Honor’s 400 phones are midrangers built to last

Honor has announced 400 and 400 Pro, two medium phones launched today in the United Kingdom and Europe. They are phones capable of appearance in many respects, but they are mostly protruding to ensure six years of software support, which has been surpassed by Google’s Pixel 9A for the price.
In fairness, at a price of 699.99 pounds / 799 euros (about 900 dollars), 400 Pro is truly pioneer itself. It is supported by 2023 Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SlidesIt features a 6.7 -inch AMOLED screen, IP68 and 69 classifications, and a large 5300 mAh battery (with a 6000 mAh cell outside the hour outside Europe). The triple camera is also impressive, with a main fire of 200 megapixels, as well as superior and phone.
I admire 400 customs, not only because at a price of 399.99 pounds sterling / 499 euros (about $ 560), it’s much cheaper. It has straight sides, instead of the curved edges of the Pro model, and guaranteed with a 6.5 -inch screen, it is more comfortable to use.
400 ships with the same main and high cameras as professionals, and they only give up on the closest. IP65 water resistance is slightly less comprehensive, and Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 will not provide much energy, but combining the same large battery and the smaller screen should give this great tolerance. The main downside for me is to give up the professional wireless charging.
More importantly, the commitment of honor for six years of operating system versions and six years of safety corrections is the same for both phones, and it should be seen even Android 21 in 2031. Galaxy A56And shorten only one year of the seven -year -old guaranteed Pixel 9A. Both 400 Honor’s Magicos and Android 15 phones reaches the unique artificial intelligence Photo feature to the Google’s Veo 2Currently, it is not available on any other phones.
Although I have not been fully sold at the price of 400 Pro at the prices near Flagship, the 400 base looks like a convincing alternative to Pixel 9A and Galaxy A56. It is cheaper than either of them, it should last for a long time, and the best in all of the specifications.
