The Honor 400 Lite is the budget model in Honor's 400 series, keeping the family's bright AMOLED screen and long software support while dropping to a 108MP single-focus camera and a mid-tier chipset. It ships on Android 15 with a commitment to up to six major Android upgrades, unusually generous at this price.
400 Lite: Display
The 6.7-inch AMOLED runs at 120Hz with a 1080 x 2412 resolution, 3840Hz PWM dimming and a quoted 3,500-nit peak for HDR content, a screen specification that comfortably beats the LCD panels most rivals fit at this level.
Protection is quoted only as Mohs level 4 hardness with no branded toughened glass, so a screen protector is worth the small extra outlay.
400 Lite: Camera
The 108MP main camera should produce detailed daylight shots through pixel binning, backed by a 16MP selfie camera.
The secondary rear lens is a 5MP ultrawide, a low-resolution unit best treated as occasional, and video on both cameras tops out at 1080p at 30fps with no 4K option, the clearest sign of the Lite positioning.
400 Lite: Battery
The 5,230mAh battery pairs with 35W wired charging and is rated at 48:56 hours of endurance on the EU energy label, so a full day of use with margin to spare looks realistic.
There is no wireless charging, and the EU label's 1,400-cycle rating, while decent, is worth noting given the six-year software horizon this phone is sold on.
400 Lite: Size, Weight and Build
At 161 x 74.6 x 7.3mm and 171g, the 400 Lite is among the slimmest and lightest phones in its class, in Marrs Green, Velvet Black and Velvet Grey.
Water protection is basic IP64 against splashes rather than the immersion-rated IP68 on the standard Honor 400, and there is no microSD slot to expand the fixed 256GB.
400 Lite: Performance
The Dimensity 7025 Ultra with up to 12GB of RAM handles everyday apps and light gaming, and the six-upgrade software window from Android 15 is the phone's standout, with years still to run.
This is entry-level 5G silicon, so demanding games will need reduced settings, and the USB-C port runs at USB 2.0 speeds.
400 Lite: Who Should Buy
Buy the 400 Lite if you want a bright AMOLED screen and a long update window at genuine budget money, and your camera needs stop at daylight stills. Buyers who can stretch further should look at the standard Honor 400, which adds a stabilised main camera, an autofocus ultrawide, 4K video and proper IP68 sealing. Buyers comparing upfront prices will find current deals in the table above.
