Honor 400 Pro scores higher on the OH Rank (67 vs 66), winning 3 of 10 categories including Battery and Selfie. Honor 400 Pro is 5.5mm wider than Sony Xperia 1 V. Honor 400 Pro is the more recent release, from May 23, 2025.
EDITORIAL: Honor improved it's midrange offering with a (last year top) flagship chip, a great screen, a 200MP main camera and a 6 year long support for OS updates. Both main and telephoto cameras produce great shots in all conditions. A 2nd (FOV) lense on the front makes up for lack of AF on a 50MP selfie and also delivers iPhone-like face unlock. What a shame that there is no video out from the very slow USB-C port.
EDITORIAL: The craftmeship and Japanese engineering shine her with great build, narrow 21:9 body that allows easy one-hand use and scrolling down long pages. A no notch, 4k, >640ppi (!) screen provides full-screen viewing of cinema content. Loud front facing speakers. IP68 water and dust resistance. Reliable cameras and great video recording. Dedicated two-step camera button. Tool-less SIM tray with fast SDmemory card option allows for swapping memory cards in seconds. headphone/microphone jack allows for using external microphones for your video footage.
Both phones here were scored by me, using the same ten categories, with no ads, sponsorships, or manufacturer relationships — this comparison is as objective and honest as it gets.
