This new mid-range phone will debut with AI feature Google hasn't even given Pixel users

The way it works is simple: upload any static image – real-life, AI-generated, a drawing, even an old memory – and the tool spits out a short video clip in portrait or landscape.

It takes a minute or two per video, but the results could be fun, especially for anyone active on social media. Sure, it is not an essential feature, but if you are posting a lot or love creative tools, this might be your thing.

And that is apparently just the start. Honor says more AI-powered tools are coming with the new phones and it is confident enough to call the Honor 400 series one of the top AI camera phones in its class.

We are expecting two models: the Honor 400 and 400 Pro. The base model could land with a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip, a 6.55-inch AMOLED display at 120 Hz and a 200 MP rear camera.

The Pro steps things up with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, 6.7-inch screen (also 120 Hz) and the same 200 MP camera but with OIS. Both phones are rumored to include a 5,300 mAh battery with the Pro variant possibly supporting 100 W wired fast charging.

As for pricing, it looks like the Honor 400 will start at €499 (around $560 when directly converted), with the Pro model going for €799 (around $900 when directly converted). The series is expected to launch in the UK and other regions, including Europe, China and possibly India. Still no word on a US launch, though.

Considering the camera setup, the added AI tools and the rumored specs, the Honor 400 might end up being a strong mid-range option. It could be a solid rival to phones like the Galaxy S24 FE, Pixel 9a and OnePlus 13R – but for mobile photography fans, it might even be the better choice.
