Verdict - The 400 Pro is fully equipped

Honor has provided its 400 Pro with a generous feature set. The Pro model comes with features we missed in our review of the standard 400: wireless charging, better IP certification, and a 6 GHz band.

The 400 Pro impresses with a wide range of cameras, ample storage, and high system performance. The manufacturer also offers a six-year update guarantee. The battery life is just as impressive as the charging speed.

What are the differences compared to the flagships? For example, they usually feel even more premium in the hand. The 400 Pro also offers plenty of performance, but lacks the latest processor. Finally, there's still room for improvement regarding the camera system. However, the 400 Pro offers good value for money, especially considering its asking price.

Pros

+ good system performance
+ long runtimes, quick charging
+ wireless charging
+ good camera system
+ IP69

Cons

- gets hot under load
- high power consumption
- buttons wobble
- no AOD

Price and availability - The Honor has a good starting price

The Honor 400 Pro's RRP is £699. At the time of testing, applying a voucher on the manufacturer's UK online store ensures the device can be yours for £549. An additional selection of free gifts (valued at £309) is also available. This includes free headphones, a 100-watt power adapter, and an extended 180-day, one-time replacement warranty.

With its numbered series, Honor is offering an alternative to its own flagships. The 400 Pro represents the top model in the series alongside the 400 and 400 Lite.

The 400 Pro is only available in Germany with 512 GB of storage and 12 GB of RAM. It comes in two colors: Lunar Gray and Midnight Black. Our review device is black.

Case - The 400 Pro is water and dustproof

The Honor 400 Pro feels good in the hand. The front and back are slightly rounded towards the edges, and the buttons are located on the right side of the case. They possess a good pressure point, but they wobble on the review device.

The frame and rear are matte and resistant to fingerprints. The device is IP69 water and dust resistant. With the application of force, the smartphone can be twisted slightly, which creates a noise. The gaps are very small and even, but we did notice the first scratches on the USB port during the testing period.

Features - The Pro model packs USB 2.0

Honor has omitted expandable storage for its 400 Pro, but at 512 GB, the internal storage is substantial. The device supports dual SIM and eSIM.

Unfortunately, the USB port is only USB 2.0 compatible, but the device supports exFAT and NTFS file systems. When paired with a Samsung PSSD T7, we achieved a transfer speed of 37.6 MB/s.

Software - Honor promises six-year updates

Honor ships the 400 Pro with Android 15 and the MagicOS 9.0 UI. The smartphone will receive six years of security updates and six Android versions. With the 400 series, the manufacturer is relying heavily on AI features. Its software can convert images into videos and act as a translator for videos and calls.

Sustainability

The 400 Pro comes in a small, plastic-free box. The manufacturer hasn't provided information concerning the device's carbon footprint. The large battery capacity and long software support suggest long-term usability.

Communication and GNSS - The 400 Pro has Wi-Fi 7

Honor has equipped the 400 Pro with Wi-Fi 7, which includes the 6 GHz band. When used with our reference router, the Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000, the transfer speeds fluctuated somewhat but remained at a good level.

LTE and 5G reception were also unremarkable in our tests. Dual SIM is possible with two physical SIM cards or one physical SIM and one eSIM. The band coverage can be best described as acceptable.

Telephone functions and voice quality - The 400 Pro offers live translations

Honor relies on its own, no-frills phone app. The only special feature is real-time call translation, for which the corresponding plug-in must be downloaded. Chinese, English, German, French, Spanish, and Italian can be translated.

The voice quality is good, especially when AI noise reduction is active. The earpiece and speaker can get loud. Live translation is practical, but not perfect. Upon request, the call can be transcribed.

Cameras - Honor AI converts images into videos

A selfie with the Honor 400 Pro

Honor uses a triple setup for its 400 Pro. The 200 MP main camera is supported by a 50 MP zoom and a 12 MP ultra-wide-angle camera. Overall, the camera performance is impressive. Compared to high-end smartphones, however, it lacks dynamic range and sharpness. Images from the zoom and ultra-wide-angle cameras are usable.

The software can sharpen images upon request, and the AI ​​can perform color adjustments. Overall, many software features are available, such as AI-based image enhancement, which works well. Videos with the main camera are possible at a maximum of 4K and 60 fps.

The 50 MP front camera takes decent selfies. The portrait mode is also impressive. Videos with the front camera are possible at a maximum of 4K and 30 fps. The video quality is good, with two standouts being the stabilization and fast autofocus.

