Honor has made its debut today at VivaTech, one of Europe’s largest tech and innovation events. During its keynote, HONOR showcased its innovative approach to on-device AI and unveiled its pioneering Four-layered AI Strategy.

Honor also announced upcoming Gen-AI experiences with Google Cloud, which are set to be featured on its anticipated smartphones, opening up exciting possibilities for enhancing user experiences. Here are the details…

Introducing Honor’s Four-Layer AI Architecture

During the keynote, HONOR unveiled its Four-Layer AI Architecture and demonstrated its strategic focus on integrating AI into MagicOS. This Four-Layer Architecture comprises distinct layers.

At the base layer, Cross-device and Cross-OS AI form the foundation of an open ecosystem, which allows the sharing of computing power and services among devices and operating systems.

Building upon this foundation, the Platform-level AI layer enables a personalized operating system, allowing intent-based human-computer interaction and personalized resource allocation.

At the third layer, App-level AI is poised to introduce a wave of innovative, generative AI applications that will revolutionize user experiences.

Lastly, at the top, the Interface to Cloud-AI services layer provides users with easy access to massive cloud services while prioritizing privacy protection, creating a truly holistic and future-forward AI experience.

Four-Layer AI architecture for on-device AI

As part of MagicOS 8.0, Magic Portal is the industry’s first intent-based UI, which understands user behavior and streamlines complex tasks into single-step processes.

Currently, Magic Portal supports 100 top applications across seven scenarios, including travel, productivity, messaging, search, entertainment, shopping, and social media, with plans to expand usage scenarios to provide even more seamless and intelligent AI experiences in the future.

As part of HONOR’s Four-Layer Architecture, HONOR is set to integrate cutting-edge Gen-AI experiences, powered by Google Cloud, into its upcoming smartphones, promising to deliver a new level of intelligence and innovation to users with enhanced privacy protection.

Revolutionizing Portrait Experience with HONOR 200 Series 

Honor also announced that their upcoming HONOR 200 Series will feature a new AI-powered Portrait experience, drawing inspiration from the iconic Studio Harcourt. This feature leverages AI to recreate the studio’s signature lighting and shadow effects, resulting in professional-quality portraits.

The process is broken down into nine distinct steps, ensuring flawless results with every shot. The HONOR 200 Series is set to launch in Paris on June 12, powered by MagicOS 8.0. This OS will also be rolled out to the HONOR Magic V2 and HONOR 90 devices, making AI technology accessible to a wider audience.

The Human-AI Synergy: Smart Devices for a Better Future

Honor hosted a panel discussion at an event featuring Dr. Justine Cassell, discussing the future of multimodal interaction in smart devices. The discussion highlighted the benefits of on-device AI, which empowers individuals with personalized recommendations while protecting privacy by keeping data on the device.

Dr. Cassell emphasized that humans interact multimodally, using verbal language, nonverbal cues, and paraverbal elements. This trend suggests a future where multimodally-sensitive AI will be adopted on smartphones.

HONOR’s focus on human-centric design aims to combine the advantages of different devices through AI-powered cross-device integration. This approach allows for unified user intent recognition, providing tailored recommendations and suggestions based on a comprehensive understanding of user behavior across multiple devices.
