Honor 400 in for review

Update 09 June: The Honor 400 battery life and charging tests are now ready. Check them out!

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 body style you like, this could be the phone you prefer out of the two. 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.

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 2 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.
