Global technology brand HONOR has announced the introduction of the Circle to Search feature on its flagship HONOR Magic V3, the world’s thinnest and lightest AI foldable smartphone, as well as on the HONOR 200 Series. This new enhancement aims to provide users with a superior search experience, utilising the latest advancements in AI technology for effortless information retrieval.
CEO of HONOR George Zhao commented on the significance of AI in daily life: “Enhancements in AI are transforming the way we work, learn, shop, create, and interact with our devices. Our smartphones have become essential for seeking information, whether it’s for translation assistance, homework help, or discovering more about captivating images on social media.”
With Circle to Search, users can easily search for text, images, or videos by circling, highlighting, scribbling, or tapping directly on their screens, eliminating the need to switch between apps. This feature enhances convenience and allows users to explore what inspires them effortlessly.
HONOR’s commitment to building a comprehensive and responsible AI ecosystem remains strong, as the company prioritises AI development through continuous research and collaboration with industry partners. Earlier this year, HONOR unveiled its Four-layer AI Architecture, aiming for industry-wide adoption and benefiting consumers globally. The brand’s hybrid AI strategy combines on-device and cloud capabilities while prioritising user data security and privacy.
Unveiled at IFA 2024, the HONOR Magic V3 showcases several pioneering AI features, including AI Eraser, Face to Face Translation, and HONOR Notes tools, catering to productivity needs.
