How Honor’s AI chip enables you to be more creative with your photos

Honor is one of the first companies in the world to release a phone with a chipset inside that features its own artificial intelligence to make everyday tasks faster and easier.

The Honor View10 comes boasting the Kirin 970 chipset that has a game changing new idea that builds an AI directly into the phone so it can better predict the way you’ll use your device and optimise it better you even begin a task.

It all works through an NPU – that’s a whole new part of the processor that sits alongside the GPU and CPU – that uses high-end machine learning algorithms to work out what you’re likely to do next.

The automatic mode on the camera uses the AI algorithms for both real-time scene and object recognition. It’ll then change the settings on your camera to give you the best shot possible.

For example, the camera can notice you’re taking a picture of a plate of food and will change the settings to the optimum mode so you don’t have to.

There are 13 different scenarios on the Honor View10 so it’ll notice when you’re taking photos of cats, dogs, portraits, landscapes and even shooting at night.

By using this feature, it means you don’t have to play around with the camera settings and you know you’re always going to be getting the best shot possible as long as you’re shooting one of the provided scenarios.

Auto-focus on the Honor View10 also utilises the power of its artificially intelligent brains. Motion detection on the camera means it can use the same algorithms to monitor what’s going on and ensure it captures the right moment.

That should mean much less blurry photos when you’re taking shots of moving objects and it’ll allow you to be far more creative with your shooting and not have to worry about whether your photos will be in focus.

The Honor View10 pricing starts at £449.99.
