With the upcoming launch of the HONOR 400 Series, HONOR introduces a feature that feels like magic and works like art: the industry-leading “AI Image to Video.” Part of the powerful AI Creative Editor suite, this innovation is poised to completely change the way we interact with our photo galleries.

With the introduction of the “AI Image to Video” feature in the HONOR 400 Series, everyday photos are transformed into emotionally rich, animated stories—offering a wide range of possibilities for both casual users and creative storytellers.

If you have old pictures, this tool can make them feel alive. A black-and-white photo of your grandparents could show their smiles gently moving, bringing back a memory from many years ago. Pet lovers will enjoy it too—a photo of your dog sleeping might show their chest rising and falling, as if they’re really there. It’s also a great feature for parents and creative people. Your child’s drawing of a rocket can be brought to life with little flames or clouds of smoke, making it fun and exciting.

Travelers will love turning vacation photos into mini movies. A picture of the Northern Lights in Iceland could actually move and glow. A city photo from Paris or Tokyo might show soft lights turning on or cars passing by, bringing the scene back to life.

Imagine taking a selfie on your balcony during sunset. With this feature, your hair might move softly in the breeze, and the city lights in the background start to glow. A nighttime photo of fireworks in Dubai could show the lights flickering and bursting, just like the real moment. Even a simple group photo with friends becomes more special when the faces start to move just a little—making the memory feel alive again.

Whether your photo is shot in landscape or portrait orientation, the tool supports both 16:9 and 9:16 aspect ratios, so you can optimize your final video for social media, stories, reels, or your own collection of animated memories.

The best part? From May 15 to August 31, the feature is entirely free to use. Each user can generate up to 10 videos per day, allowing for generous experimentation. Whether you’re putting together a birthday montage, crafting a creative post for social media, or simply playing around with your favorite photos, this tool is here to serve both casual creators and visual storytellers. After the promotional window, charges may apply, but this is a golden opportunity to explore what’s possible and turn your photographs into incredible animations. With the HONOR 400 Series, creativity is no longer limited to the moment a photo is taken.

Sonos is tackling the growing issue of inaudible dialogue in TV and movies with its newly updated Speech Enhancement feature. Launching today via a free software update for the Arc Ultra soundbar, the system offers four adjustable levels of dialogue clarity, including a setting specifically designed for individuals with hearing loss.

Recognizing the challenges posed by rushed production, poor audio mixing, and other factors, Sonos collaborated with the Royal National Institute for Deaf People (RNID) to develop a solution that truly addresses the needs of those struggling to hear on-screen conversations. Matt Benatan, Principal Research Scientist at Sonos, says: “It’s not just practical, it’s emotional. One of the most important aspects of TV and movie watching is the opportunity to bond over cultural and entertainment events that are watched in real time. If one viewer cannot fully hear the dialogue, their ability to enjoy and participate in the moment can be lost.”

“By implementing machine learning into our speech extraction technology, we figured out how to separate dialogue from other sounds in the center channel and clarify speech in real time,” said Harry Jones, Sound Experience Engineer at Sonos. “This lets us draw out just the dialogue at the most needed times, without overly impacting volume or taking away from the holistic cinematic experience.”

The new Speech Enhancement offers four levels: Low for subtle emphasis, Medium for better clarity with balanced sound, High for prominent dialogue with reduced background elements, and Max, a dedicated setting for hearing loss that prioritizes dialogue by further controlling the dynamic range of non-speech elements.

Developed through extensive collaboration with RNID and input from 37 participants with varying hearing abilities, the feature was tested across diverse content for nearly a year. “We wanted to ensure that Speech Enhancement would work for all, even those who might not even realize they have hearing loss,” said Lauren Ward, Lead RNID Researcher. “One in three adults in the UK experience hearing loss, and it is reported that just under one in four adults in the USA do too. This tool has the potential to impact a large number of people.”

Award-winning film sound mixer Chris Jenkins also contributed, bringing studio-level speech extraction techniques to the home while preserving the integrity of other audio elements. He lauded the feature as a “huge step forward” in addressing dialogue challenges. Sonos emphasized the central role of user feedback in the development process, ensuring the AI-powered feature delivers a nuanced and effective solution for clearer TV audio.
