Honor 400 review: A 200 MP main and AI image-to-video on a sub-$450 number-series phone.
A 200 MP camera and a six-year promise.
Honor 400 leads on two fronts rare at $449 — a 200 MP main that crops to a usable 3×, and a six-OS-update commitment that beats every rival in its price band. The Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 is the give-back. For photo-first buyers who keep phones a long time, it is a standout.