Accessories and warranty - The 400 Pro comes with a pre-fitted screen protector

The 400 Pro package includes the device, a SIM card reader, and a USB cable. A screen protector has already been applied to the display. A charger and headphones are included free of charge as part of Honor's introductory offer.

The warranty period for the 400 Pro is 24 months in Germany.

Input devices and operation - The 400 Pro only has 2D face recognition

Out of the box, Honor uses its "emoji keyboard". In our tests, typing was smooth. Inputs were reliably recognized even at the edges of the display. The factory-applied protective film is clearly noticeable at the edges and quickly bubbles. The gliding properties are okay, but better without the film.

We like the linear vibration motor. The feedback is crisp, and it operates relatively quietly. The optical fingerprint reader also impresses with its fast and reliable unlocking. However, it could be positioned a touch higher. Although there are two lenses on the front of the 400 Pro, the smartphone only offers 2D facial recognition. This works quickly in good lighting conditions.

Display - The Honor can hit 5,000 nits

The Honor 400 Pro uses a 6.7-inch AMOLED panel. It supports a maximum refresh rate of 120 Hz, with further refresh rates of 90 and 60 Hz according to the DRM information. However, during testing, we also noticed screen flickering at a low frequency of 60 Hz. Honor offers a special 3,840 Hz PWM dimming mode in the settings.

We measured a maximum brightness of 1,518 cd/m² in the APL measurement. We also observed the 5,000 nits advertised by Honor, but only with HDR content. Our review device even managed to reach 5,199 cd/m². Without an ambient light sensor, a maximum of 642 nits was measured.

Overall, the display impressed us with uniform illumination and vibrant colors.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ
To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM detected 60 Hz
Amplitude: 14.67 %
Secondary Frequency: 4166 Hz

The display backlight flickers at 60 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) .

The frequency of 60 Hz is very low, so the flickering may cause eyestrain and headaches after extended use.

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8350 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 1 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (32.1 ms).

The 400 Pro's brightness reserves are large enough to allow use in direct sunlight. Viewing angle stability is also good. Content is reproduced with true colors and is easily visible even from wide angles.

Performance - The 400 Pro has performance to spare

Honor has gone with Qualcomm’s top SOC from last year, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and the smartphone offers a high level of performance.

In everyday use, the 400 Pro impresses with its fast system performance. We didn't notice any stuttering, and in benchmarks, the 400 Pro generally sits in the middle of the pack compared to its competitors. BaseMark OS II and AndroBench could not be installed.

Emissions - The Honor 400 Pro throttles in the stress tests

Temperature - The 400 Pro gets hot

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is known for its high levels of heat production, and this is an area where the 400 Pro also struggles. Under maximum load in the Burnout benchmark, we measured a maximum temperature of 48.1 degrees Celsius on the front and 44.1 degrees Celsius on the back of the device.

In everyday use, however, the smartphone remains pleasantly cool. Even when watching videos and playing games, the Honor becomes noticeably warm, but not hot. The stress tests highlight significant throttling.

Speakers - The Honor 400 Pro gets loud

Honor has fitted the 400 Pro with stereo speakers. Overall, the smartphone gets very loud, but with very little vibration. The highs are pleasantly linear, but even for a smartphone, the bass is lacking.

We were able to connect Bluetooth headphones without any issues during our test.

Battery life - The 400 Pro enjoys 20 hours of display-on time

The EU version of the 400 Pro uses a 5,300 mAh battery. This gives the 400 Pro a runtime of over 20 hours in our realistic Wi-Fi web surfing test. In everyday use, two days of use without charging are also possible.

Charging is possible at up to 100 watts, provided you have a suitable power adapter. We didn't use the original power adapter in our test; instead, we used the Anker 335 power adapter. This allows the smartphone to charge from 0 to 41 percent in 15 minutes. A full charge takes 50 minutes.

Wireless charging is possible at a maximum of 50 watts.

Notebookcheck overall rating - The 400 Pro is a comprehensive package

For anyone who can do without the last bit of performance and prestige of a high-end smartphone, the Honor 400 Pro is an interesting alternative. The camera, display, and performance left us impressed. The slightly higher power consumption is compensated for by the large battery, and the 400 Pro offers good battery life.

Honor also offers long update periods, plenty of storage, and features such as eSIM support and wireless charging.
