Honor 400 & 400 Pro Redefine Mobile Photography with AI SuperZoom
Discover how Honor’s latest smartphones transform everyday photos into cinematic masterpieces – featuring AI SuperZoom, AI Upscale, and more.
See South Africa like never before. That’s not just a slogan—it’s the lived experience behind Honor’s newest flagship smartphone release. On 18 June 2025, the Honor 400 and Honor 400 Pro were officially launched in South Africa at a vibrant event hosted at the Kyalami Racecourse in Midrand. Against a backdrop of speed and spectacle, tech enthusiasts and photographers alike got their first hands-on taste of what may be the most powerful Honor camera system yet.
A New Chapter in AI-Powered Photography
The standout innovation? AI SuperZoom. Far more than your average digital zoom, this AI-driven system allows you to get up close and personal—without the blur, without the noise, and without the need for editing apps or DSLR-grade hardware.
With 30x zoom on the Honor 400 and a jaw-dropping 50x zoom on the Honor 400 Pro, users can photograph Cape Town’s Table Mountain from Sea Point, or zoom in on Johannesburg’s skyline from the rooftops of Braamfontein. Even wildlife in Pilanesberg or Kruger is now in sharp, focused view from a safe distance.
Key Features That Make a Real Difference
Let’s break down the 7 reasons why the Honor 400 series is more than just a smartphone—it’s a creative companion made for the streets, skylines and stories of Mzansi.
1. Cinematographer-Level Zoom
Capture life like a filmmaker. Whether you’re snapping a Long Street saxophonist from across the street or zooming into a try being scored at Ellis Park, the Honor 400 makes every detail pop.
2. Discover Hidden Details
That faded mural in Maboneng? The hilltop chapel outside Clarens? AI SuperZoom transforms the forgettable into the unforgettable by turning fine details into storytelling gold.
3. Be the One Who Always Gets the Shot
From school plays to stadiums, AI SuperZoom ensures that no moment is “too far” anymore. Even if you’re seated in the back row or at the edge of the action, you’re capturing the magic clearly.
4. Zoom Without Regret
Forget the days of grainy, disappointing zoom photos. With Honor’s AI-powered sharpness and lighting enhancements, every photo feels natural, sharp and deeply immersive.
5. Create Videos from Photos Instantly
Turn your stills into mini movies with AI Image to Video. Think Constitution Hill at golden hour or portraits shot in soft Jozi light—effortlessly stitched into short-form, social-media-ready clips.
6. Restore the Past with AI Upscale
Digitise and clean up vintage memories using AI Upscale. Whether it’s an old photo of your Gogo at the Union Buildings or faded family prints, Honor restores them in stunning clarity.
7. Edit-Free Photography with AI Erase
Goodbye, photobombers. Hello, clean compositions. With AI Erase Passers-by, your Honor 400 or 400 Pro cleans your photos in real-time, no cropping or afterthoughts needed.
