Honor 400 is a fantastic choice for anyone who wants to capture high-quality photos and videos without needing a professional camera.

Honor 400 Performance

The Honor 400 is a compelling device that balances reliable performance with an attractive feature set. It's built for general use and content creation, making it a strong contender in its class, though it's not designed to be a top-tier gaming phone.

1. Processor and Overall Performance 
   At its core, the Honor 400 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 (4nm) chipset. This is the same processor found in its predecessor, the Honor 200, but it remains a solid and efficient choice for everyday use. Coupled with either 8GB or 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM, the phone handles multitasking with ease, and apps open and run smoothly.
   While it's a capable chip, it's important to note that it's not the most powerful on the market. For tasks like web browsing, social media, and streaming, you won't experience any issues. However, for "hardcore" gamers or those who demand the highest frame rates in graphically intensive titles, the Honor 400 might not be the best fit.
2. Gaming and Benchmarks 
   In gaming tests, the Honor 400 delivers a respectable, if not groundbreaking, performance. It can handle popular titles like Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and League of Legends: Wild Rift with maxed-out settings, maintaining a consistent frame rate above 100 FPS. More demanding games like Zenless Zone Zero and Genshin Impact run well on medium settings, though with some minor frame drops. The phone can get warm during extended gaming sessions, but it's generally manageable.
   Benchmark scores, such as the AnTuTu v10 score of around 864,286 and a GeekBench 6 score of 3,198, confirm its position as a solid mid-ranger. It's not competing with flagship devices, but its performance is well-suited for its price point.
3. Battery and Charging 
   One of the standout features of the Honor 400 is its excellent battery life. The phone is equipped with a large 5,300mAh battery which can comfortably last a full day of moderate to heavy use. In some tests, it was able to last for up to a day and a half. This endurance makes it a reliable companion for travel or long days away from a charger.
   When you do need to top up, the 66W SuperCharge wired charging is impressively fast. It can charge the phone from 0 to 80% in just over 30 minutes, and a full charge takes around 40-45 minutes. This is a significant advantage over many competitors in the same price range, as it minimizes downtime. It's worth noting that the device does not support wireless charging.
4. Other Notable Performance Features
   • Display: The Honor 400's 6.55-inch AMOLED display is a major highlight. With a 120Hz refresh rate and a staggering peak brightness of 5000 nits, it provides a smooth and vibrant viewing experience, even in direct sunlight.
   • Cameras: The 200MP main camera is another strong point, producing sharp and detailed images. While the phone lacks a dedicated telephoto lens, it uses a high-resolution crop from the main sensor to achieve a surprisingly good digital zoom of up to 4x.
   • Software: The Honor 400 runs on Android 15 with Honor's MagicOS 9.0. It's guaranteed to receive six years of software and security updates, offering long-term value and a secure user experience.

The Honor 400's performance is a well-rounded package that delivers on its promise as a dependable and feature-rich mid-range smartphone. It's an excellent choice for users who prioritize a great display, a long-lasting battery, fast charging, and a capable camera system over raw gaming power.
