Honor 400 Specs & Price: Is It the Best Phone Under ₹40,000 in 2026

After the global success of the Honor 300 series, Indian tech lovers are eagerly waiting for the next big upgrade. While the Honor 400 has already appeared in some global markets (like Malaysia) in mid-2025, its official entry into India is still a hot topic of discussion.

Here is everything we know so far about the Honor 400, including its expected price in India, top features, and when you might finally be able to buy it.

Is the Honor 400 Launched in India?

As of late January 2026, Honor India has not officially launched the Honor 400 in the country.

However, reports suggest that the phone is making its way to the Indian market soon. Honor usually brings its Number Series (like the Honor 90 and Honor 200) to India a few months after the global release. Since the phone was unveiled globally in May 2025, experts believe an India launch could happen in Q1 2026 (January to March).

Honor 400: Key Features and Specifications

Based on the global model, the Honor 400 is a powerful mid-range “flagship killer.” It is designed to compete with phones like the OnePlus R-series and Vivo V-series.

1. Display and Design

The phone features a stunning 6.7-inch AMOLED display. It supports a 120Hz refresh rate, which makes scrolling and gaming very smooth. The screen is expected to be curved, giving it a premium look, and will have high brightness (up to 5000 nits peak) for clear visibility even under bright sunlight.

2. Camera: The 200MP Beast

The biggest selling point of the Honor 400 is its camera.

• Main Camera: A massive 200MP primary sensor with OIS (Optical Image Stabilization). This allows for incredibly detailed photos and great low-light performance.
• Selfie Camera: A high-quality 50MP front camera, perfect for vloggers and selfie lovers.
• It also includes an ultra-wide lens, likely 12MP or 50MP, for capturing wide landscapes.

3. Performance and Battery

• Processor: The global unit runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 (or possibly the upgraded 8s Gen 3 for India). This chip is powerful enough for heavy gaming (like BGMI/COD) and multitasking without heating up.
• Battery: It packs a large 5300mAh to 6000mAh battery (Silicon-Carbon technology), which is thinner but holds more power.
• Charging: It supports 100W fast charging, which can charge the phone from 0% to 100% in under 45 minutes. It also supports wireless charging (up to 66W), a rare feature in this price range.

4. Software

The phone will run on MagicOS 9, based on Android 15. It comes with Google apps pre-installed and offers a smooth, clean user interface.

Expected Price in India

In global markets like Malaysia, the Honor 400 was priced around RM 1,899, which converts to roughly ₹34,000.

For India, after adding taxes and duties, the expected price for the Honor 400 is:

• 8GB RAM + 256GB Storage: Approx. ₹37,999
• 12GB RAM + 512GB Storage: Approx. ₹42,999

If Honor launches it at this price, it will be a direct competitor to the OnePlus 13R and Realme GT series.

Why Should You Wait for Honor 400?

If you are confused between buying the older Honor 200/300 or waiting for the 400, here is why the new phone matters:

• Better Camera: The jump to a 200MP sensor is a major upgrade for photographers.
• Bigger Battery: The new Silicon-Carbon battery technology gives longer life without making the phone bulky.
• Wireless Charging: Very few phones under ₹40,000 offer fast wireless charging.

However, if you need a phone today, the Honor 300 is still an excellent choice with very similar performance.
