On May 22, the Honor 400 and Honor 400 Pro models were introduced to the European market as part of the Honor 400 series. Honor has revealed that both smartphones would come with six years of Android updates prior to their much-anticipated release. The series will have artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities driven by the Veo 2 video generation model, allowing users to convert photos into brief videos as part of the company’s long-standing partnership with Google.
Honor claims that six years of Android OS updates will be included with its next smartphones, the Honor 400 and the Honor 400 Pro. The business highlights that its Honor Alpha Plan, a three-step strategy to establish an open artificial intelligence (AI) ecosystem, includes its long-standing partnership with Google and other industry partners.
Using Google’s Veo 2 video generating paradigm, it has also been proven that the Honor series supports AI picture to video generation on Vertex. Along with live photos, users will be able to turn static images, including artwork and old photos, into brief videos that last five to seven seconds. This feature, however, is anticipated to be introduced through an over-the-air (OTA) update and won’t be available right out of the box.
The China-based OEM claims to have been offering the Android 16 Beta program on the Honor Magic 7 Pro since May 7, with Google I/O 2025 being in the rearview mirror. To test out the new capabilities and migrate their apps to the future OS, developers can update their smartphones to Android 16 Beta 3.
It has been revealed that the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset powers the vanilla Honor 400. It will include two cameras on the back: a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens and a 200-megapixel primary camera. It also has an IP66-rated construction and a 50-megapixel selfie camera.
In the meantime, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC will power the Honor 400 Pro. A 200-megapixel primary camera, a 50-megapixel telephoto lens, and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide sensor make up its confirmed triple back camera set. For video chats and selfies, the phone will have a 50-megapixel front-facing camera. It will be shipped with an IP68 + IP69 rating to prevent water and dust intrusion.
