HONOR 400 Series Launches in Malaysia with Industry-Leading AI Image-to-Video Technology Powered by Google Cloud AI. Global technology brand HONOR has officially announced the launch of its latest smartphone line, the HONOR 400 Series, in Malaysia, scheduled for 22 May 2025. Since its local preview last week, the series has generated buzz on social media, especially for its groundbreaking Next-Gen AI Imaging features. At the heart of this innovation is the industry’s first AI Image-to-Video technology built in collaboration with Google Cloud AI. This new feature enables users to effortlessly create engaging short videos from still images—be it real-life photos, old family portraits, or even artwork—directly from their photo gallery without the need for third-party apps. It’s a leap forward in mobile creativity, offering users both convenience and emotional resonance.
The HONOR 400 Series combines this advanced AI capability with powerful camera hardware, aiming to be the top AI camera phone in its segment. Both the HONOR 400 and 400 Pro models feature a 200MP main camera with a large 1/1.4-inch super sensor, delivering exceptional clarity and low-light performance. Optical and electronic image stabilization (OIS and EIS) further enhance the image quality. The 12MP Macro and Wide camera captures expansive scenes, while the 50MP AI Telephoto Camera—exclusive to the HONOR 400 Pro—offers up to 50x digital zoom. On the front, users can enjoy a 50MP Portrait Selfie Camera that delivers studio-quality results.

A standout feature, AI Image to Video, lets users animate static photos into five-second moving visuals, breathing new life into memories. HONOR demonstrated the emotional power of this feature through two heartfelt Mother’s Day videos. One tells the story of a daughter who used the HONOR 400 Pro to animate a childhood photo of her late mother, allowing her to see her mother’s smile once again. Another captures a father comforting his daughter by animating a treasured image of her with her deceased grandmother. These deeply personal moments highlight how HONOR’s AI not only enhances photography but also creates meaningful new ways to connect with the past.
Beyond image animation, the HONOR 400 Series introduces a suite of AI editing tools designed to elevate the mobile photography experience. AI Eraser 2.0 removes unwanted people and reflections from photos with precision. AI Cutout enables users to separate subjects from backgrounds, offering creative freedom to modify or replace scenery. AI Outpainting extends photo borders naturally, making it perfect for enhancing scenic shots or re-framing cropped images. With AI Upscale, even low-resolution or blurry images can be restored with clarity and detail. For fun, social sharing, the Moving Photo Collage feature allows the combination of multiple Live Photos into dynamic, customizable storyboards. Meanwhile, Harcourt Studio 2.0 brings studio-level portrait photography to the palm of your hand, simulating optical blur and offering six artistic film-style filters for a refined finish.

The official launch of the HONOR 400 Series will be livestreamed on 22 May 2025 at 3PM via HONOR Malaysia’s official Facebook page. For more information, visit www.honor.com/my.
