Reviews for the Honor 400 Pro

82.5% Almost on top of the pack - Honor 400 Pro smartphone review | Notebookcheck
Honor offers a ton of high-end technology at a somewhat more affordable price. The 400 Pro impresses with its many features: a bright display, large storage, and fast charging. Our review reveals where Honor has cut corners.
HONOR 400 Pro review – A mid-range phone with innovative AI
Source: Tech Nave English
Overall, the HONOR 400 Pro is a solid mid-range phone that's worthwhile. It has a beautiful screen and a near-flagship chipset capable of playing the latest games and delivers good performance. In addition, it has a long battery life, ultra-fast charging, and a charger in the box. However, those expecting useful AI functionalities on the HONOR 400 Pro might be disappointed. HONOR still needs to polish features like AI Image to Video a bit more before they become fully viable. Hopefully, we can see some improvements with future updates. For alternatives, you can consider the HONOR 400 (RM1899). It has the same AI features as its Pro counterpart and is more affordable, in exchange for a slower chipset and charging speed. It also doesn't have a telephoto camera. Another option is the realme GT 7 (RM2599), which performs on par with the HONOR 400 Pro. However, this phone doesn't have any AI features. If you want a phone with an eye-catching design, the OPPO Reno13 (RM2299) could be a better option instead.

80% Honor 400 Pro review: flagship performance for less
Source: T3 English
The Honor 400 Pro is a sub-flagship model with specs to beat some of the best – but at a price that’s appealing. There’s great performance and battery life, paired with fast-charging, and a display that really shines. The comprehensive camera system has some shortcomings, mind, and the software experience might divide opinion, but Honor's latest is a really solid handset for this kind of money.

80% I spent a week testing the Honor 400 Pro, and it's a powerful almost-flagship with some fancy AI tricks
Source: Techradar English
The Honor 400 Pro offers up a well-balanced flagship experience, with one or two judicious compromises, for a good chunk of money less than a true flagship. It’s not the first phone to offer such a combination, nor is it the cheapest, but it’s compelling nonetheless. Solid performance, a capable AI-enhanced camera, and a brilliant screen stand out, and there’s little that warrants a flat-out complaint here except for the usual UI gripes.

79% HONOR 400 Pro Review – A Flagship Feel Without the Flagship Price
Source: Pokde English
The HONOR 400 Pro is a well-balanced smartphone that walks the line between premium experience and mid-range affordability. It doesn’t try to be a “flagship killer” in the traditional, aggressive sense. Instead, it takes a more refined approach — offering premium features, polished performance, and thoughtful design choices, all at a more accessible price.

100% Honor 400 Pro review: Balancing act
Source: Expert Reviews English
In short, the Honor 400 Pro sees upgrades across the board while managing to retain the same affordability as its predecessor. That’s a clear algorithm for success. The six years of software support makes it one of the best investments in its price range, video finally gets 4K/60fps and improvements to performance and battery life keep it competitive with its biggest rivals. In fact, I’ve struggled to find meaningful areas in which the Honor 400 Pro falls down. Some of the image processing in the cameras isn’t optimal and the lack of official protective glass leaves me questioning if it’s as scratch-resistant as some competitors but otherwise, there’s very little wrong here. The Honor 400 Pro is a jack of all trades that offers near-flagship quality at a much more manageable price.

80% My test found the Honor 400 Pro’s image to video AI a bit freaky, but I still think it’s a fantastic mid-ranger
Source: Stuff TV English
n just a few short years, Honor has transformed its upper-midrange phones into true mainstream flagships. The 400 Pro can comfortably rub shoulders with Google and Samsung’s mass market models, thanks to its capable rear camera trio, high capacity battery, and impressively wide-reaching software smarts. Not everyone wants their photo galleries filled with AI-adjusted images, and Honor still needs to remember customers paying this sort of cash have a lower tolerance for pre-installed bloat. But the colourful screen, modern (yet still unique) styling and slightly more affordable price make it a genuine alternative for those who aren’t obsessed over brand names.

