DUBAI: HONOR, the global intelligent device brand, has officially introduced its highly anticipated HONOR 400 Series in the Middle East and Africa at an immersive launch event in Dubai.
Held under the theme “HONOR AI Wonderverse,” the occasion highlighted the brand’s commitment to merging cutting-edge AI with cultural artistry.
Guests were treated to a futuristic experience that seamlessly blended Arabic aesthetics with technological advancement, engaging attendees with multiple interactive zones to explore the capabilities of HONOR’s latest AI Creative Editor.
With the launch of the HONOR 400 and HONOR 400 Pro, the brand aims to redefine mobile creativity, intelligence, and user experience. Both models are now open for pre-orders across major retailers in the UAE, with exclusive complimentary gifts adding extra value to early purchases.
AI photography revolution
The cornerstone of the HONOR 400 Series lies in its 200MP Ultra-Clear AI Camera System, a major leap forward in smartphone photography. Built on the HONOR Image Engine and enhanced with AI Super Zoom, the devices offer up to 50x zoom capability on the HONOR 400 Pro and 30x on the standard HONOR 400. These features empower users to capture distant details – from soaring birds to architectural landmarks – with remarkable clarity.
Designed for dynamic portraiture, the AI Portrait Snap ensures subjects stay in sharp focus even in motion, with a naturally blurred background that elevates the image quality. Whether shooting wide landscapes or close-up portraits, users can expect consistently professional results.
Creative editing tools
A standout innovation in the 400 Series is the AI Creative Editor, a suite of advanced tools enabling users to turn static imagery into cinematic content. Among its key features is AI Image to Video, which converts a still image into a five-second video within just one minute. Available in 16:9 or 9:16 formats, this function revitalises memories in both MP4 and Moving Photo versions.
One of the most talked-about tools is AI Erase Passers-by, which intelligently removes unwanted background figures with a single tap, seamlessly reconstructing the surrounding environment to spotlight the subject. This proves particularly useful in busy tourist settings or crowded streets.
The AI Upscale feature revitalises old or low-resolution images by enhancing sharpness and clarity. Further tools include AI Eyes Open, AI Remove Reflection, AI Cutout, Moving Photo Collage, and AI Outpainting, giving users complete control over creative output. These AI-powered solutions allow for unprecedented customisation and artistic flexibility without the need for professional software.
Smart, seamless UX
Running on the latest MagicOS 9.0, based on Android 15, the HONOR 400 Series offers a highly personalised and intuitive user interface. One of its headline features is AI Subtitles, which provides real-time speech-to-text conversion – ideal for watching foreign content or transcribing recordings.
HONOR Connect facilitates effortless data syncing across platforms, supporting transfers between Android and iOS. Meanwhile, AI Translation supports real-time and face-to-face multilingual communication, eliminating language barriers in personal and professional interactions.
Additional enhancements include AI Magic Portal 2.0 for intuitive cross-app operations, and AI Deepfake Detection, reinforcing device security. These smart tools, combined with a responsive interface, deliver a premium experience designed for daily productivity and creativity.
Strong specs, stylish design
HONOR has ensured that the 400 Series isn’t just smart – it’s built for performance. The phones are powered by a 6000mAh battery, while the HONOR 400 Pro benefits from 100W HONOR SuperCharge technology, significantly reducing downtime between charges.
Durability also stands out, with the standard model offering dust and water resistance, and the Pro version boasting IP68 and IP69 certification – providing superior protection against environmental factors. These features make the devices resilient companions for any lifestyle.
In terms of aesthetics, the HONOR 400 draws inspiration from nature and is available in Midnight Black, Meteor Silver, and Desert Gold. The HONOR 400 Pro is offered in Midnight Black, Lunar Grey, and Tidal Blue, each crafted to reflect elegance and modernity.
Pre-order benefits and availability
The HONOR 400 is priced from Dh1399, with pre-order customers receiving free gifts worth Dh897, including Earbuds S7, a Louvre Abu Dhabi-themed phone case, 12-month accidental damage protection, and GCC joint warranty coverage.
