Frequently asked questions

Which processor does the Honor 400 Pro use?

It runs the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the 2024 flagship chip rather than the newer Snapdragon 8 Elite. It is still very fast, but a half-step behind the latest generation.

How long will the Honor 400 Pro receive updates?

Honor committed the 400 series to 6 major Android OS upgrades and 6 years of security updates, which is among the best in the Android world and runs to roughly 2031.

Does the Honor 400 Pro have a telephoto camera?

Yes. Alongside its 200MP main sensor it has a dedicated 50MP 3x telephoto, plus a 12MP ultra-wide, giving it genuine optical zoom rather than just a crop from the main camera.
