Honor Confirms China Launch Date for 400 Series with Major Battery Upgrade

Honor has officially announced that the Honor 400 and Honor 400 Pro smartphones will debut in China on May 28 at 7:30 pm local time (5:00 pm IST). The company has been teasing key features ahead of the launch, highlighting significant improvements over the previous generation, especially in battery capacity and chipset performance. Both models are confirmed to run on powerful Snapdragon processors and will sport notably larger batteries compared to the Honor 300 series, alongside premium build quality featuring a metal middle frame.

The Honor 400 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, while the 400 Pro is expected to feature a “new generation Snapdragon flagship chip,” likely the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 SoC. Both devices boast an impressive 7,200mAh battery—an upgrade from last year’s 5,300mAh capacity in the Honor 300 series. These enhancements aim to deliver extended usage times and improved overall performance for users who demand longer battery life and faster processing power.

For global markets, however, the battery specifications differ slightly. According to listings on the Honor UK website, the international variants of the Honor 400 and Honor 400 Pro are equipped with 6,000mAh batteries. The Pro model supports fast charging at 100W wired and 50W wireless speeds, while the vanilla model offers 80W wired charging. This makes the global versions more versatile in charging options, balancing capacity and speed.

In terms of camera and design, the Honor 400 Pro features a triple rear camera setup that includes a massive 200-megapixel main sensor, a 50-megapixel telephoto lens, and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide sensor. The front camera is a sharp 50-megapixel shooter. It also comes with IP68 and IP69 dust and water resistance certifications. The Honor 400 offers a dual rear camera system with the same 200-megapixel main sensor paired with a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera and a 50-megapixel front camera, boasting an IP66 rating. Both phones will come in several color options, including Lunar Grey, Midnight Black, and Tidal Blue for the Pro, and Desert Gold, Midnight Black, and Meteor Silver for the base model.

Both models are rumored to include a 200-megapixel primary rear camera and a large 5,300mAh battery.

Leaked renders, shared by 91mobiles in collaboration with tipster Sudhanshu Ambhore, give us a closer look at the design of the Honor 400 and Honor 400 Pro. The standard Honor 400 is expected to have a flat-edged design with a hole-punch display, slim bezels, and a dual rear camera setup. The phone will be available in shades of gold and black. On the other hand, the Honor 400 Pro will have a more premium design with a quad-curved display and a pill-shaped cutout for the front camera. The Pro model is shown with a triple rear camera setup and will come in grey and black color options.

In terms of specifications, both the Honor 400 and 400 Pro are expected to run on the Android 15-based MagicOS 9.0 custom skin. They will feature a 50-megapixel front-facing camera and a 5,300mAh battery, which should offer impressive longevity. Other common features include dual SIM support, stereo speakers, NFC connectivity, and an in-display fingerprint sensor. Additionally, both models are rumored to have an SGS five-star drop resistance build, ensuring durability. The Honor 400 will likely sport a 6.55-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 5,000 nits peak brightness, while the Honor 400 Pro will feature a slightly larger 6.7-inch AMOLED display with the same 120Hz refresh rate and peak brightness.

The camera setups are one of the most exciting features of these smartphones. The Honor 400 is tipped to come with a dual rear camera unit, including a 200-megapixel primary sensor with OIS and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens. In comparison, the Honor 400 Pro will boast a more advanced triple-camera setup, including the same 200-megapixel primary sensor but with additional lenses, such as a 50-megapixel telephoto sensor and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera. Fast charging capabilities are another standout feature, with the Honor 400 supporting 66W wired fast charging and the Honor 400 Pro offering a more powerful 100W fast charging solution.
