Honor 400 Pro 5G : Honor stormed back into the spotlight with the 400 Pro 5G, unveiled in May 2025 as a beastly mid-ranger packing Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 muscle, a 200MP AI camera trio and a monstrous 7200mAh silicon-carbon battery that laughs at daily charging routines.
Priced around $420 globally (Rs 35,000-45,000 in India whispers), it targets power users craving flagship thrills without the Rs 70k+ premium, already racking up buzz in China and Europe for its IP69 toughness and 5000-nit glare-proof screen.
Rugged Chassis Built Like a Tank
At 156.3 x 74.7 x 7.8mm and 204g, the Honor 400 Pro feels premium with its aluminum frame sandwiching aluminosilicate glass that shrugs off 1.5m drops and high-pressure jets—IP68/IP69 rating means pool dips or monsoon drenchings won’t faze it.
The flat-edged design echoes iPhones but adds a grippy matte back in Black, Silver, Blue or Pink that hides smudges like a pro.
