Honor has been on a steady rise after
the successful launch of the Honor 400
5G. Honor is now bringing the Pro model
to the Philippines. With its arrival,
can the Honor 400 Pro 5G be able to
compete? As of recording this one, we
have not yet received the official price
from them, but if we do, we will include
it in the comment section below.
However, given the improvements over the
previous model, I believe this should be
around 29,999
pesos or a bit more if we’re
guesstimating. The 12 gig plus 512 gig
model from last year cost around that
price. For its kind, the Honor 400 Pro
5G brings a flagship feel, powerful
internal, serious camera hardware, and
some clever AI tricks. But is it really
the flagship killer it wants to be? Sup
peeps, Earl here, Fugate Tech, and we
took the Honor 400 Pro 5G for a full
spin to find out. So, let’s get right
into it.
The first impression made with the Honor
100 Pro 5G is strong. It features a
prominent trapezoidal camera bump, a
frosted glass back, polished aluminium-l
like edges, and a triple rear setup. The
phone feels sturdy rather than hefty
because of its uniform weight
distribution, even though it weighs
roughly 205 g. The back panel’s smooth
surface elegantly softly captures light
while preventing fingerprint smudges. As
I previously stated, the Honor 400 Pro
felt upscale and had an appealing
profile when I first saw it. Qualities
you would expect from phone in this
price range. It can even survive
accidental water spills or short dips
thanks to its IP68 and 69 rating. The
Honor 400 Pro 5G is crash and drop
resistant because of its five-star SGS
certification as well. Professionals and
creatives alike will find the phone’s
three understated sophisticated colors,
title blue, midnight black, and lunar
gray, which we have here appealing. For
iOS, the power button and volume rocker
on the right side, while the other side
boasts a neat look. The speaker grill,
SIM tray slot, and USB type-C port are
at the bottom, while the other speaker
grill and IR blaster are on top. The
Honor 400 Pro 5G has a 6.7 in AMOLED
display that supports a refresh rate of
120 Hz and has a resolution of 2,800 by
1280. I enjoyed being able to move
fluidly and pass across several windows
without having to worry about
stuttering. Its maximum brightness,
which peaks an astounding 5,000 in
nature content, is what really sticks
out, though. Visibility is not an issue
whether browsing Instagram on a sunny
day, watching vlogs outside, streaming
music videos, or watching Netflix.
Although some users may find the reds a
bit too intense, the colors are vibrant
and the contrast is strong. We also
admire how the small bezels enhance the
viewing experience by making it easier
for users to appreciate the display’s
color fidelity and immersion. In terms
of audio, I had a pleasant experience
with this Pro version. Even though the
Honor 400 model lacks some punch and
loudness, the entire multimedia quality
experience was adequately enhanced by
the dual stereo speakers, it deliver
great soundstaged quality. I care
features including dynamic color
temperature changes and blue light
filter are integrated because of the
fast refresh rates. Scrolling and
animations feel fluid and the touch
responsiveness is buttery. The Honor 400
Pro 5G is Firebase Snapdragon 8 Gen3
processor, 12 gig of RAM plus another 12
gig RAM expansion and up to 512 gig of
internal storage. This phone can handle
everything you throw at it in the real
world. Mobile games like Mobile Legends
played on this guy so smoothly. Even
demanding games like Genchin Impact,
Watering Waves, and Zenless Zone Zero
run well on high settings. Apps load
quickly and multitasking is smooth. Like
I haven’t experienced any serious frame
drops on all the games I’ve played with
this phone. The cooling system helps to
control thermals as well. The phone was
warm but never uncomfortable after 30
minutes of gaming. It’s still manageable
and nothing to be concerned about. As
for the benchmarks, it scores over 1.8
million on 22 and have max out 3D Mark
life test. What a beast this thing is.
And for those interested in the numbers,
it’s appearing on your screen now.

The software experience is a mixed bag.
