- Honor has referred to Samsung in a new promotional image to the Honor 400 series
- Honor 400 Pro is expected to compete with Samsung Galaxy A56
- The Honor 400 series will be announced on May 22
It’s always fun to see smartphone manufacturers taking playful jabs on each other, and the latest closure from Honor targets his long-standing rival Samsung.
In a promotional image announcing the 22nd May release date for the Honor 400 series, Honor has included a package of clues to excite fans about the phone’s most exciting features. Among these hidden points is a message that reads “not the same”, with ‘Sam’ that appears with fat blue letters – clearly a reference to Honer’s competitor.
This is the same font -In to be used to make fun of Samsung to the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s supposed lack of innovation back in January, so the brand clearly has a bee in its bonnet with Samsung, specifically. The honor 400 is expected to compete with intermediate Samsung Galaxy A56, so “not the same” could be a reference to the unique of Honer’s phone, or actually a direct JAB by the perceived recent uniformity of Samsung’s affordable smartphone lineup.

Of course, it’s Big Talk for a company of Honor’s size, but the brand’s confidence in its own product can be well -founded. In a separate teaser image (below), Honor has confirmed that both the Honor 400 and Honor 400 Pro will boast of a 200MP “Ultra-ready AI camera”, which sounds like more than a match for 50mp main camera on the Galaxy A56.
The Honor 400 Pro could also have a dedicated telecommunications lens, with rumors suggesting a 50MP sensor paired with Zoom-Galaxy A56, meanwhile, a 12MP ultra-covering lens and a 5MP macrolin.
We haven’t heard much about Honer’s next Mid-Rangers, but the aforementioned teaser image strongly suggests that one or both phones will contain a unique AI software and impressive water resistance.
On May 22, the release date for Honor 400 and Honor 400 Pro comes one month after the Honor 400 Lite shelves. We described that budget-friendly model as a “solid handset with some appealing features” in our honor 400 Lite Review, but Honor’s upcoming phones will get their work cut if they hope to compete with the Galaxy A56, which we praised for being an “impressive jack-of-all-trading” and one of the best cheap phones around.
