HONOR 400 series turns stills to stories in a snap

News2419-06-2025

HONOR is yet again, ready to launch exciting new innovation. The new HONOR 400 and HONOR 400 Pro are not just smartphones. They're creative companions built for how South Africans actually use their phones. Think fewer edits, fewer apps and more 'wow, that's from a phone?'
Photos that move you
Creativity goes next-level with AI Image to Video, co-developed with Google Cloud, which turns your still shots into short, dynamic videos in under a minute. Think moving postcards, vibe reels, and moodboard moments - all in MP4 or vertical format, ready for socials. You can try it free until 31 August, with up to 10 free video creations a day. And with the new Moving Photo Collage, you can blend 2 to 9 motion shots into a single reel - storytelling made simple, right from your gallery.
With the 200MP Ultra-clear AI Camera and an all-new AI Creative Editor, you can go from a street snap to a social-ready visual story in seconds. It's the kind of tech that turns everyday scenes into cinema, whether you're in Braam or Bantry Bay.
Built for the Mzansi pace
All this is powered by a long-lasting 6000mAh battery, lightning-fast 100W HONOR SuperCharge and a 5000nit Ultra Bright Display that keeps content clear, even in midday sun. Whether you're shooting, sharing, or streaming, the HONOR 400 Series keeps up.
We're thrilled to announce that HONOR is partnering with Afrotainment at this year's Hollywoodbets Durban July, the most iconic event on the South African social calendar.

How Honor, Samsung And Google Will Disrupt Smartphones For Ever

Honor Magic V3 Three key foldable smartphones are set to be launched over the next few weeks. In their own way, each will have an impact on defining the foldables market as we enter the second half of 2025. Each will also seek to establish their brand with evolution and revolution. The Honor Magic V5 Following last week's preview ahead of its launch, the Honor Magic V5 is going all in on technological Innovation and design. Promoted as one of the thinnest foldable smartphones when it goes on sale, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman confirmed that the fourth mainline foldable from the company would come with a main body just 8.8mm thin. That compares to 9.2mm for last year's Honor Magic V4, 12.1mm for the Galaxy Z Fold6, and 10.5mm for Google's Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Whether the 2025 versions of these foldables match or exceed Honor's claim remains to be seen, but from the currently available information, that doesn't seem to be the case. The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold Google's Pixel family of smartphones arguably represent the reference design of Mountain View's Android vision. Yet, the last few years have seen the Pixel push into its own space with exclusive applications and experiences available only through Pixel. The reference design has given way to a testbed of software. Pixel 9 Pro Fold That places the Pixel 10 Pro Fold at the forefront of artificial intelligence. Google's push to bring Gemini to the fore in the digital battleground against tools from Open AI, Anthropic and Perpexity. While Google's take on generative artificial intelligence spans the full Pixel range and not just the foldables, the ability to tailor the user environment with AI-powered information and updates will be a key part of the overall feel of the Pixel Fold. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold will fulfil its role as a reference design in one respect. Last year's Pixel 9 Pro Fold worked hard to match the dimensions and utility of the candy bar Pixel 9 Pro. By offering a 'regular' phone on the outside, the idea of using the Pixel Fold as a regular smartphone when closed (as opposed to cramped cover screens and awkwardly shaped displays) influenced the market towards a seamless experience. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 The final foldable in the big three is Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold7. The South Korean company has done more than most to commercialize the market for foldable devices, especially outside the Chinese market. IDC reported a market share of 51.2 percent following the release of 2024's Galaxy Z Fold 6, and will be expecting a similar dominance once more when it launches the Z Fold7. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Samsung can also command the press like no other manufacturer in the Android space. By turning over its summer Galaxy Unpacked to focus entirely on foldables, to the exclusion of different models, Samsung announces both the Galaxy Z Fold7 (and the smaller Z Flip7) all the limelight. It's a clear message to consumers—these phones are worthy of flagship status with no compromise or crutch. They are, effectively, ready for prime time. Foldables Coming Of Age Arguably, foldables started out as a flex. They felt like phones that had been manufactured not to sell, but to show off. Much like luxury sportscar racing, where winning on Sunday meant increased sales of the regular cars on Monday, the gee-whizz of the foldable helped sell the more staid and standard smartphones after they turned heads. That approach is still there, but as foldables grow in stature (and R&D departments work to get the price down), they are being more consumer-focused. Over the next few weeks, we'll hear more about The Designer, The Dreamer, and The Popular. Which is the one for you? Now read the latest smartphone headlines in Forbes' weekly Android news digest...

Multi-lingual and relatable: 10 memorable roles played by late Meme Ditshego

The death of veteran actor Meme Ditshego left the country in a sombre mood on Thursday as many, in tribute, spoke of her kind heart and her ability to bring relatable characters to life. The actor died on the evening of 25 June 2025, aged 60. Like many of the stars of her generation in the acting industry, Ditshego started her career in township theatre. Born in 1965, the actor paid her dues on theatre stages in plays such as Antigone in the 80's and participated in school theatre outreach programmes. Her TV debut arrived in 1997 through SABC 2's Afrikaans drama series Sterk Skemer, where she played the role of Elsie. The actor would go on to deliver performances that transcended language, race or culture. Though many may know Ditshego for her role as overbearing mother Josephine Ratau on SABC 2's Ga Re Dumele, the actor has also appeared in multiple popular productions that aired on SABC, Netflix, Showmax, DsTV, Etv, and many other platforms. Ditshego played Josephine for six years, earning her a Best Actress Golden Horn trophy at the South African Film and TV Awards (Saftas) in 2012 and a nomination for a Safta in the same category in 2014. The multilingual thespian is among the actors who were well-rounded in their skills because though Ditshego excelled in comedic roles, thanks to her great comedic timing and natural delivery of punchlines, she delivered in an equally believable manner when bringing more serious characters to life. The actor lived a relatively private life but never failed to bring her A-game regarding her craft. Even if Josephine, her super popular character, failed to grab your attention, you've probably seen Ditshego in her element as one or two of the roles below: Here are her top 10 roles played by Ditshego - in no particular order: Josephine in Ga Re Dumele Joyce Mlambo in The Coconuts Ma Thandi in Soul Buddyz Elsie in Sterk Skemer Gladys in Jozi-H Ausi Ntsoaki in Muvhango Patricia on Skeem Saam Evelina in 7de Laan Dr Machaka in Broken Vows Mam' Daphne in Love, Sex and 30 Candles.
