While the company didn't reveal any other specifications of the Honor Magic 7 series, its upcoming handsets appear to be designed to utilise the AI-related performance improvements on the new Snapdragon chipset.
According to Honor, the Magic 7 series will offer access to an open ecosystem that uses an on-device AI agent dubbed Autopilot AI that can perform simple or complex tasks, such as placing an order with a restaurant, booking tickets, organising notifications, or automatically unsubscribing a user from various services — the company says that users will be able to trigger these actions using a voice command.
For users who play resource intensive games on their smartphones, the Honor Magic 7 series will offer support for real time AI graphics rendering, which is claimed to offer better image quality, while lowering the load on the phone's GPU.
