Honor is gearing up to reveal its next-generation smartphones—the Honor 400 and Honor 400 Pro. The global launch is set for May 22, while the China debut will take place on May 28 at 7:30 PM CST (5:00 PM IST). Ahead of the reveal, Honor has teased several key specs, covering everything from battery and camera to performance hardware.
This new series looks like a serious leap forward, with notable upgrades in core areas like battery life, imaging, and chipset performance.
Global Launch Details
Honor has confirmed that both the Honor 400 and 400 Pro global variants will pack 6,000mAh batteries. The Pro model supports 100W wired and 50W wireless charging, while the standard Honor 400 gets 80W wired fast charging—a solid bump over their predecessors in the Honor 300 lineup.
Both phones will feature high-end displays with:
- 5,000 nits peak brightness
- 1,280 x 2,800 resolution
- 120Hz refresh rate
- 460ppi pixel density
These specs promise great outdoor visibility, smooth visuals, and crisp detail—ideal for gaming and media.
Camera and Performance
Honor is turning up the heat on imaging this time. Both models come with a 200MP main rear camera, offering ultra-detailed shots. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect in terms of cameras and chipsets:
| Model | Rear Cameras | Front Camera | Chipset |
|---|---|---|---|
| Honor 400 Pro | 200MP main + 50MP telephoto + 12MP ultra-wide | 50MP | Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 |
| Honor 400 | 200MP main + 12MP ultra-wide | 50MP | Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 |
The Pro also gets a rugged edge with IP68 + IP69 water and dust resistance. The standard model is no slouch either, with IP66 protection—both good news for durability on the go.
Design and Build
Both phones will sport metal middle frames, adding a premium feel and improved toughness. Color choices are distinct between the two:
- Honor 400 Pro: Lunar Grey, Midnight Black, Tidal Blue
- Honor 400: Desert Gold, Midnight Black, Meteor Silver
Expect refined, modern aesthetics with flagship-grade construction—something Honor has consistently delivered.
China vs Global Variants
Interestingly, the China-specific models are rumored to feature 7,200mAh batteries, a step above the global 6,000mAh versions. This suggests Honor is tailoring specs based on regional preferences.
Chipsets might also vary. While the global Honor 400 Pro is confirmed to use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the Chinese variant could pack an even newer or customized flagship chip.
