HONOR Makes a Splash at VivaTech with AI Smarts and a Fancy New Phone pen_spark

HONOR turned heads at VivaTech, a big tech expo in Europe. Their big thing was all about AI, especially how they’re putting it right on your phone (on-device AI) and a cool new strategy they cooked up called the “Four-Layer AI Strategy.” They even teamed up with Google Cloud to bring next-level AI features to their upcoming phones – sounds pretty sweet!

HONOR Believes On-Device AI is the Future (and You Should Too!)

The big cheese at HONOR, George Zhao, says they think on-device AI is the key to unlocking the full potential of AI for everyone, in a safe and secure way. Basically, it means your phone gets smarter about the stuff you do without all your info flying around the internet. This team-up with Google Cloud shows they’re all in on this “hybrid approach” to AI, aiming to make your phone experience super smooth and intuitive.

Breaking Down HONOR’s Four-Layer AI Strategy

The keynote speech unveiled HONOR’s unique way of putting AI into their MagicOS operating system, called the Four-Layer AI Strategy. Here’s the lowdown:

• Layer 1: Building an Open Playground (Cross-device and Cross-OS AI): This is the foundation, allowing all your devices and their operating systems to work together and share stuff, kind of like a techy playground.
• Layer 2: Your Phone, Your Way (Platform-Level AI): This layer personalizes your phone experience. Imagine your phone guessing what you want to do before you even do it, and giving you the resources you need for the things you love.
• Layer 3: Get Ready for Awesome New Apps (App-Level AI): This layer is all about bringing a wave of super cool AI apps that will totally change how you use your phone.
• Layer 4: Powerful Cloud AI at Your Fingertips (Interface to Cloud-AI Services): This layer lets you tap into powerful AI services stored on the internet (cloud AI) while keeping your privacy a priority. Think of it as having a super smart helper that respects your space.

Magic Portal: Your AI BFF Simplifying Your Life

Magic Portal is part of MagicOS 8.0 and it’s basically the first-ever AI assistant that figures out your habits and turns complicated tasks into one-step magic tricks. Right now, it works with over 100 popular apps across a bunch of categories, from travel to messaging. HONOR says they’re planning to make it even smarter in the future, so get ready for an even more helpful phone buddy.

Teaming Up with Google Cloud for Next-Gen AI

As part of their Four-Layer AI Strategy, HONOR is putting cutting-edge “Gen-AI” features (powered by Google Cloud) into their upcoming phones. This means next-level smarts and innovation, all while keeping your privacy in check. Remember that cool AI Motion Sensing Capture feature they had? Well, HONOR is taking things a step further with the upcoming HONOR 200 Series. This phone is aiming to be a game-changer for mobile photography with a brand new AI-powered “Portrait experience.” The HONOR 200 Series uses AI to recreate the famous lighting and shadow effects used by Studio Harcourt, a legendary French photography studio known for its classic portraits. By studying a ton of Studio Harcourt photos, the HONOR 200 Series basically “cracked the code” on portrait photography, breaking it down into nine steps and replicating the entire process. This means you can take flawless, studio-quality portraits every single time.

The HONOR 200 Series launches in Paris on June 12th with MagicOS 8.0 pre-loaded, showing their dedication to making AI tech accessible to everyone. They’re also rolling out MagicOS 8.0 to their HONOR Magic V2 and HONOR 90 devices, giving even more people the chance to experience the power of AI.
