A newsroom at MWC Shanghai Post According to, the Chinese consumer technology brand showcased new on-device AI features aimed at improving user security. For those who spend long hours staring at screens, Honor’s AI Defocus Eye Protection offers a great solution. By applying defocus glasses to the device’s display, the technology provides controlled defocus in peripheral vision, slowing down the eye lengthening associated with myopia. Initial testing shows an average of 13 degrees of loss in near vision after 25 minutes of reading, with some users experiencing a loss of up to 75 degrees.
On the other end Honor ‘s AI deepfake detection addresses the growing threat of manipulated content and online scams. The on-device feature checks factors such as eye contact, lighting consistency, image clarity, and video playback that often go unnoticed by the human eye.
This AI has been trained on a large dataset of videos and photos related to online scams. This allows it to check, screen and compare content in just three seconds. As soon as synthetic or altered content is detected, users receive an immediate red flag to protect them from potential scams.
Honor emphasizes its commitment to on-device AI, believing it is the way to provide personalized services while protecting users’ privacy. Unlike cloud-based AI that relies on remote servers, on-device AI provides data directly to the smartphone, providing more control and security for users.
Honor CEO George Zhao envisions a future where on-device AI empowers users, seamlessly integrating into their lives and enhancing their capabilities. With AI Defocus Eye Protection and AI Deepfake Detection, Honor is taking a big step in this direction by demonstrating the powerful capabilities of human-based AI.
