The HONOR 400 5G stands out as an exceptional mid-range smartphone, blending style, intelligence, and impressive AI capabilities to deliver premium features at an accessible price.
The exciting pre-order promotions—featuring P9,000 worth of fabulous freebies and a chance to win a luxurious Rolex or Hermes bag—make this the perfect time to invest in this amazing device.
After spending time exploring its strengths, here are the top five features I absolutely love about the HONOR 400 5G.
AI Photography that rivals flagships
The 200MP Ultra-Clear AI Camera is easily one of the most impressive features of the HONOR 400 5G.
Whether I’m shooting portraits, wide-angle landscapes, or selfies, the camera system consistently produces sharp, vibrant results.
Moreover, the features like AI Portrait Snap, AI Super Zoom, and Film Simulation Mode make every photo feel like a professionally edited shot — straight out of the camera.
I particularly love using Harcourt Portrait Mode, which adds a classy, cinematic depth to portraits with stunning light-shadow effects.
It truly feels like carrying a mobile photography studio in my pocket.
Seamless Sharing — Even to iOS users
One of the underrated but incredibly useful features is the HD Moving Photo with cross-platform sharing, including Share to iOS.
When I capture a live moment using the HONOR 400 5G’s Moving Photo feature, I can effortlessly share that same vibrant, motion-preserved snippet with friends who use iPhones.
This cross-platform compatibility removes a long-standing barrier between Android and iOS users, making it easier to share memories without compromising on quality or format.
Pro-Level AI editing tools
The built-in AI Editing Suite is a dream for content creators and casual users alike.
With just a few taps, I can:
- Erase background objects or passers-by
- Remove reflections
- Outpaint photo edges to create more immersive compositions
- Upscale old or low-res images
- Fix closed eyes in group photos using AI Face Tune
What truly stands out is the Image-to-Video tool. It transforms static photos into creative 5-second video clips with impressive realism. It’s creativity made easy — and it saves me hours of manual editing.
Eye-Friendly OLED display that shines outdoors
The 6.55-inch OLED display is bright, colorful, and incredibly smooth, thanks to its 120Hz refresh rate and 5000nits peak brightness. I never have to worry about sunlight washing out my screen — whether I’m reading at the beach or watching videos on the go.
More importantly, HONOR includes human-centric eye comfort features like:
- 3840Hz PWM dimming
- Dynamic Dimming
- Circadian Night Mode
- AI Defocus Display
- Ultra Dark Mode
These make a noticeable difference during long sessions of reading or late-night use.
It’s a display that cares for your vision.
MagicOS 9.0: Smart features that just work
Running on MagicOS 9.0 based on Android 15, the HONOR 400 5G feels snappy and intuitive.
I’m a big fan of Magic Portal 2.0, which lets me circle content and glide it into apps like Maps, eBay, or Flipkart.
It’s as if the phone understands my intent before I do.
The integration with Google Gemini also adds a layer of productivity and creativity — from writing tools and real-time translations to visual searches and AI-powered summaries.
It even includes AI Deepfake Detection during video calls, which is a first in my experience.
