Honor 400 Lite

The Honor 400 Lite has a slim profile at 7.3 mm thick and weighs 171 g, with overall dimensions of 161 mm in height and 74.6 mm in width. It carries an IP64 rating, meaning it offers protection against dust and water splashes, though it is not rated for full water resistance submersion. The device does not feature a rugged build and cannot be folded, placing it firmly in the category of standard, flat-form smartphones.

The Honor 400 Lite features a 6.7″ OLED/AMOLED touchscreen with a resolution of 1080 x 2412 px and a pixel density of 394 ppi, delivering sharp and vibrant visuals. The panel runs at a 120Hz refresh rate and reaches a peak brightness of 3500 nits, while Always-On Display is supported for at-a-glance information without fully waking the screen. The display does not include branded damage-resistant glass and lacks support for HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision, and there is no secondary screen present on the device.

The Honor 400 Lite is built around the MediaTek Dimensity 7025, a 6 nm chipset with an octa-core CPU running at 2 x 2.5 GHz and 6 x 2 GHz, supported by 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM at 2750 MHz across 4 memory channels and a maximum memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The device ships with 256GB of internal storage and supports up to 16GB of RAM in total. Graphics are handled by the integrated IMG BXM-8-256 GPU clocked at 900 MHz, with support for DirectX 12, OpenCL 2, and 18 shading units. In benchmarks, it scores 465,629 on AnTuTu, 884 single-core and 2291 multi-core on Geekbench 6, and 690 single-core and 1890 multi-core on Geekbench 5. The chipset supports 64-bit processing, multithreading, big.LITTLE and HMP technologies, the NX bit for security, and includes integrated LTE, making it a self-contained solution for both computing and cellular connectivity.

The Honor 400 Lite features a dual-lens rear camera system led by a 108 MP primary sensor with an f/2.2 aperture, paired with a 2 MP secondary lens at f/1.8, both using a CMOS sensor without back-side illumination. The main camera supports phase-detection and touch autofocus, continuous autofocus during video, burst mode, slow-motion recording, timelapse, in-camera panoramas, and a built-in HDR mode, while manual controls cover exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance — though manual shutter speed, RAW capture, laser autofocus, and 360° panorama are not available. Video recording tops out at 1080p at 30 fps, with no support for HDR10 or Dolby Vision recording, and a single LED flash is present without dual-tone or RGB options. On the front, a 16 MP single-lens camera with an f/2.5 aperture handles selfies, positioned on the display frame rather than under the screen, and it does not include a front-facing flash.

The Honor 400 Lite runs Android 15 and includes a broad set of privacy controls, covering clipboard warnings, location privacy options, and camera and microphone access management, though Mail Privacy Protection and cross-site tracking blocking are not present. On the customization side, the software supports dark mode, dynamic theming, theme customization, home screen widgets, and customizable notifications, while focus modes and Quick Start are not available. Productivity features include split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, full-page scrolling screenshots, a media picker, sharing intents, Live Text for selecting text from images, and the ability to play games while they download. The system also supports on-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, voice commands, device tracking, multi-user accounts, a child lock, app offloading, and a battery health check, though it does not receive direct OS updates from the vendor and cannot be used as a PC.

The Honor 400 Lite is equipped with a 5230 mAh rechargeable battery that supports 35W fast charging, and a charger is included in the box. A battery level indicator is present for monitoring charge status. The battery is not removable and wireless charging is not supported.

The Honor 400 Lite has a notably limited audio feature set. It does not include a 3.5 mm headphone jack or stereo speakers, meaning wired headphone use requires an adapter and audio output is mono. On the wireless side, none of the high-quality Bluetooth audio codecs are supported — there is no aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, or LDAC — and the device also lacks a built-in radio.

The Honor 400 Lite supports 5G connectivity with a maximum download speed of 2770 MBits/s and accommodates two SIM cards. Wireless networking is handled via Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), while Bluetooth 5.3 and NFC are also on board. The device connects via a USB Type-C port running USB 2.0 and does not include an external memory slot or HDMI output. For navigation, it features GPS with Galileo support, a compass, and an accelerometer, though it lacks a gyroscope, barometer, and motion or optical tracking. Biometric security is covered by a fingerprint scanner, while 3D facial recognition and an iris scanner are not present. The device does not include a heart rate monitor, infrared sensor, ANT+ support, built-in projector, or stylus, and features such as crash detection, satellite SOS, and DLNA certification are also absent.

The Honor 400 Lite includes a video light for illumination during video recording. The display is flat rather than curved, and the device does not feature sapphire glass protection or an e-paper display.
