The Honor 400 series is set to make its debut in European markets on May 22, featuring the Honor 400 and Honor 400 Pro models. In anticipation of the launch, Honor has revealed that both smartphones will come equipped with six years of Android updates. This initiative highlights the company’s enduring partnership with Google, which will also enhance the Honor 400 series with artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities powered by the Veo 2 video generation model, allowing users to convert images into short videos.
Honor 400 Series to Receive Extended Update Support
Honor has announced that its new devices, the Honor 400 and the Honor 400 Pro, will come with six years of Android OS updates. The company underscores that its ongoing collaboration with Google and other industry partners is essential to its Honor Alpha Plan, which aims to foster an expansive AI ecosystem through a three-pronged approach.
The Honor 400 series will also feature AI-driven capabilities for transforming images into videos via Google’s Vertex technology, utilizing the Veo 2 model. This functionality will enable users to animate still images like artwork and vintage photographs into short video clips lasting between five to seven seconds. However, this feature will not be available immediately at launch and will be rolled out through an over-the-air (OTA) update.
Following the recent Google I/O 2025 event, the China-based manufacturer has already made the Android 16 Beta program available for the Honor Magic 7 Pro since May 7, allowing developers to upgrade their devices to Android 16 Beta 3 and explore new features or adapt their applications for the upcoming operating system.
Specifications of the Honor 400 Series
The basic model, Honor 400, is confirmed to feature the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset. It will include a dual rear camera setup with a 200-megapixel primary camera alongside a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens, in addition to a 50-megapixel front-facing camera. Its IP66 certification ensures protection against dust and water.
On the other hand, the Honor 400 Pro will utilize the more powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. It will come equipped with a triple rear camera system that includes a 200-megapixel main sensor, a 50-megapixel telephoto lens, and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide angle camera. The Pro version will also feature a 50-megapixel front camera for high-quality selfies and video calls, complemented by an IP68 + IP69 rating for enhanced water and dust resistance.
Both models are expected to house 6,000mAh batteries in their global variants. The Honor 400 series will also sport high-resolution displays, with 1,280×2,800 pixels, achieving peak brightness of 5,000 nits and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, resulting in a pixel density of 460ppi.
