Honor 400 series redefines portraits with 200MP AI Camera and next-gen features

AI is reshaping how a lot of Mzansi is thinking about their smartphones. It’s not the flashy claims that interests the country anymore, but the everyday connections. (Also, reducing FOMO). Rising to this need, the newly released Honor 400 and Honor 400 Pro introduce an AI-enhanced camera that works quietly but powerfully behind every shot. It’s a new device building on the brand’s focus on the future.

5 ways Honor’s AI Camera puts South African storytellers first

1. Perfect timing, every time
   AI Portrait Snap senses movement and expression to capture natural moments. Whether it’s a sudden laugh or a reflective glance, there’s no blur or the need for (edited-looking) filters.
2. Turn photos into short clips
   Image‑to‑Video, powered by Google Cloud’s Veo 2, allows you to transform any portrait into a brief, polished clip in seconds. It’s instantly helpful for sharing without editing apps.
3. 200 MP clarity with no bulky extras
   The impressive 200 MP main sensor teams up with AI tools such as Erase Passers‑by and Remove Reflection to deliver sharp images, with up to 30× zoom via the main lens. There is a hard-to-ignore 50× zoom on the Honor Pro version.
4. Bright screens and long days
   The AMOLED displays are once again a must-see, with 6.55 inches on the Honor 400, 6.7 inches on the Honor 400 Pro. These specs mean that the devices stay impressively visible in sunlight, while the large, silicon‑carbon battery (up to 6000 mAh) means you can shoot even when that sun turns into a moon.
5. A phone that evolves
   Here for the long run, they are powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 running MagicOS 9.0. The value increases over time with both devices benefiting from 6 years of Android and security updates.

Across lifestyles through Mzansi, the Honor 400 and Honor Pro offer more than taking great photos. They intelligently save time, tidy, enhance and animate, so content is less about gear and more about your needs. Coupled with the added R8 000 in value from the launch offer, this is a launch device that fits real life with real advantages.
