The HONOR 400 Lite Torch Has Been Passed

 

The HONOR 200 Lite didn’t just win on price — it won South Africans over by delivering exactly what mattered. Topping post-paid smartphone sales across all brackets in 2024, it proved that Mzansi chooses quality over hype. We pick what truly holds up.

Now, the HONOR 400 Lite takes the lead with real upgrades in battery life, camera performance, everyday usability, and sleek styling — all packed into a slim, elegant design that feels almost unfairly light. It’s already proving it can keep up with the energy, ambition, and diversity of South African life.

Imagine the HONOR 400 Lite powering a full day in the lives of five very different people, each with their own pace and demands:

• 6:00 AM – The Early Starter: A personal trainer grabs the phone on the way to the gym. Weighing just 171g and glove-friendly, it’s perfect for quick sunrise snaps shared on social before the first client arrives, thanks to the handy AI Camera Button.
• 9:00 AM – The Hustler on Campus: A student uses Google Lens to scan their timetable. The 6.7-inch AMOLED display stays bright and clear under harsh morning sun with 3,500 nits of peak brightness — perfect for outdoor study and admin.
• 1:00 PM – The Creative in Motion: A small business owner switches effortlessly between design apps, messages, and delivery tracking. Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7025-Ultra processor and up to 14G RAM with HONOR RAM Turbo, there’s no lag to slow down the hustle.
• 4:00 PM – The Family Navigator: A nurse turned road trip driver heads north with Maps running all the way. The 5,230mAh battery still has over 40% charge left — no low-battery stress, just smooth sailing.
• 11:30 PM – The Night Owl: A teacher unwinds by scrolling messages and listening to a podcast. The Circadian Night Display softens the screen light, easing tired eyes — and there’s still no need to charge.

Fred Zhou, CEO of HONOR South Africa, says: “The HONOR 400 Lite builds on the trust we earned with the HONOR 200 Lite. We know every device must meet the evolving needs of South African lifestyles. Our mission is to stay connected to the hearts and minds of Mzansi by delivering tech that’s ready for whatever your day demands — whether you’re on the move, creating, connecting, or simply living fully.”

Available in stylish Marrs Green and Velvet Black, the HONOR 400 Lite is designed to move with you, stay charged, and look the part — perfect for people, not just profiles. It’s a phone that goes the distance, quietly and confidently.
