During an event at VivaTech in Paris, George Zhao, CEO of Honor, announced the date of the global presentation of the Honor 200 series, scheduled for June 12. Although the main focus of his speech was on generative artificial intelligence on mobile, Zhao anticipated some news regarding the next smartphones, with particular emphasis on Honor 200.
Generative artificial intelligence will be a crucial element of the next Magic OS 8.0 operating system, which will be installed on all the brand’s new flagships. According to Honor, users will be able to create stunning portraits with a simple tap, without the need for expensive lighting setups or professional equipment, simply by using their smartphone.
There will be two models in the new series: Honor 200 and Honor 200 Pro, both already available for pre-order on the Chinese website, where it is possible to have a preview of their design. Until launch, further details on the devices are limited, but according to leaked rumors, the two flagships should integrate a 50 MP OIS stabilized rear main module with f/1.9 aperture and a maximum 100x hybrid zoom. Additionally, they are expected to be powered by a 5,200mAh battery with 100W fast charging capability.
During his speech, George Zhao illustrated the company’s vision regarding artificial intelligence: “At Honor, we firmly believe that by combining the power of personalization of on-device artificial intelligence with that of the cloud, everyone can fully exploit the potential of AI in a safe and secure manner,” he said. “We are pleased to continue our collaboration with Google Cloud, leveraging our combined expertise to unlock the potential of this hybrid approach, delivering even more seamless AI experiences to our users.”
The central point of Honor’s speech at VivaTech was the presentation of its 4-layer AI architecture. The company also illustrated its strategic focus on integrating AI into MagicOS. At its core, Cross-device and Cross-OS AI forms the foundation of an open ecosystem, enabling the sharing of computing power and services between devices and operating systems. On this basis, the AI layer is developed at the platform level, which enables a customized operating system. The third level, application-level AI, introduces a set of generative applications that are very different from the ones we know now. Finally, at the top, the Cloud-AI Service Interface layer offers users easy access to numerous cloud services, while keeping privacy protection as a priority.
