HONOR continues to set the bar with innovative AI and user-first features with its Magic7 Pro
As smartphones continue to evolve, AI features are becoming an integral part of the user experience. Brands are constantly striving to stand out by introducing new technology and meaningful upgrades.
The HONOR Magic7 Pro is a prime example of this innovation, delivering cutting-edge AI capabilities that go beyond the expected. With a strong focus on AI advancements and user privacy, HONOR provides a compelling option for those seeking more than just minor enhancements.
AI User Experience
One of the standout AI features HONOR introduced is AI Magic Portal, which allows users to draw a circle around an object they want to search for and instantly retrieve results. This feature enables users to not only search but also drag objects into booking, navigation, or messaging apps for a seamless and intuitive experience.
Another innovative feature from HONOR is the Magic Capsule, which allows users to display key information such as notifications, music, and routines directly on the lock screen. Enhancing convenience further, Magic Capsule supports eye-tracking, making it easier for users to interact with their devices hands-free.
One of the biggest concerns for smartphone users today is accessibility to AI features. HONOR remains committed to offering advanced AI capabilities without additional costs, ensuring that users can fully benefit from the latest technology without subscriptions or hidden fees.
AI Photography and Camera Capabilities
AI-powered cameras play a crucial role in improving photo quality by enhancing motion detection, zoom functionality, and scene optimization, allowing users to capture the perfect shot in any scenario.
The HONOR Magic7 Pro stands out with its AI Super Zoom and AI Motion Sensing Capture, delivering sharper, faster, and more detailed photos, particularly in dynamic or long-distance shots. These AI-driven enhancements ensure that users can capture high-quality images effortlessly.
AI Capabilities Others Missed
Some of the AI features introduced by HONOR have yet to be adopted by any other brand, indicating that HONOR is leading the way and thinking ahead when it comes to AI in devices. For example, HONOR has been always dedicated to advancing on-device AI while prioritisinguser privacy and data security.
A prime example of this is the AI Deepfake Detection technology, designed to protect users from deepfake scams—especially during video calls. This technology works directly on the device to ensure privacy, reinforcing HONOR's dedication to responsible AI solutions.
Additionally, HONOR has introduced eye-tracking technology, enabling users to interact with their phones hands-free. With this feature, users can open notifications, scroll, and navigate apps using only their eye movements, further enhancing accessibility and convenience.
With the rapid advancements in AI-driven smartphone technology, users are becoming more discerning about the upgrades that truly matter. Many long-time smartphone users are now choosing to hold onto their devices, waiting for meaningful software and hardware innovations rather than upgrading to models that offer only incremental improvements.

Android Circuit: Galaxy Z Fold7 Details, Honor Magic V5 Previewed, OnePlus Nord 5 Arrives
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 Taking a look back at this week's news and headlines across the Android world, including Galaxy Z Fold7 specs, Pixel 10 Pro features leak, Galaxy S26 benchmarking, OnePlus Nord 5 released, Poco F7 debuts, Honor promises record-breaking Magic V5, and Google Photos' upgrade. Android Circuit is here to remind you of a few of the many discussions around Android in the last seven days. You can also read my weekly digest of Apple news here on Forbes. Galaxy Z Fold's Practical Upgrade Samsung has revealed details of the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold7 on three occasions in the last three weeks, and it may not be done yet. Nevertheless, new details on the specs are coming out alongside the official teasers. One of those regards the cover screen of the foldable and how practical the Fold 7 will be when closed: "This is good news and precisely what Fold users, myself included, have been calling for since rivals OnePlus and Google launched their wider-screened foldable phones. As exciting as that design shift will be, it was expected. I thought Samsung would make this change immediately after the Fold 6 launched last summer." (Forbes). Pixel 10's New Camera Feature Google looks set to make a switch with its macro photography option for the Pixel 10 family by moving the feature from the ultrawide hardware into the telephoto hardware. It's an approach used by other manufacturers, leading to improved close-up images: "Telephoto sensors are typically better, optics-wise, than the ultrawide sensor. Providing a better quality image on macro. Additionally, using the telephoto sensor means you can be further away from the subject, which is great for capturing insects. But it also means that you and the camera won't be blocking the light. Keep in mind that macro photography does need a good bit of light to produce a good image." (Android Headlines). Galaxy S26 Ready To Challenge The iPhone 17 Looking further ahead to next year's Galaxy S26 family, new details have leaked on the potential performance of the Snapdragon Elite 2 chipset earmarked for the South Korean flagship. The numbers match the single-core numbers of Apple's upcoming A19 Pro, and show a significant lead in multi-core performance: "The Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip is rumored to be fabricated on TSMC's third-generation 3nm process node. Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) has posted the chip's preliminary CPU performance results on Weibo. The chip's octa-core CPU reportedly scores over 11,000 points in Geekbench 6's multi-core CPU performance test and over 4,000 points in the single-core CPU performance test." (SamMobile). OnePlus Nord 5 Revealed OnePlus has confirmed a launch date of July 8 for the latest Nord phone, the OnePlus Nord 5. Alongside it, OnePlus also revealed the OnePlus CE5 OnePlus Pad Lite, OnePlus Watch 3, and OnePlus Buds 4. As the Nord 5 is squarely in the flagship-killer category, OnePlus will be balancing performance with price, none more so than in the choice of processor. It has stepped back to last year's flagship Snapdragon, which should offer capability while keeping the cost relatively low: "The Nord 5 is the latest in the company's mid-range smartphone line, and is the first Nord to feature a flagship Qualcomm chip — in this case the Snapdragon 8S Gen 3, which was designed for cheaper flagship phones — along with an upgraded cooling system and support for LPDDR5X RAM. That's all we know about the phone's specs, but from the picture we can glean that it'll come in a pale blue finish (officially dubbed 'Dry Ice') and features a dual rear camera." (The Verge). Poco F7 Debuts Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 We already knew that the F7 would ship with 12 GB of memory, presumably backed up by various storage levels and a 6,000 mAh battery. As well as confirming a release date of June 24, Poco has announced the F7 will ship with the leading Snapdragon 8 chipset: "Poco has been drip-feeding us with information about the Poco F7, which will be unveiled on June 24. The brand previously revealed its battery size (7,550 mAh) and charging speed (90W), and yesterday, it gave us our first official look at the smartphone. Today, Poco confirmed that the F7 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 SoC." (GSM Arena). Honor Teases Record Breaking Foldable Honor has confirmed that its next foldable will launch on July 2nd in the Chinese market. Previous Magic V handsets have had an international launch a few months after China, and we'd expect the same to happen here. We're also expecting the push for innovation and records to continue in the V5: "Honor has suggested that its new foldable will depart from the current Magic V3 with a more powerful chipset, PC-level productivity and a design that is thinner than the Oppo Find N5 while also being lighter than the Vivo X Fold5." (Notebook Check). And Finally... Following hints at the new features in Google Photos, a deep dive into the pre-release APKs by the Android Authority team has revealed more about the features. No tools have been removed; they are laid out in a more logical fashion, many of the AI tools are now under Auto, and several new additions are included: "The 'Filters' section is also getting some love. A new 'Sky styles' option lets you choose from dramatic skyline effects like Luminous, Radiant, Vivid, Ember, and more. Google has also made a minor visual tweak to the filter selection tray, making it more intuitive to adjust filter strength." (Android Authority).

New images of ‘world's thinnest foldable' show what the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is up against
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 will face stiff competition when it arrives next month as we get a better look at the Honor Magic V5, with official images of the soon-to-be world's thinnest foldable phone. The battle for the best folding phone of the year is intensifying. We've already had the Motorola Razr 2025, Razr Ultra, and the super slender Oppo Find N5, but things are reaching fever pitch with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 expected to arrive in the coming weeks. Recommended Videos But that's not before the Honor Magic V5 arrives on the scene on July 2. Honor has already confirmed the V5 will be the world's thinnest foldable, nabbing the crown from the Find N5, and the images posted to its Weibo account give us a closer look at its svelte side profile. There is one elephant in the room when looking at these images though, the camera bump. Don't expect Honor to be taking into account this sizable protrusion when it talks millimetres come the launch on July 2. It's highly likely we'll be given the dimensions of the thinnest part of the handset. While that may feel a little disingenuous, it's common practice for smartphone manufacturers to take the thinnest part of their products when flaunting these impressive specs. So while the Magic V5 will be chunkier than the advertised thickness around the camera, it's still set to be a foldable with head-turning attraction. Game on Honor isn't the only one hyping up its upcoming foldable, as Samsung has been heavily teasing the Galaxy Z Fold 7 in recent weeks as well. Samsung is billing is upcoming handset as its 'thinnest, lightest and most advanced foldable yet', with rumors suggesting it has a significant design overhaul in the works. Its current foldable, the Galaxy Z Fold 6, is portly in comparison to the competition from Honor, Oppo, and Google – measuring 12.1mm folded. To be the world's thinnest foldable, the Honor Magic V5 will need to be under 8.9mm (the thickness of the Find N5). We've seen reports from SamMobile and Android Headlines suggesting Samsung could get the thickness of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 down to around 9mm, which would be a marked improvement. And while the Magic V5 might be thinner, it's unlikely to be available in the US – giving Samsung a clear shot at winning over foldable fans. Via Android Authority