Running Magic OS 9.0 on top of Android
15. On the One Note, you get a ton of
features, customization, and AI assisted
tools like magic portal and image to
video conversion tools like we’ve
experienced on the Honor 400. On the
other hand, it’s not exactly bloat free,
and there are a lot of pre-installed
apps, some of which are useful and some
aren’t. The AI features you can enjoy on
the Honor 400 Pro include the AI magic
portal, live translation, AI writing
tool, and AID fake detection. This
feature amazes me, especially at this
time when many users are vulnerable to
online scams and frauds. The Honor 400
Pro shields us from potential traps from
these cyber criminals. UI is
customizable, but you’ll see a
difference with a base model. The Honor
400 5G was appealing in terms of
personalization and easy to decorate to
your liking. Still, Honor promises four
years of major Android updates and 6
years of security patches, which is
great long-term support for a device in
this price range. This is where the
Honor 400 Pro 5G flexes hard. The camera
system includes a 200 megapixel main
sensor, 50 megap telephoto lens, 12
megap ultrawide with autofocus, and a 50
megapixel front camera with dedicated
depth sensor. The 200 megapixel sensor
produces great daylight photos with
natural looking colors, strong dynamic
range, and extreme sharpness. While it
doesn’t oversaturate, the AI scene
detection aids in adjusting. Impressive
low light photos are also possible,
particularly when night mode is on. Even
moderate light, the telephoto and
digital zoom work well. The ultra wide
is good, but its dynamic range is a
little bit off, particularly in low
light. Selfies include good edge
recognition for portrait blur and are
attractive and detailed. All lenses let
you shoot in 4K at 60 frames per second.
Although certain users may not be able
to take selfies or ultra wide videos at
60 frames per second, the maximum frame
rate is 30. OIS and EIS provide
respectable stabilization and even in
noisy settings, the audio pickup is
clear. While exposure tends to change
slightly while switching between lenses,
colors remain constant. Overall, the
video performance is good. It can
produce excellent results if you enjoy
vlogging or creating cinematic video. If
you’re wondering about the capability of
its lenses, you can check them out here.

The Honor 400 Pro 5G packs a 6,000 mAh
battery with support for 100 W charging.
Even when heavy usage, socials, gaming,
camera use, and streaming, it lasts more
than a full day. Moderate use stretches
to almost 2 days. Charging is equally
impressive. 100 watts wired charging
gets you from 0 to 50% in just 20 to 30
minutes, and 50 watts wireless charging
is supported, too. This is flagship plus
charging and Honor includes a charger in
the box unlike from other brands such as
Apple and Samsung. I was particularly
pleased with the Honor 400 Pro 5G’s
battery life after using it for 2 weeks
because it truly lasted. The Honor 400
Pro’s battery test in PC Mark showed
that it could pump 17 hours and 45
minutes. For such a phone, this is a
good number. It has excellent
connectivity via Bluetooth 5.4, 5G, 4G
LTE, and Wi-Fi 7. The Honor 400 Pro 5G
is the kind of phone that doesn’t try
too hard to impress because it doesn’t
need to. With a stunning display, strong
internal parts, competent cameras, and
long-lasting battery life, it suddenly
flexes all the right muscles. It feels
like you’re getting flagship level
performance for its price without
breaking the bank. Performance is
excellent to start. The equipment
frequently perspires and performs daily
tasks without difficulty when under
pressure. The Honor 400 Pro keeps
everything quick and fluid. Whether
you’re multitasking, gaming, or
switching between apps, even casual
users will enjoy how easily it works.
Then there’s the display, which is truly
eye-catching. Honor gave the 400 Pro a
bright, sharp, and vivid AMOLED screen
that is a pleasure to use whether you’re
editing images, browsing Tik Tok, or
watching YouTube. It is more than
capable in terms of cameras. In the
majority of situation, you receive
vibrant colors, strong dynamic range,
and excellent detail. It also performs
remarkably well in low light. Battery
life is another major win. The Honor 400
Pro 5G delivers a full day of use
without drama, and the fast charging
gets you back in action quickly. Now,
let’s talk about the software. It’s
functional, fast, and packed with
features, but not entirely free from
bloat. There’s some room for improvement
in UI polish and user experience, but
nothing that seriously detracts from the
phone’s overall appeal. The Honor 400
Pro 5G is a mustave. It doesn’t just
blur the lines between mid-range and
flagship, it erases them. If you want
flagship power at a fraction of the
cost, this phone delivers in spades.
