HONOR Launches the new Magic6 Pro

Published

on

Artificial intelligence has become increasingly integrated into our daily lives, and one of the biggest news in 2024 was the launch of the HONOR Magic6 Pro, boasting a suite of AI functionalities. This groundbreaking smartphone brings the power of artificial intelligence directly to users’ fingertips. The AI capabilities of the HONOR Magic6 Pro are designed to provide meaningful enhancements across various aspects of life, with a particular focus on optimizing everyday usage of the phone.

The HONOR Magic6 Pro takes sports photography to the next level with its intelligent AI Falcon Camera. Gone are the blurry action shots as HONOR Magic6 Pro’s “AI Motion Sensing Capture” uses AI to optimize photos and videos for dynamic moments. With a football player about to kick the ball, the AI analyzes the player’s stance, leg position, and overall movement trajectory to anticipate the peak moment of action (the kick itself). By predicting this crucial moment, the camera can adjust settings like shutter speed and focus even before the action unfolds.

While excelling in sports photography, AI Motion Sensing Capture isn’t limited to the athletic arena.  This technology shines in any scenario with fast-moving subjects.  Whether capturing a child’s dance, a playful dog chasing a frisbee, or even the stunning movements of a concert performance. The AI recognizes and adapts to these dynamic scenes, ensuring you capture the essence of the movement with exceptional clarity.

The updated version of HONOR AI Falcon Camera is the AI network trained with over 8 million images which is 28 times larger than the previous generation. A standout feature of the HONOR Magic6 Pro is its ‘Magic Portal’, an AI feature designed around human-centric intent. This innovative capability enables HONOR Magic6 Pro to interpret text messages, images, and user behaviours, then, it predicts and gives better solutions.

For example, you can quickly copy an address and move it to navigation apps with a simple drag from one app to the side of the screen to the other app. Similarly, they can snap a photo and effortlessly drag it to social media apps for instant sharing.

This functionality is particularly advantageous for professionals on the move, as it allows them to swiftly drag notes or images directly into emails and send them without the hassle of copying or saving them first. For those who crave privacy during calls, HONOR’s AI Privacy Call 3.0 on HONOR Magic6 Pro is a game-changer. This innovative technology tackles sound leakage, a common concern in public spaces.

Using a combination of AI and hardware, AI Privacy Call directs sound straight to your ear, which ensures your conversations remain confidential, whether you’re discussing business strategies on a crowded train or planning a surprise party on the bus. In the new version, users can activate the privacy mode from volume level 1 to level 9, which is one level higher than the previous generation.

At the recent MWC 2024 in Barcelona, HONOR unveiled a unique AI strategy that goes beyond the typical approach. Their vision focuses on four key layers of AI integration, offering a more comprehensive user experience.

Layer 1 utilizes platform-level AI to create a seamless ecosystem. HONOR’s MagicRing feature exemplifies this, allowing for effortless connectivity across your devices. Moving beyond basic functionalities, Layer 2 leverages AI to personalize your experience.  HONOR’s MagicOS 8.0 with the industry’s first Intent-based UI analyzes your habits and preferences, customizing your phone’s operation.

The 3rd layer refers to the on-device application of AI, including application-level AI like photo cropping and photo rendering and the 4th layer is hybrid AI, or the synergy between on-device and cloud-based AI, demonstrating cloud-based AI capabilities on smartphones, such as Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC).

While most manufacturers focus on on-device AI applications (Layer 3) and cloud-based applications (Layer 4), HONOR’s innovative approach prioritizes these first two layers. This creates a more unified and intelligent user experience. HONOR Magic6 Pro is available for pre-order in Black and Epi Green for AED 3999. Upon purchase, consumers will get gifts worth AED 2194 including Smart Ring, HONOR Choice X5 Pro, HONOR Care+ and more. Consumers can get HONOR Magic6 Pro through the HONOR Online Store, Hihonor, Etisalat by e&, Emax, Sharaf DG & Jumbo.

This year, Samsung is bringing one of its most innovative flagship security features, Samsung Knox Vault, to Galaxy A series users for the very first time, including on the new Galaxy A55 5G and Galaxy A35 5G. A hardware-based and tamper-resistant security solution, Samsung Knox Vault offers comprehensive protection against both hardware and software attacks by constructing a secure execution environment that is physically isolated from the system’s main processor and memory. It can help protect the most critical data on a device, including lock screen credentials, such as PIN codes, passwords and patterns. Samsung Knox Vault also protects device encryption keys, encrypting users’ private data stored in the device.

One of the most trusted security platforms in the world, Samsung Knox is designed to safeguard critical information and protect against vulnerabilities with end-to-end secure hardware, real-time threat detection and collaborative protection, taking a holistic approach across the entire Galaxy ecosystem.

For even more ways to stay protected, the Galaxy A series offers Auto Blocker, an opt-in package of additional security measures. When switched on, Auto Blocker can block app installations from unauthorized sources, provide app security checks to scan for potential malware and block potentially malicious commands and software installations to your device while connected by USB cable. New Galaxy A series users will also have access to Galaxy’s Security and Privacy Dashboard, making it easier than ever to see and control what is happening to their data and withdraw any permissions whenever they choose. They can also enjoy Private Sharing (part of Quick Share), which enables the secure and encrypted sharing of private files containing important personal or financial information. To ensure confidentiality, users can control the recipient’s access permissions and the file’s expiration date, while also choosing to limit screenshots or downloads.

The new Galaxy A Series smartphones demonstrate Samsung’s commitment to ensure Galaxy devices remain secure and up-to-date for longer. With the Galaxy A55 5G and Galaxy A35 5G, users will continue to benefit from up to four generations of Android OS and One UI upgrades and five years of security updates, optimizing the lifecycle of the devices by keeping them equipped with all the latest Galaxy and Android features.

The Galaxy A55 5G and Galaxy A35 5G are fully compatible with the Galaxy ecosystem giving users a smooth and integrated experience across a range of Galaxy devices.
