The HONOR 400 and HONOR 400 Pro have landed in South Africa, and they’re redefining what a smartphone can do for Mzansi’s creators, dreamers, and doers. Launched at the iconic Kyalami Racecourse, these devices bring flagship-level AI photography and innovative features to more people, cementing HONOR’s No. 2 market share in South Africa with sights set on No. 1 by 2028. From creators to developers to the Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies, Solly Malatsi, the launch event showcased the powerful intersection of AI, mobile tech, and digital innovation.
AI-First Features for Next-Level Creativity
The HONOR 400 Series isn’t just about specs—it’s about empowering users to capture and create like never before. Leading the charge is the industry-first 50x telephoto zoom powered by AI SuperZoom, which sharpens distant details without the need for bulky lenses. Whether you’re framing a distant Jozi skyline or a serene savanna sunset, this camera delivers clarity that feels almost cinematic.
But that’s just the start. The HONOR 400 and 400 Pro introduce Google Cloud’s Veo 2-powered Image-to-Video tool, transforming still photos into dynamic video clips in seconds. That cherished photo of your Gogo from the 1970s? Now it can move, bringing memories to life. Other standout features include:
- AI Erase Passers-by: Automatically removes unwanted pedestrians from your shots, keeping your focus on what matters.
- AI Deepfake Detection: A first for this price tier, this tool identifies deepfake technology in video calls, adding a layer of security to your digital interactions.
- Stunning Display & Power: A 6.7-inch OLED display with 5000nits peak brightness paired with a 6000mAh silicon-carbon battery ensures vibrant visuals and all-day performance. Plus, with 12GB RAM and 512GB storage, there’s space for all your creations.
Unbeatable Value for Mzansi
Starting at R12,999 for the HONOR 400 and R17,999 for the HONOR 400 Pro, these devices are available at Vodacom, MTN, Telkom, and Cell C. Until 31 July 2025, every purchase comes with R8000 in added value, including the HONOR Watch 2i, HONOR Choice Earbuds X7 Lite, and an HONOR Choice Powerbank 10000mAh.
