Honor 400 Pro and 400 with AI lands in SA

Honor South Africa launched its new mid-range volume seller smartphones, the Honor 400 Pro and 400 to the local market at a glitzy event at the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit in Johannesburg.

In attendance was Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies, Solly Malatsi, who was among the first to test the device, alongside developers and creators, said the Chinese smartphone maker.

The new Honor 400 Pro and 400 are the first smartphones in South Africa to debut Google’s new Veo2 AI Image to Video model, which lets users turn a still image into a short video of a few seconds.

The Honor 400 Pro features a 50MP telephoto zoom lens that uses AI to sharpen distant details without the bulky lens, says Honor. Both devices also feature AI Deepfake Detection which detects if the caller is using deepfake technology in a video call.

Here’s what both models offer, side by side:
