Honor 400 Pro Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Honor 400 Pro - one step away from flagship status

Pro versions of smartphones of the main line from the Chinese company Honor have become really popular all over the world. If competitors from Xiaomi in the person of Poco prioritized rather performance, then the above-mentioned corporation managed to offer decent photographic capabilities and excellent design for a similar price. The developers also added excellent autonomy to the hero of today's review.

The appearance of the new product will appeal to most of the audience. Yes, savings on edging materials (plastic instead of metal) are still visible, but a stylish glass back panel, an original block of three cameras, well-chosen colors of the cases, the appearance of moisture protection according to IP68 standards and thin screen frames make the exterior very attractive. The 6.7-inch AMOLED screen has increased in brightness (4500 nits), and the clarity of the image has slightly increased with the same resolution of 2700x1224 pixels due to the change in the diagonal. The smoothness of the picture is the same at a 120 Hz refresh rate, the color rendering has no serious errors. Of course, there is also an oleophobic coating.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, 12/16 GB of RAM and the Adreno 750 video core can still be considered one of the top bundles for Android devices. It is very difficult to notice even the slightest lags in the operating system interface, and launching any applications takes a few fractions of a second. But the main thing is the result of more than two million points in the AnTuTu test. It means that the gaming capabilities of the chipset are very wide. Zenless Zone Zero, Fortnite and dozens of other resource-intensive projects will be available with a stable frame rate at the highest graphic presets. The battery brought to 7000 mAh allows you not to worry about the sudden discharge of your mobile assistant. 10-12 hours of active screen time will be commonplace. In addition to the 100W wired charging, there is a 50W wireless alternative.

The upgraded 50-megapixel photo module from Sony and the same 50MP telephoto lens (3x optical zoom) received hybrid stabilization and are not far behind expensive flagships in terms of photo and video quality. The detailing is high, noise reduction is configured correctly, even shots of dynamic scenes do not cause complaints. The 12-megapixel wide-angle lens is already frankly weaker than its camera phone counterparts, but still not bad. There is no disappointment from the bass stereo sound, and the list of advantages is also replenished with NFC contactless payments, support for 5G networks and eSIM (not in all versions), a gyroscope. Thus, we have a great way to save money and get an extremely balanced and productive device.
