Set to launch on MagicOS 9.0, the AI Agent provides unparalleled convenience and ushers in the era of Autopilot AI.

AI-Empowered Hardware: On-Device Generative AI in Gaming

The Magic7 Series will bring on-device generative AI to gaming powered by NPU computing and introduce the industry’s first real-time AI graphics rendering for mobile gaming. HONOR’s solution reduces GPU load compared to other smartphones, leading to lower device temperatures and a better gaming experience with higher image quality.

Seamless AI: MagicRing Empowering the Snapdragon Ecosystem

HONOR demonstrated how its MagicRing technology empowers the ecosystem across a range of products, apps, and services. MagicRing makes the multi-device AI experience easier, with its secure and smooth flow of services and information across devices.
