Honor 400 review
The Honor 400 duo is globally available, and we've already checked out the Pro model. Now it's time for the vanilla Honor 400. Although the two phones share a lot of design elements, they are definitely not identical either in or out.
The Honor 400 is a much more angular device with more flat surfaces. The middle frame has nicely curved edges, but that's about it. Unlike the Pro model, with its curvy display, the Honor 400 is flat on both the front and the back. It is a pretty thin and light device, which is always appreciated. Its display is a definite standout feature. It gets very bright and is also HDR-certified. Honor 400 5G specs at a glance: Body: 156.5x74.6x7.3mm, 184g; plastic frame and back; IP65 dust-tight and water resistant (low-pressure water jets), IP66 dust-tight and water resistant (high-pressure water jets), * market/region dependent availability.

Although the vanilla model is missing a telephoto camera, compared to its Pro sibling, its camera setup still looks quite promising on paper. Its 200MP main camera should have enough resolution for some good digital zooms. On top of that, there is an autofocusing ultrawide, which should be able to pull double duty for macros. And a 50MP selfie rounds off the list quite well.
The Honor 400 isn't exactly a performance powerhouse with its Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset. However, in a rather interesting move, Honor decided to invest a lot in AI for the Honor 400 family, which also includes the regular Honor 400. You get some interesting features like image outpainting and static image to video generation seemingly for free. These are powered by Google's potent AI models and seem to run exclusively in the cloud.
Rounding things off, the Honor 400 also offers a potent set of modern connectivity features. We'll make sure to go over these in the appropriate review sections. Unboxing
Just like its Pro sibling, the Honor 200 ships in a relatively thin white cardboard box. It is a standard two-piece design and it is thick enough to protect the phone itself. We also didn't see any plastic inside.
What we also didn't see is a charger and case - these are now gone with this generation. The accessory package is as basic as it comes, only featuring a SIM ejector tool and a USB cable. Nothing more.

Oppo Reno15 details leak with major shake-ups
Before you hit up the comment section to inform us, YES, we are well-aware that the Reno14 and Reno14 Pro were only launched in China last month and have just begun their international rollout, with upcoming launches in Malaysia on July 1 and India on July 3. This is all to say that the Reno15 family is still a ways off from announcement. That said, it appears to be far enough in development for some details to start leaking. Industry insider Digital Chat Station has suggested that the Reno15 and Reno15 Pro are already being tested with 200MP main cameras on board. That's up from the 50MP shooters on the Reno14 line. Quite the potential upgrade. Both phones are also tipped to have a periscope telephoto, which is not surprising given that both Reno14 models have one. Reno15 info In a potentially more interesting possible development, the source also hints at a substantial downsizing for both phones. Allegedly, the regular Reno15 will feature a 6.3-inch display, effectively making it a 'compact' device by modern standards. Definitely smaller than the 6.59 inches of the Reno14. The Reno15 Pro will also apparently be downsized to 6.78 inches, compared to the 6.83 inches of the Reno14 Pro. Last but not least, Digital Chat Station claims that Oppo is considering new flagship hardware for the pair. We aren't sure exactly what that entails, but he does mention wireless charging and metal middle frames, so there's that. Source (In Chinese) | Via

Tecno Camon 40 Pro review
Tecno has unveiled its Camon 40 series at the MWC in Barcelona, and today, we are going to meet one of the most interesting specimens - the Camon 40 Pro 5G. It offers a well-rounded specs sheet with plenty of premium features at an attractively low price point. The Camon 40 Pro 5G bets heavily on design and multimedia - it has a curved shape with an unusual looking back, a fast 144Hz OLED, Dolby Atmos speakers, a powerful processor, and 50MP cameras on both sides for a premium photo experience. Let's start from the beginning. The Camon 40 Pro 5G has curved panels and a thin profile, Gorilla Glass 7i protection, and IP68 plus IP69 ratings. It is also tested to be drop resistant - to an extent. The Camon 40 Pro 5G packs a 6.78-inch 1080p OLED display with 144Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ certifications. The model utilizes a rather popular chipset lately - the Dimensity 7300 5G. The Camon lineup has always had a focus on the camera kit, and the Camon 40 Pro 5G is no exception. It has a 50MP LYT-700C main camera, an 8MP ultrawide secondary, and a 50MP AF selfie imager. The Tecno Camon 40 Pro 5G is powered by a 5,200mAh battery that supports up to 45W wired charging. It boots Android 15 with Hi OS 15, which is brimming with AI options, and it is promised to get three major software upgrades in the following years. Tecno Camon 40 Pro 5G specs at a glance: Body: 164.3x74.6x7.3mm, 179g; Gorilla Glass 7i front. plastic frame, plastic back; IP68/IP69 dust tight and water resistant (high pressure water jets; immersible up to 2m for 30 min). 164.3x74.6x7.3mm, 179g; Gorilla Glass 7i front. plastic frame, plastic back; IP68/IP69 dust tight and water resistant (high pressure water jets; immersible up to 2m for 30 min).

The Camon 40 Pro 5G seems like a sweet deal, but it's not exactly an update over the Camon 30 Pro 5G. The chipset is a lower class, the ultrawide camera has been severely downgraded, and the charging power is lower. Those features are now reserved for the Premium model. On a positive note, these cuts made the Camon 40 Pro 5G more affordable, so it is a silver lining of sorts. Unboxing the Camon 40 Pro 5G The Camon 40 Pro 5G arrives in a thick paper box, which is filled with goodies. It all starts with the phone, of course, then there is a USB-A-to-C cable, and even a 45W power adapter. That's not all! Tecno bundles the phone with a premium protective case, which features an incredibly grippy and stylish back that matches the phone's design. Finally, the phone arrives with a factory-applied protective folio on its screen. Page 2
