The era of static smartphone photography might be nearing its end with HONOR Philippines making a bold play with its upcoming HONOR 400 5G. It just demonstrated its AI phone’s capabilities by transforming celebrity couple Shaira Diaz and EA Guzman’s prenuptial photos into dynamic, moving memories.
At the core of the company’s latest innovation is the HONOR 400 5G’s Image-to-Video AI feature. During an exclusive photoshoot set against the nostalgic backdrop of Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar in Quezon City, the device showcased its ability to take a still photograph and breathe life into it, converting it into a short, dynamic video clip. Think of it as a souped-up Live Photo for your entire gallery, designed to inject movement and narrative into cherished moments.
“Our goal with the HONOR 400 5G is to redefine how people capture and relive their most special moments,” said HONOR Philippines vice president Stephen Cheng. “This shoot with Shaira and EA showcases the device’s ability to preserve memories while bringing them to life with unparalleled clarity and emotion.”
At the event, the Image-to-Video AI feature took center stage. The demonstration showed how the technology can animate subtle details within a still photograph — the gentle rustle of fabric, a fleeting shift in light, or the natural flow of an expression. This application of generative AI extends beyond mere enhancement. It essentially transforms static memories into short, dynamic video clips, pushing the boundaries of what a phone camera can capture compared to traditional methods.

For those keeping track, the global version of the HONOR 400 5G boasts a formidable spec sheet. We’re talking a 6.55-inch AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, all powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 5G processor. Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the hefty 200-megapixel main sensor, complemented by a 12-megapixel ultrawide, and a 50-megapixel selfie camera. A large 6,000mAh battery with 100-watt fast wired charging and an IP66 rating for splash resistance further enhance its appeal. While local configurations and the exciting promise of up to six years of Android OS updates are yet to be confirmed for the Philippine market, the global blueprint sets a high bar.
Beyond the headlining Image-to-Video feature, the MagicOS 9.0-based HONOR 400 5G also includes a suite of AI-powered functionalities. Think AI Portrait Snap for sharper moving subjects, an AI Editing Suite for seamless object removal, and even AI Subtitles and Translation — a clear indication of the brand’s commitment to making “AI Phone” more than just marketing jargon.
The HONOR 400 5G officially launches in stores nationwide on June 17. You can catch all the official details and pricing live on HONOR Philippines’ Facebook page. Prepare to see your memories, quite literally, come to life.
