Develop AI Device Ecosystem with Google and Qualcomm
Honor is rebranding itself as an "AI device ecosystem company" and working on a new type of intelligent smartphone that will feature "purpose-built, human-centric AI designed to maximize human potential."The company's new CEO, James Li, announced the move at MWC 2025, calling on the smartphone industry to "co-create an open, value-sharing AI ecosystem that maximizes human potential, ultimately benefiting all mankind." Honor's Alpha plan consists of three steps, each catering to a different 'era' of AI, including developing a "super intelligent" smartphone, creating an AI ecosystem, and co-existing with carbon-based life and silicon-based intelligence.
- This ambitious effort may be the key to unlocking a future where AI is not just a tool, but an integral part of our daily lives, with smartphones serving as hubs for personalized AI-powered experiences.
- As Honor looks to redefine the smartphone industry around AI, how will its focus on co-creation and collaboration influence the balance between human innovation and machine intelligence?
