Huawei has scheduled its annual developer’s conference, HDC 2019 in China this week where the company is expected to make a few big announcements, including the launch of its sub-brands new product lineup.
Honor Smart Screen, which is basically Smart TVs are all set to get launched on 10th August. As the launch date nears, more and more leaks related to the upcoming product keeps surfacing online. In the latest leak, we get a look at its user interface.
An image has been leaked online which shows the bottom half of television, which is believed to be the upcoming Honor Smart Screen. It also showcases the device’s welcome screen, giving us a sneak peek at its user interface.
This is also the first sneak peek at the Huawei’s upcoming HongMeng OS, which is developed in-house. It has already been confirmed that the Honor Smart Screen devices will be the first products to be powered by the HongMeng OS.
In the leaked image, we can see several functions listed on the left pane, including display settings, sound settings, connected devices, account management, about section, etc. On the right pane, there’s a section that checks for software updates.
A few users, who have already experienced this user interface claims that the upcoming Honor product is quite smart thanks to the AI Camera feature and the user experience is like never seen before.
Honor’s President, George Zhao has confirmed that Honor’s new smart screen will be powered by Honghu 818 chipset, developed by Huawei’s Hisilicon in partnership with Baidu. This is different from the Kirin lineup that powers Huawei and Honor smartphones and looks to be optimized specifically for smart screen products.
The Honghu 818’s computing power and decoding capability will ensure that Honor’s new smart screen offers excellent picture and sound quality. The new chipset supports HDR, super-resolution (SR), noise-reduction (NR), dynamic contrast improvement (DCI), automatic color management (ACM) and motion estimation motion compensation (MEMC) technologies to offer a high-end video experience.
The Honor smart screen also features a pop-up camera which is likely going be used to capture pictures and make video calls. However, what makes it even more interesting is that it supports facial recognition, which could be one of the ways to secure the device.
As per the company’s claims, the 55-inch Honor Smart Screen will be more than a regular TV. Zhao has said that Honor does not want to release a traditional TV and instead, it wants to accelerate the evolution of the TV industry with the help of innovation.
