Honor, a smartphone brand, has announced its Internet of Things (IoT) Smart-Home strategy to provide a seamless experience across a wide range of in-house devices. The company also unveiled PocketVision, an AI-enabled app which helps the visually impaired read documents and other text with ease. The new strategy and solution were unveiled at IFA 2019 in Germany. During the event, Honor’s latest flagship smartphone, the Honor 20 Pro also received new updates including a software upgrade to the new EMUI 10 and the option of a new color — Icelandic Frost.
Honor outlined its IoT strategy dubbed “1+8+N,” which implies one Honor smartphone, eight categories of in-house devices and a wide range of accompanying products from its partners.
“Honor is a tech brand loved by young people all over the world, and we aspire to stay top-of-mind as the tech-chic brand that enables and empowers young people to pursue their passions,” said Chris Sun Baigong, president of Honor Middle East Africa. “Armed with best-in-class software and hardware, Honor is well-positioned in developing a wide portfolio of innovative products, including smartphones and smart-home devices, for our consumers and people from different communities.
