HONOR is officially bringing the HONOR 400 Lite to Malaysia on 25 April 2025, introducing a bold new direction in budget smartphones — one that leans heavily into AI-driven features, Google Gemini integration, and a smart AI Button for camera and productivity shortcuts.
Online users have dubbed it the “budget iPhone killer". That's because the 400 Lite aims to democratize AI with features usually reserved for premium flagships, all while keeping it affordable for Malaysian consumers.

AI Button - Control With Ease
On the HONOR 400 Lite is an AI Button, inspired by iPhone 16’s new camera trigger, but does more on the HONOR 400 Lite. It can act as a multi-tool for capturing photos, zooming, and quick video recording. The AI button is also integrated with Google Lens activation for instant object recognition, product lookups, and image-based web searches.
Interestingly, the button will also activate Homework Mode for step-by-step solutions and Translate Mode for real-time language translations.
Gemini AI Integration – Just Long Press the Power Button
With just a long press on the power button, you can activate Google Gemini, unlocking features like Real-time assistance on productivity via text, voice or camera.
You can also enjoy Smart search across YouTube, Maps, Docs, and even travel bookings. Make sure to try Gemini Live, a conversational AI tool that helps users prep for presentations, explain topics, and brainstorm ideas.
AI Photography in a Budget Phone
Usually seen on most premium or higher-priced phones, HONOR 400 Lite will also grant a camera experience that's AI-enhanced with tools like:
- AI Eraser – remove photobombers or distractions
- AI Outpainting – expand photo backgrounds creatively
- Face-to-Face Translate – real-time translation in camera view
- Magic Portal – drag content between apps with context recognition
- Circle to Search – powered by Google AI for instant lookup of anything on screen
The HONOR 400 Lite bridges the gap between budget phones and smart AI experiences, making it ideal for anyone upgrading from a basic Android.
