Stunning Photos with the Main Camera

The 200MP main sensor stands out as the phone’s biggest strength. With a large 1/1.4-inch sensor and fast f/1.9 aperture, it captures vibrant, detailed images in a range of lighting conditions. Optical image stabilisation (OIS) keeps photos sharp, while Auto HDR enhances contrast and colour balance.

For those who enjoy fine-tuning their shots, the Pro Mode allows you to manually adjust ISO, shutter speed, and exposure. Motion Sensing Capture also helps in taking crisp photos of moving subjects, such as pets or people in action.

Excellent Performance in Low Light

Night Mode on the Honor 400 Pro is particularly impressive. It controls noise effectively and keeps colours accurate, even in dim lighting. The result is detailed, well-exposed images that retain their natural look, making it ideal for city streets and evening events.

Ultra-Wide and Macro Shots with Detail

The 12MP ultra-wide lens is perfect for landscapes, architecture, and creative compositions. During the Glastonbury trip, the ultra-wide camera performed well, capturing sweeping views of the countryside with clarity and depth.

It also works effectively as a macro camera. The Super Macro mode combines both the wide-angle and ultra-wide sensors to produce detailed close-ups of objects, flowers, and textures.

The ‘Zooming Beast’, Honor 400 Pro Telephoto Lens

The Honor 400 Pro lives up to its nickname as a “zooming beast.” Its 50MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom delivers excellent clarity and detail, even from a distance. Thanks to the Sony IMX856 sensor and OIS, zoom shots remain sharp and stable.

For even greater reach, the AI Super Zoom feature allows up to 50x digital zoom. The built-in AI enhancement helps maintain image quality at extreme zoom levels, and users can preview before-and-after effects directly in the Gallery.

Powerful Portrait Capabilities

Portrait photography is another area where the Honor 400 Pro shines. The AI Enhanced Portrait Mode captures lifelike facial details, while Honor’s exclusive Harcourt Portrait Modes replicate the classic style of Paris’s famous Harcourt Studio.

With options like Harcourt Vibrant, Colour, and Classic (black and white), users can easily apply cinematic looks without needing external editing apps. Smart Focus and a virtual shutter button also make it easier to shoot spontaneous street portraits.

AI Editing Tools That Simplify Photography

Unlike other phones where AI feels unnecessary or excessive, the Honor 400 Pro offers genuinely useful tools that enhance photos without over-editing them.

• AI Cutout: Instantly removes the background from subjects and lets users replace it with a solid colour or transparency, great for creative photo edits or posters.
  
• AI Outpainting: Extends the borders of an image naturally, perfect for fixing tight crops or expanding scenery.
  
• Image to Video: Converts still photos into short five-second videos, adding subtle motion effects for a creative touch.
  

These AI tools are quick to use, intuitive, and save photographers a lot of time compared to editing on professional software.

Smooth and Sharp 4K Video Performance

The Honor 400 Pro is not just a photo powerhouse, it also performs impressively with video. It records up to 4K at 60fps on the rear cameras and 4K at 30fps on the front, ensuring smooth, cinematic results.

AI-based video enhancement tools subtly improve quality without creating an artificial look. Filmmakers will appreciate the available slow-motion and night video modes, which make the phone suitable for creative video production.

The Honor 400 Pro stands out as one of the best mid-range smartphones for photography and videography in 2025. Its combination of high-resolution sensors, excellent zoom capability, and intelligent AI editing tools delivers professional-quality results without requiring expensive software or technical expertise.

At £499.99, it’s a smartphone that truly offers premium performance at a competitive price. Whether you’re capturing scenic landscapes, portraits, or fast-moving subjects, the Honor 400 Pro provides reliable results every time.
