Today, we have the new Honor 400 Pro, fresh off its announcement. In a phone world that’s constantly moving towards flat and squared-off phones (thanks, Apple!), this curvy handset comes to serve those that still appreciate the improved fit inside your palm.
Both the front and back panels of the Honor 400 Pro are rounded at the edges, and the corners are rounded. You either love curved phones or you hate them, we’ve found, even here at GSMArena opinions are split.
But it’s not all about the shape. Honor’s numerical series has always been design-focused (similarly to Oppo’s Reno series). The Honor 400 Pro is a pretty phone and feels nice in the hand – we’d even use this one case-free (gasp!). The Honor 400 Pro is also now IP68 and IP69 rated for the highest water and dust protection.
The unboxing is nothing special – you get the phone in a box, plus a USB cable for €800. The phone supports potent 100W charging, but you’d need to buy Honor’s pricey charger separately.
The Honor 400 Pro is easy to tell apart from the vanilla Honor 400. The non-Pro has flat sides all around, one less camera on the back (no 3x zoom), and is lacking the depth sensor upfront.
While on the inside, the Pro has a more potent SoC – SD 8 Gen 3 vs SD 7 Gen 3, and more RAM – 16 GB vs 8 GB.
The Honor 400 Pro next to the Honor 400
Honor made some changes to the cameras compared to the 200 Pro – the main unit has a 200 MP sensor, while the zoom is slightly longer at 3x (vs 2.5x).
The ultrawide is seemingly the same 12 MP f/2.2 unit, as is the 50 MP f/2.1 selfie shooter.
Finally, the Honor 400 series has a neat little feature called Photo to Video, driven by Google’s Veo 2art video generation model, based on Google Cloud’s Vertex AI.
It can create a 5-second video from a photo you give it. It takes about a minute to complete the video generation, and there’s no sound, but the results are highly impressive.
