Honor unveiled its cutting-edge AI-powered photo-editing tools at Cloud Next 2025 last week. The collaboration, highlighted by Eric Fang, Senior Director of Product Planning at Honor, aims to enhance smartphone experiences with advanced imaging capabilities, aligning with Honor’s ALPHA PLAN to lead the global AI device ecosystem.

Ai-powered photo editing features

The partnership builds on features like Magic Portal 2.0, now expanding with Google’s Gemini large language models to deliver innovative features. A standout is AI Outpainting from Honor’s AiMAGE suite, powered by Google’s Imagen model. This feature lets users expand photos up to twice their original size. Not to mention, it allows seamless reframing or rotating of the image post-capture. Fang calls it “a game-changer,” as it lets users capture moments without thinking much about the framing. The optimized generative fill allows the user to modify the image to match their vision.

Another highlight is AI Eraser, which simplifies photo editing by removing unwanted objects with a few taps. Leveraging Google’s Imagen technology, it fills gaps with realistic, context-aware content, minimizing chances of artifacts in the image. As Fang notes, this makes editing effortless and reliable, enhancing user accessibility.

Honor’s commitment extends to affordability, with the recently launched Honor 400 Lite in Europe featuring AI Outpainting, AI Eraser, and AI Upscale. This move brings high-end imaging to budget devices, supported by Google Cloud’s robust infrastructure. Fang underscores that this collaboration pushes technological boundaries, creating a new AI-enhanced device standard and fulfilling the ALPHA PLAN’s vision announced in March.

By collaborating with Google, Honor aims to make these tools globally accessible, transforming how people perceive smartphone photography. This partnership not only elevates smartphone imaging but also sets a precedent for AI integration across Honor’s expanding product lineup.

The Honor 400 Lite can be seen sporting a pill-shaped cutout on its screen. On the back, it has a dual-camera setup and an LED flash positioned at the upper-left corner. The right edge of the phone features a volume rocker, a power key, and an iPhone-like camera button.

As per the listing, the Honor 400 Lite will feature a 6.7-inch display, support 5G connectivity, and come in an 8GB+256GB configuration. Like its predecessor, the device is expected to feature an OLED panel. Recently, the Honor 400 Lite was spotted in Google Play Console’s database, revealing the MediaTek Dimensity 7025 chipset and Android 15.

On the back, the device will sport a 108-megapixel primary camera. At present, there is no information available about its front camera, battery, and charging capabilities.

The post Honor 400 Lite renders leaked; Reveals iPhone-like camera button, three color variants appeared first on Gizmochina.

Honor is gearing up to expand its number-series lineup with the upcoming Honor 400 series. The spotlight is now on the Honor 400 Lite, which has recently appeared on the Google Play Console. Interestingly, the Honor 300 series didn’t offer a ‘Lite’ model. So, this device will succeed the Honor 200 Lite launched back in April last year.

The listing has revealed some key specifications and a glimpse of the phone’s design, giving us a hint at what to expect.

Key details revealed by the listing

The Honor 400 Lite listing (model number ABR-NX1) confirms that the device will be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7025 chipset, which features a CPU with two Cortex-A78 cores clocked at 2.2GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores running at 2GHz.

This chip has previously been featured in the Moto G55 and the Redmi Note 14, and it promises a balance between performance and power efficiency. Overall, it’s suitable for everyday tasks as well as lightweight games.

The configuration listed on Google Play Console packs 8GB of RAM, and we also expect a 12GB version as the Honor 200 Lite comes in both configurations. As for software, the 400 Lite will come with Android 15 out-of-the-box.

The Play Console listing also includes a render of the device, which looks very similar to the predecessor. From the pill-shaped cutout in the display to the bezels, the overall design language of the phone appears to be very similar to last year’s model. Nonetheless, this is still a render and the bezels could be slimmer than what’s depicted in the render.

Honor 200 Lite specs

While most of the specifications remain under wraps, we can refer to its predecessor to get an idea of what to expect. The Honor 200 Lite packs a 6.7″ FHD+ AMOLED display on the front and a triple camera setup on the back—108 MP main + 5 MP ultrawide + 2 MP macro camera. The pill-shaped cutout includes a 50MP selfie camera.

On the inside, the 200 Lite packs a relatively small 4,500mAh battery which supports 35W wired charging. With the recent trend of using the high-density Si/C battery, we expect at least a slight increase in capacity with the Honor 400 Lite.
