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.

70% Honor 400 Lite Review: Get the iPhone looks for less
Source: Amateur Photographer English
Most can’t justify spending a fortune on an iPhone, but still want the looks and camera handling of one. And that’s where the 400 Lite comes in. You obviously don’t get multiple high-resolution sensors or the speed or image quality of a flagship iPhone. But the Honor’s main camera performs well in most scenarios, sufficient for a beginner taking casual photos. On the whole, the Honor 400 Lite looks good, has a bright screen and a snappy camera button and most importantly, doesn’t break the bank.

80% Honor 400 Lite review: The Talented Mr. Ripley
Source: Expert Reviews English
Im not a fan of Honor doubling down on the Apple cosplay. It feels like a lack of confidence in the product, which is madness because, as far as budget phones go, the Honor 400 Lite is one of the best. Performance and battery life are better than last year, the main camera is still a decent shooter, its IP65 rating means its more robust and that new 120Hz display makes everything feel lovely and smooth in use. Plus, of course, the software support is fantastic. I could have done without the superfluous camera button and the backup cameras arent up to the same standard as the main one, but otherwise, its extremely well-rounded. For £250, its a good amount of phone, and delivers the kind of value for money Apple fans can only dream of. It would, however, be nice to see Honor move away from imitation and commit to establishing its own identity with the next generation.

70% The Honor 400 Lite gives you iPhone 16 Pro Max features on the cheap, without the Apple performance
Source: Techradar English
The Honor 400 Lite is a fascinating budget Android phone that seems way more enamored with the Apple way of doing things. Its similarity to the iPhone results in a solid handset with some appealing features, including a dedicated camera button and a handy notch widget system. However, the Honor 400 Lite takes its eye off the ball in some key areas, including performance and camera quality.

Honor 400 Lite – Unboxing
Source: Cool Smartphone English
Having used the Honour 400 Lite for a few days now, I can say that it falls firmly into the lower end of the current smartphone market. This is perfectly acceptable, as it aligns with the intended market. However, there are a couple of shortcomings that I’ve noticed. The most significant ones are the single loudspeaker setup and the lack of wireless charging. While these features are not uncommon in high-end or high-priced devices, they are still a downside for this phone. The performance can also be a bit slow at times. However, this may be due to the fact that the phone is currently running on pre-release software, as it is not officially launching until the end of the month. Despite these minor flaws, if you’re looking for a low-cost entry-level smartphone with good battery life and reasonable charging speeds, then the Honour 400 Lite might be worth considering. I’ll provide a more detailed review in the future, after I’ve had a chance to use the phone for a bit longer.

60% Honor 400 Lite review: attack of the iPhone clones?
Source: Stuff TV English
If the Honor 400 Lite looked any different, it’d be lost in the shuffle. As affordable phones go it’s an alright performer, takes a decent enough photo, and can go all day on a charge – but the same can be said for most of its rivals. The top contenders also excel in one or more areas. The Poco X7 Pro lasts even longer and has more power; the Nothing Phone 3a has unique looks and streamlined software; the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion is way tougher. Honor’s own Magic 7 Lite remains the longevity champ, and you won’t mistake it for an iPhone. But maybe that’s exactly what you want? None of the cheap competition do such a convincing impression of a premium handset. If you don’t mind paying for that design, you’ll be happy enough with what the 400 Lite offers for the cash. A very affordable all-rounder that’s rather shameless in its iPhone inspirations. The Honor 400 Lite appeals to those who like the Apple look, but budget rivals arguably have more unique personalities.

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).


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

Qualcomm Adreno 720: Graphics chip for smartphones and tablets, integrated in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 SoC.

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. 

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

Imagination IMG BXM-8-256: Single core variant of the IMG BXM-8-256. Uses tile based deferred rendering and according to Imagination is about 30% more power efficient than the previous generation.

77.94%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
