At the IFA Berlin 2024 event, Honor debuted a bunch of new hardware like the Magic V3, the MagicPad 2 tablet, and the MagicBook Art 14 laptop. Earlier today, the brand separately showcased its AI-based solutions for both its laptops and mobile devices. In total, the brand has showcased three mobile AI solutions: AI PC powered by Snapdragon X Elite platforms, AI Agent, and AI Deepfake Detection.
The key focus here is Honor’s AI Agent, which is a personal assistant for Honor smartphones.
