Honor is now a leading maker of innovative, high-quality Android smartphones for taking great photos and videos, and the company has announced some very tempting deals this Black Friday week – on its official store, its Amazon store, and from various network providers.
Honor Magic 7 Pro
This flagship phone is an excellent choice for enthusiast photographers, featuring a 50MP main camera with f/1.4-f/2.0 self-adjusting aperture and optical image stabilisation (OIS), along with a 50MP, f/2 ultra-wide camera and a 50MP f/2 front or ‘selfie’ camera.
But the real star of the show here is the far-reaching telephoto camera, based around a 200MP 1/1.4in telephoto sensor. You also get a fast aperture of f/2.6, OIS, 3x optical zoom and 100x digital zoom, so it is fantastic for capturing distant detail. With the innovative AI SuperZoom feature, which is activated when you go past 30x zoom, far-away subjects come a lot closer. Distance really is no object.
The Honor Magic 7 Pro is also a great choice for portrait photographers. In addition to AI editing tools for improving clarity and bokeh in your people shots, you get access to the Harcourt portrait modes, named after the famous Parisian studio. These include atmospheric black & white effects, while Classic and Vibrant also add a touch of Parisian style to your portraits.
If you like to shoot action – for example, sports or just fast-moving kids or pets – the Honor Magic 7 Pro can also capture 10 frames per second with the HD Super Burst Mode feature. An AI-powered auto capture feature also selects the best image for you from a series of shots. The phone is a video star too, able to record footage in 4K up to 60p.
Last but not least, the Honor Magic 7 Pro is a great phone to take on winter breaks, as can be seen above. As well as taking superb photos and video, you get AI translation across 13 languages, and the 5270mAh battery is long lasting.
With IP69-certification, you can even take the Magic 7 Pro into very hot and steamy showers when you need to get warmed up! It’s got a built-in subwoofer for enjoying music and movies on the move, too.
Black Friday discounts
- Available for just £649.99 (£450 in savings and gift with purchase). Only available through the Honor store, while stocks last.

Honor 400 Pro
This mid-range phone is unbeatable value for photographers and videographers, offering a powerful triple-camera setup and a genuinely useful toolbox of AI-powered editing features.
The Honor 400 Pro’s 200MP, f/1.9 main camera is particularly effective, featuring a large 1/1.4in sensor and OIS. This is backed up by a a 50MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom (f/2.4), a 12MP, f/2.2 ultra-wide and 50MP front camera.
As with the Magic 7 Pro, AI SuperZoom helpfully kicks in after 30x zoom in order to capture distant detail. Another neat AI feature on the 400 Pro is Image to Video, which enables you to create a short five-second video from a still photograph. This cool feature has tons of applications, from animating a shot of your goldfish to adding movement to scanned-in pictures of family members from the past.
Meanwhile, the suite of AI photo-editing tools comes in very handy for removing distractions from your shots, cutting out objects (without any of the faff of Photoshop), expanding images you have cropped too tightly, and so on.
These really are a big time saver when it comes to getting your pictures ready to share on social media. Video can also be captured at 4K and 60fps. When you look at the Black Friday discounts below, you really are getting a lot of smartphone for your money.
