Is it worth buying the Honor 400??

Hello, iLevante community! We know that when a new mobile comes to the market, a thousand questions arise. Will it be as good as they say? What if it breaks? Is it a smart long-term investment? Today we put under our magnifying glass one of the most talked-about launches of the year: the Honor 400. If you are thinking of getting it or are simply curious, you have come to the right place. We are going to break down not only its features but also what interests us the most: its durability, the most common problems, and, of course, how much it would cost to keep it in tip-top shape with quality spare parts.

The Honor 400 has made a strong entry, with a design that catches the eye and specifications that promise a lot. But at iLevante.com, we don't stay on the surface. We want to answer the million-dollar question: at its current price, is it a purchase worth making? Let's analyze it from the perspective we know best: hardware, repairability, and long-term costs.

Examining the Price of the Honor 400: Is it a good investment right now?

The Honor 400 was launched in May 2025 with a starting price of 499? for its 256 GB version and 549? for the 512 GB model. These are competitive figures for a mid-high range aiming to stand out. A few months later, you can already find the 512 GB model in some stores for about 420-450?. This initial price drop makes it much more appealing.

So, is it worth it? The answer is a yes, but with nuances. On the one hand, you get a device with an absolutely spectacular 120 Hz AMOLED screen, a 200 MP main camera that delivers remarkable photographic results, and a silicon-carbon battery with excellent autonomy and fast charging. Additionally, Honor promises up to 6 years of software support, which is a big plus for longevity. However, its heart is the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor. Do not get us wrong; it's a very capable chip for 95% of daily tasks, social media, multimedia, and most games. But if you're looking for maximum performance for extreme gaming or heavy video editing, there are more powerful alternatives in the same price range. The verdict is clear: if you value a top-tier display, a good camera for photos, and a durable battery over sheer power, the Honor 400, at its current price, is one of the smartest purchases you can make.

Launch Prices of the Honor 400 and the Cost of its Most Common Spare Part: The Screen

One of the biggest concerns when buying a new phone is the fear of it falling and the screen shattering. Therefore, knowing the cost of the most common repair is crucial. Here is a comparative table with the launch prices of the Honor 400 family and the cost of the replacement screen you can find in our store so you can see that keeping your phone like new does not have to be a ruin.

Technical Service: How Much Does it Cost to Change the Honor 400 Screen?

If you don't dare to carry out the repair yourself, it's natural to wonder about the total service cost. The labor cost for a screen replacement varies depending on the technical service but usually ranges between 40 ? and 70 ?. When adding the cost of our iLevante high-quality complete screen (149.90 ?), the total repair cost in a professional workshop would be approximately between 190 ? and 220 ?. It's a significant investment but significantly lower than buying a new phone and ensures a perfect result.

Repair Time: How Long Does it Take to Change the Screen? ?

Time is gold, and being without a phone is a hassle. The good news is that replacing the screen of the Honor 400 is not an excessively long operation. An experienced technician, with the right tools, can complete the screen replacement in approximately 1 to 2 hours, including subsequent functionality tests. For an individual user who dares to do it at home with one of our repair kits, the process may take longer. We recommend allowing approximately 2 to 4 hours to do it calmly, following a good tutorial, paying special attention to disconnecting the battery and flex cables, and applying the necessary heat to detach the damaged panel without damaging the chassis.

Common Hardware Issues and Technical Details of the Honor 400

Beyond the screen, it's important to know the potential weak points of a device. The Honor 400 is a well-built terminal, but as with all electronic devices, problems can arise. Some of the most discussed issues by users so far are:

• Charging port (USB-C): Some users have reported issues with fast charging when using non-official chargers. The port itself is robust, but it can sometimes accumulate dirt. If you notice charging failures, the first step is always a good cleaning with a wooden stick or an air blower. If the problem persists, at iLevante, you can find the charging connector spare part.
• Overheating and battery: The Pro model, being more powerful, has received some comments about heating during very demanding tasks. The standard Honor 400 handles temperature better thanks to its processor. The battery, while durable, may show higher drainage if apps are running abnormally in the background, an issue more related to software than hardware.
• Physical buttons: No widespread failures have been reported in the volume or power buttons. These components typically last the lifetime of the phone, but if they stop working due to a bump or wear, replacing the button flex is a simple and inexpensive repair.
• Hardware limitations: It is important to note that the Honor 400 does not have wireless charging or an IP68 certification for water and dust resistance. It also does not include a microSD card slot, so choose your storage capacity wisely.

Battery Durability: Original vs. Replacement

Honor boasts about its new silicon-carbon battery technology, ensuring a longer lifespan. But what happens when its capacity inevitably degrades? How long does a replacement battery last?

As you can see, the original battery offers exceptional durability. A high-quality replacement battery, although it does not reach the manufacturer's figures, guarantees a couple more years of excellent autonomy, making it the perfect solution to give your Honor 400 a second life when the original starts to falter.

We hope this in-depth analysis has helped resolve your doubts. The Honor 400 is a very well-balanced terminal and a great purchase option, especially with the price drop it is already experiencing. And most importantly: it is a device for which you will be able to find quality spare parts at iLevante.com, ensuring that your investment lasts for many years. See you in the next article!
