Response to our innovative 'AI Camera Button' reveals that it's a huge hit with Android users who seek to elevate their photography skills. This really is an exciting time to discover our industry-leading HONOR AI smartphones as we expand from being a trusted Android smartphone brand into a world-leading AI device ecosystem company."

The HONOR 400 Lite 5G includes several notable hardware elements. Its 6.7-inch AMOLED display showcases a 120Hz refresh rate and achieves a 93.7% screen-to-body ratio, delivering vibrant and smooth visuals.

Designed for photography enthusiasts, the new AI Camera Button offers quick access to the camera functionality and Smart Vision (Google Lens).

The Google Gemini Power Button enhances editing capabilities with tools such as AI Eraser and AI Outpainting.

The phone camera's main 108MP sensor, coupled with a 5MP wide and depth sensor, aims to capture high-quality images with features suitable for low-light conditions and portrait photography.
