Honor 400 Pro tipped to launch with cut-down Snapdragon 8-series silicon

The Honor 400 Pro is thought to launch with what would have been top-end silicon in 2023. The "Snapdragon 8 Gen 3" will not be as fast as it could be in the new Android smartphone, according to a new leak. The upcoming mid-ranger might have other advantages, however.

The Honor 300 Pro is a premium mid-range Android smartphone powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor - as will the upcoming 400 Pro, according to the latest rumors.

It has allegedly surfaced with a chipset made of 3 different clusters of ARM cores, the fastest of which is clocked at 3.05GHz - as opposed to the quad-cluster lay-out of the original 8 Gen 3 with its single 3.3GHz Cortex-X4.

Nevertheless, the veteran leaker Digital Chat Station asserts that the former will indeed be marketed as the 8 Gen 3 in the 400 Pro - perhaps as an "efficiency" version.

Digital Chat Station cites a new Geekbench listing for an "Honor DNP-NX9" in posting this new tip, even though the 400 Pro was linked to the model number DNP-AN00 in an earlier leak. It is still possible that the former is a China-only variant, however.

Either way, the 400 Pro is also now backed to boast 90W charging for its ~7,000mAh battery, which would beat its potential rival the Realme Neo 7 in that respect.

The device might have 12GB of RAM and run Android 15 on its launch.

The iQoo Z10: a 90W/7,000mAh+ smartphone now available on Amazon in India.

I became a professional writer and editor shortly after graduation. My degrees are in biomedical sciences; however, they led to some experience in the biotech area, which convinced me of its potential to revolutionize our health, environment and lives in general. This developed into an all-consuming interest in more aspects of tech over time: I can never write enough on the latest electronics, gadgets and innovations. My other interests include imaging, astronomy, and streaming all the things. Oh, and coffee.
