HONOR 400 Lite Arrives in SA retail stores

Global smart device brand HONOR has officially launched the HONOR 400 Lite in South Africa, bringing a fresh blend of style, smart features, and powerful performance to everyday life. This new smartphone is designed for South Africans who love capturing memories, staying connected, and expressing their creativity—whether you’re snapping photos at a braai, taking in the Joburg skyline, or relaxing on Durban’s beaches.

The HONOR 400 Lite stands out with its dedicated AI Camera Button, making it effortless to launch your camera, snap a pic, or start recording—even when you’re in the middle of the action. Whether it’s your child’s first netball match or a spontaneous family moment, you’ll never miss a shot. Plus, the button activates Smart Vision powered by Google Lens, so you can scan and translate signs, identify local landmarks, or search for that must-have item you spotted in Sandton or Canal Walk.

Photography lovers will appreciate the 108MP main camera, which delivers vibrant colour, rich detail, and professional-looking results—even in low light. With three portrait modes (Environmental, Classic, and Close-up), you can adapt your shots to any setting, from golden hour selfies in Camps Bay to creative portraits in Soweto.

AI Motion Sensing Capture uses real-time scene detection and a high-speed shutter to freeze fast-moving subjects—perfect for action shots at sports matches or playful moments with your pets. Moving Photos let you capture a burst of life in every frame, recording the moments before and after the shutter click. Built-in AI editing tools like AI Eraser and AI Outpainting make it easy to perfect your photos and expand your creativity.

The 6.7-inch AMOLED display is built for South African sunshine, boasting an ultra-bright 3500nits peak brightness. Whether you’re taking selfies at Clifton Beach or video calling in the garden, your screen stays sharp and vibrant. With a 120Hz refresh rate and rich colour profile, everything looks smooth and lifelike, while features like eye-friendly dimming and Circadian Night Display help reduce eye strain during long social sessions.

Running on MagicOS 9.0 (based on Android 15), the HONOR 400 Lite introduces smart features like Magic Portal for intuitive app switching, Magic Capsule for quick notifications, and AI Translator for real-time language conversion—perfect for Mzansi’s multilingual vibe.

Available now in Velvet Black and Marrs Green for R7999.00, the HONOR 400 Lite is ready to fit right into your lifestyle, keeping you connected, creative, and ahead of the curve.
