Its always fun to see smartphone manufacturers taking playful jabs at one another, and the latest put-down from Honor targets its longtime rival Samsung.

In a promotional image announcing the May 22 release date for the Honor 400 series, Honor has included a suite of clues to excite fans about the phones most exciting features. Among these hidden pointers is a message reading Not the same, with sam appearing in bold blue letters clearly a reference to Honors competitor.

This is the same typeface Honor used to poke fun at Samsung for the Galaxy
S25 Ultras supposed lack of innovation back in January, so the brand clearly has a bee in its bonnet with Samsung, specifically. The Honor 400 is expected to rival the midrange Samsung Galaxy A56 , so not the same could be a reference to the uniqueness of Honors phone, or indeed an outright jab at the perceived recent sameness of Samsungs affordable smartphone lineup.

Sure, thats big talk for a company of Honors size, but the brands confidence in its own product could be well-founded. In a separate teaser image (below), Honor has confirmed that both the Honor 400 and Honor 400 Pro will boast a 200MP ultra-clear AI camera, which sounds like more than a match for the 50MP main camera on the Galaxy A56.

The Honor 400 Pro could also have a dedicated telephoto lens, with rumors hinting at a 50MP sensor paired with the zoom the Galaxy A56, meanwhile, has a 12MP ultra-wide lens and a 5MP macro lens.

We havent heard much else about Honors next mid-rangers, but the aforementioned teaser image does strongly suggest that one or both phones
will feature some unique AI software and impressive water resistance.

The May 22 release date for the Honor 400 and Honor 400 Pro will come a month after the Honor 400 Lite hit shelves. We described that budget-friendly model as a solid handset with some appealing features in our Honor 400 Lite review
, but Honors upcoming phones will have their work cut out if they hope to compete with Galaxy A56, which we praised for being an impressive jack-of-all-trades and one of the best cheap phones around. You might also like Honor Magic 7 Pro review: the Android endurance king Honor matches