80% Honor 400 Pro review: who needs a flagship anyway?
Source: Digital Camera World English
While the smartphone competition is hotting up for 2025, if you pick up an Honor phone, you’re typically guaranteed a solid user experience, a complete feature-set and a reliable camera in most situations, and the Honor 400 Pro is no exception. Honor’s latest upper midranger combines a great screen with fast wired and wireless charging, plenty of power and a versatile, capable camera mix that can take excellent photos and videos. While some aspects of the Honor 400 Pro experience let it down – photo processing inconsistencies across its three cameras and very aggressive power management – it’s still easy to recommend for anyone looking for a do-it-all smartphone without a flagship price tag. So if you don’t need the very best smartphone of 2025 and are happy with one of the best value high-end alternatives, alongside the Poco F7 Ultra and Motorola Edge 60 Pro, the Honor 400 Pro could be a winning choice for photographers and creatives alike.

80% Honor 400 Pro review: Jack of all trades
Source: Tech Advisor English
The Honor 400 Pro can do it all, and it does it at a reasonable price. With a speedy chip inside, serious camera hardware, flagship-level AI features, a long-lasting battery and quick charging, it leaves little to be desired. That said, a plastic frame, divisive software and fairly weak ultrawide camera could be deal breakers for some.

80% Honor 400 Pro Review
Source: Trusted Reviews English
Admittedly, I’m a little torn on how to feel on the Honor 400 Pro. Don’t get me wrong, this is a capable mid-range handset that delivers on a sleek, grown-up look, a gorgeous screen and marvellous efficiency that pit it against the very best mid-range phones out there, but there is just something about it. It might be the triple camera array that Honor has made a lot of that’s holding me back. General performance here is good, with great detail and more natural colours than some key rivals, but the meagre low light performance in some settings and reliance on AI trickery at longer focal lengths stop it being an full-blown ‘go buy this now’ recommendation. This is an excellent phone for the most part, and it’ll give you all of what you need/want in a phone in 2025, but you can do better with some rivals for outright potency and camera performance.

80% Honor 400 Pro Review – your next favourite for portraits
Source: Amateur Photographer English
With a new, unique design and improved main camera, the 400 Pro confidently builds on the foundation laid by its predecessor. It excels in portrait photography, offering versatile creative options with the Harcourt modes, adjustable bokeh, and a 50MP front-facing camera with autofocus — a rare find at this price. Despite some drawbacks like inconsistent colours between the cameras, the 400 Pro delivers a solid performance across the board. The macro performance is really good, and features like the large 5370mAh battery, 5000-nit OLED display, and fast processor add substantial value.

80% Honor 400 Pro review: Great flagship alternative
Source: Canbuyornot English
The Honor 400 Pro is equipped with a sizable 6,000mAh battery that recharges at a pacey 100W via USB-C. During my testing, the phone comfortably lasts an entire day for me. I usually end the day with 50% battery left. In PCMark's battery test, the Honor clocked 10hr 10min, which is similar to the Samsung Galaxy S25. Given that it's also a value flagship using the same processor, the Poco F7 Pro is a likely competitor to the Honor 400 Pro. At S$899, the Honor is more expensive than the Poco (S$729), but the Honor has better cameras, and more AI tools. On the other hand, the Poco has the advantage for battery life. Both are solid upper mid-range models for those who want a near flagship phone experience without the hefty price tag. Pre-order now to receive freebies worth up to S$436 (valid till May 29) from Honor's official stores on Lazada and Shopee.

Comment

Qualcomm Adreno 750: Graphics chip for smartphones and tablets that is integrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. Qualcomm claims that it is 25% faster than the Adreno 7340 in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and first benchmarks show that the GPU can beat the Apple A17 Pro iGPU. 

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


SD 8 Gen 3: High-end SoC for smartphones that was introduced in late 2022 with a fast prime core based on a ARM Cortex-X3 architecture clocked at up to 3.2 GHz. Two more performance cores are based on the A715 and also support only 64 bit applications. The two additional A710 cores support also 32 bit applications as do the power saving Cortex-A510 cores. In addition to the processor cores, the SoC integrates a WiFi 7 modem, a Hexagon DSP (for AI acceleration) and a Spectra ISP. The integrated memory controller supports fast LPDDR5x memory with up to 4,200 MHz. 5G is included in the chip with the Snapdragon X70 modem.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


6.70":

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.

» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.


Honor:

In 2014 Huawei created the sub brand Honor and offers certain smartphone series under this name. Occasionally the products are also called Huawei Honor.

The market share of Honor products is manageable, but there are several reviews on Honor smartphones with average ratings (as of 2016).


83.79%: This rating is slightly above average, there are somewhat more devices with worse ratings. However, clear purchase recommendations look different.
