Smartphones stopped being just phones long ago. Now they’re no longer just gadgets, either.

Once upon a time, artificial intelligence in your phone was more of a bonus feature. Maybe it could recognize a cat, maybe it would suggest a filter. That was about it. The idea that AI could actually do the work for you — clean up your photos, bring memories to life, turn selfies into cinematic frames — just didn’t exist in the mid-range segment.

And that’s where the magic of the HONOR 400 comes in. Because here’s a phone that doesn’t cost as much as a used car — but still does things that, until recently, were reserved for flagships and professional editing suites. This isn’t just tech progress. This is what happens when innovation stops being exclusive and starts becoming part of everyday life.

A camera that doesn’t just shoot — it thinks with you

Photography is usually about capturing a moment. But for the HONOR 400, that moment becomes a canvas. It’s something to improve, enhance, even breathe new life into. And the beauty of it is: you’re not the one doing the work — the neural networks inside are.

You open the camera, and it just works. Not in a “tap to focus” kind of way. It analyzes. Adjusts. Suggests. With a massive 200MP sensor, AI dynamically finds the best light, focus, and contrast. It feels less like you’re holding a camera — and more like a personal photo assistant whispering: “No, no — trust me, this angle’s better.”

And the 50MP front camera? It’s not just flattering — it’s clever. It seems to say, “Relax, I’ve got this.” And you do. Because you check the image afterward and realize… you look better than in the mirror. Want that vintage black-and-white photo studio vibe? Switch to Harcourt mode. Going for that cinematic mood? Film Simulation has your back.

And you didn’t use Photoshop. You didn’t open Lightroom. You didn’t call your “friend who edits stuff well.” You just shot the photo — and it came out stunning.

Photo editing now takes a tap, not a whole evening

You know the situation: you take a great shot, but there’s someone’s elbow sticking out in the background. Or a random stranger in a neon pink coat. Or you blinked. Normally, you either shrug and keep it — or you brace yourself for an hour of editing.

HONOR 400 says: you don’t need to settle anymore.

• AI Eraser wipes out the unwanted stranger.
• AI Face Tune fixes your blink and opens your eyes.
• AI Outpainting expands the frame, seamlessly generating background details that weren’t even there.

No uploading to the cloud. No waiting on some server. No spinning wheel. It all happens right on your device, in a blink. And the best part? It actually works. No weird artifacts, no uncanny edits — just clean, confident results.

This isn’t Photoshop. It’s easier. It’s faster. It’s better.

From photos to video — no editing skills required

One of the most jaw-dropping features is AI Image to Video. Here’s how it works: you pick a few photos, and a few seconds later, they’re transformed into a dynamic, stylish short video. With transitions. With rhythm. With vibe.

This isn’t a “zoom and pan” slideshow. It’s the kind of mini-movie that looks like someone crafted it — maybe a TikTok or Reels editor with serious skills. But nope. It’s just your phone. Doing the whole thing for you.

And once you remember that this device costs around 369,000 KZT, it’s hard not to wonder how competitors are even keeping up.

No “Pro,” no “Max,” no overpriced hype — just power where it matters

Here’s what makes the HONOR 400 genuinely refreshing: there’s no catch. You don’t feel like you’re compromising. Quite the opposite — you catch yourself wondering: Why do people pay more again?

The AI features here are on par with premium models, yet you’re still comfortably within a mid-range price bracket. It’s not some watered-down demo of flagship tools — it’s the real deal. Just packaged in a way that doesn’t demand a second mortgage.

There’s no need to dive deep into menus or tweak confusing settings. The camera just works. The gallery suggests improvements. The AI doesn’t get in your way — it gets things done.

AI isn’t a feature anymore — it’s the backbone of a great phone

HONOR was the first brand in the world to debut MagicOS 9, an operating system that enables AI to run on-device, not in the cloud. That means it’s not just about photos and videos. File management, search, text input, even power optimization — it’s all quietly guided by intelligent algorithms. You don’t see it — but you feel it.

And then there’s Project Alpha — HONOR’s long-term vision. It’s not a slogan. It’s a roadmap for bringing AI into everyday life — making it as common and invisible as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. For students. For creatives. For parents. For everyday people who don’t care about “tech” — but do care about what makes life easier.

And HONOR 400? It’s not just a phone that promises this future. It’s already living it.

All of this — for just 369,000 KZT

Sounds like a fairytale, right? But it’s not. It’s a phone you can walk out and buy today. HONOR 400 proves that the days of tech being defined by its price tag are over. Today, you don’t pay for the badge. You pay for the experience — and this one overdelivers.

So if you’ve been curious what it’s like to live with true AI in your pocket — but never wanted to pay MacBook money for it — your moment has arrived. And it comes with a really beautiful screen.
