[Review] HONOR 400 Pro Brings Memories to Life with Next-Gen AI Imaging Photo to Video Feature

Earlier in May, global tech brand, HONOR, officially launched its latest flagship, the HONOR 400 Pro, setting a new benchmark for AI-powered smartphone photography.

Priced at a very reasonable S$899, the device combines cutting-edge AI imaging, professional-grade camera hardware, and powerful performance, making it a compelling choice for photography enthusiasts and tech-savvy users alike.

AI That Transforms Memories into Motion

One of the key highlights of the HONOR 400 Pro is its AI Image to Video function, which turns static photos into moving memories.

During testing, this feature proved especially emotional when old family photos were seamlessly animated, bringing moments with loved ones back to life in five-second clips. Developed in collaboration with Google Cloud, the AI intelligently enhances details, adjusts lighting, and even simulates natural motion, making it ideal for reviving cherished memories.

Beyond personal nostalgia, the AI-powered editing suite includes AI Outpainting, AI Cutout, and AI Remove Reflection, allowing users to refine photos effortlessly.

Below are some of our unedited travel shots from Jeju, Nanjing, and Taipei, showcasing the phone’s ability to produce vibrant, detailed images with minimal effort, even in challenging lighting conditions:

Pro-Grade Camera Hardware Meets AI Innovation

Software aside, the Honor 400 Pro comes packed with fairly decent camera hardware for its price:

• 200MP Super Sensing Main Camera (f/1.9, OIS + EIS) for ultra-sharp shots

• 12MP Ultra-Wide & Macro Camera for expansive landscapes and close-ups
• 50MP Front Camera with AI-enhanced portraits

The AI Super Zoom (up to 50x) and AI Enhanced Portrait modes ensure professional-quality results, while Harcourt Portrait Film Simulation adds cinematic flair to every shot.

Performance & Battery Life

Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the HONOR 400 Pro delivers smooth multitasking and gaming. The 6.7-inch Quad-curved AMOLED display (120Hz, 5000 nits peak brightness) ensures stunning visuals, while the 6000mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging keeps it running all day.
