With its push towards next-generation AI imaging, the Honor 400 Pro sells itself as a mid-range mobile phone with a high-end photography experience, providing cutting-edge AI integration with its impressive flagship camera setup, but how does it fare when it comes to gaming?
Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and an Adreno 750 GPU with 12GB of RAM, the Honor 400 Pro packs its impressive hardware into its 8.1 mm-thin chassis, supplemented by a 6.7-inch 1.5K 120Hz AMOLED display (1224 x 2700 pixels) with 5,000 nits HDR peak brightness for a smooth and vibrant viewing experience. Apart from its triple camera setup comprising a 200MP Super Sensing main camera, a 12MP ultra-wide and macro camera, and a 50MP AI telephoto camera, the Honor 400 Pro also comes with a suite of AI capabilities to establish itself as the phone of the future.
Despite its apparent focus on photography, the Honor 400 Pro proved a capable mobile gaming beast in its own right, breezing through the gaming gauntlet of Wuthering Waves, Zenless Zone Zero, Genshin Impact and PUBG Mobile with hardly any hitches, which were mostly limited to some jarring visual glitches when playing games like Genshin Impact using the built-in FPS booster, or minor framerate issues in more demanding titles.
Check out the performance of the Honor 400 Pro in the video above, spanning benchmarking indicators, starting and ending temperatures, and more. The Honor 400 Pro retails at S$899, with its base model priced at S$599. Both phones are now available for pre-order on the Honor website until 29 May, and will be available for purchase in Singapore starting on 30 May 2025.
