HONOR has unveiled the HONOR 400 Smart, a new smartphone designed to appeal to price-conscious users in the entry-level segment. With powerful hardware, an innovative AI button and an extremely long-lasting battery, the device combines durability with modern functions. At the same time, HONOR is setting new standards in the budget segment in terms of robustness and user experience.
- 6,500 mAh dual-cell battery with 35W fast charging
- SGS-certified 5-star drop resistance up to 1.80 meters
- Snapdragon 685 with enhanced GPU performance and 12 GB RAM Turbo
- Price: available from 179.90 euros in Velvet Black and Desert Gold
A new level of durability and suitability for everyday use
The HONOR 400 Smart was conceived with a particularly robust design in mind. With SGS-certified drop resistance, it has a protection class that can withstand drops from up to 1.80 meters without damage.
In addition, there is IP54 protection against splash water and the so-called Wet-hand Touch Enhancement function, which allows the smartphone to be operated reliably even with wet or greasy hands. The device is therefore primarily aimed at users who need a robust smartphone that is also suitable for everyday use and remains ready for use even under adverse conditions. Especially in combination with its price range, HONOR provides a strong argument for more durability in budget devices.
Battery for extreme operating conditions
A key highlight of the HONOR 400 Smart is the 6,500 mAh dual-cell battery – one of the most powerful in its class. The special design extends the service life and enables faster charging without placing a heavy load on the battery. With 35W HONOR SuperCharge, the device is quickly ready for use again, even when used intensively.
Thanks to multi-point temperature monitoring, the performance of the battery remains stable even at extreme temperatures from -20 °C to 55 °C. Whether in the freezing cold or in hot environments: the endurance is one of the biggest plus points of this smartphone. For users who don’t want to constantly worry about the nearest power socket, this battery offers decisive added value.
AI button for smart interaction
The HONOR 400 Smart is the first smartphone in its class to integrate an instant AI button for significantly more personalized interaction. Simple commands can be used to open preferred apps or optimize processes, for example by closing background tabs to increase computing power. A long press on the button activates AI-supported functions such as translations or content creation. This is supported by HONOR’s MagicOS 9.0 based on Android 15, which provides an enhanced user experience with features such as Magic Capsule, Magic Portal, Circle to Search and the Google Gemini Assistant. This combination clearly sets the device apart from its competitors in the budget segment and creates new interaction options that were previously reserved for higher classes.
Hardware and performance at a glance
Under the hood is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 685, which ensures smooth everyday use and solid graphics performance. According to HONOR, GPU performance has been improved by 84% compared to the previous generation – a real advantage for games and graphics-intensive applications. The processor is supported by HONOR’s RAM Turbo technology, which effectively provides 12 GB of total memory with 6 GB of physical and 6 GB of virtual RAM. Together with up to 128 GB of internal memory, there is enough space for apps, photos and videos. These features ensure smooth multitasking and make the HONOR 400 Smart one of the most interesting devices in its price class.
Conclusion
With the HONOR 400 Smart, the manufacturer is launching an entry-level smartphone on the market that surprises with its robustness, powerful features and innovative AI functions. The combination of a large battery, SGS-certified drop resistance and smart interaction in particular sets it apart from many competitor models. It is now available in the colors Velvet Black and Desert Gold at a price of 179.90 euros – an attractive package for anyone looking for a reliable smartphone with a long battery life without having to dig deep into their pockets.
