Honor is set to launch its new Magic 7 phone, which will feature an AI assistant named Yoyo, capable of performing various tasks such as ordering coffee and managing app subscriptions.

The introduction of MagicOS 9.0, which will power the Magic 7 series smartphones, is expected by the end of the month.

Honor's partnership with Qualcomm has led to the development of MagicRing, a technology that enhances cross-device functionality and integration.

Global smartphone shipments saw a significant increase of 12% in the second quarter of 2024, totaling 288 million units, with Samsung and Apple dominating the market.

Dr. Ray Guo, CMO of Honor, highlights that the collaboration with Qualcomm aims to revolutionize user experiences in the AI era.

The integration of AI features in Honor's devices reflects a broader trend among smartphone manufacturers, including Google, Samsung, and Apple, who are leveraging generative AI to attract consumers.

MagicOS 9.0 will also introduce real-time NPU graphics rendering for mobile gaming, along with the industry's first on-device AI agent for an open ecosystem.

The Magic 7 will be equipped with Qualcomm's newly announced Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, boosting its AI capabilities.

Yoyo, the AI assistant, is designed to learn user habits over time, enabling it to make personalized recommendations, such as coffee preferences.

In addition to coffee ordering, Yoyo can assist with various tasks including trip planning, ticket booking, calendar scheduling, and file transfers.

Yoyo's functionalities extend to managing subscriptions by identifying active auto-renewals and facilitating cancellations.
