HONOR 400 5G

SMARTPHONE

- REVIEWED BY ALJHELYN PIADOR

They say AI is here to stay, so why not make sure that the thing you hold for 90% of your day (yes, your phone) actually keeps up? The HONOR 400 5G gets the memo. It's not just sleek and social media-ready; it's smart, self-aware, and built to make your everyday life faster, prettier, and a whole lot easier.

Marketed as a lifestyle phone that blends intuitive AI with head-turning style, the HONOR 400 5G aims to be your digital sidekick. But does it deliver more than just good looks and buzzwords? Time to break it down.

DESIGN

The HONOR 400 5G looks like it was designed by someone who scrolls through Pinterest for fun and actually understands good taste. The satin matte back finish feels premium without being flashy, while the soft curvature and featherlight frame make it ultra-comfortable to carry whether you're heading to class, a shoot, or brunch.

Color options lean toward fashion-friendly tones that blend seamlessly with your OOTDs. With an understated polish that makes it feel more expensive than it is, this is not just a phone but a subtle accessory that integrates into your day-to-day aesthetic.

There's also a certain “future-is-now” look to it: minimalist lines, no gimmicks, just clean hardware that looks like it belongs in a 2025 tech capsule collection.

The real star is the 6.55-inch OLED display, packing 5000nits peak brightness, 460ppi sharpness, 1.07 billion colors, and a 120Hz refresh rate. Backed by AI Super-Dynamic and AI Vivid Display tech with Netflix and Amazon HDR certification, this screen makes everything look cinematic. Under intense sunlight or during night scrolls, the visuals stay clear, contrasty, and punchy. Every swipe feels ultra-smooth, every filter pops, and every pixel feels intentional.
