I Converted My Photos Into Short Videos With AI on Honor's Latest Phones. It's Weird
1 min read
Summary
Google has integrated its Veo image-to-video AI generator based on the company’s Veo 2 model to two new phones from Chinese manufacturer Honor, the Honor 400 and the 400 Pro, creating a new type of feature phone.
The AI generator is built into Honor’s Gallery app and can convert still images into short videos, with a choice of portrait or landscape aspect ratios.
Using the AI generator is easy, but the results are variable in quality, and it sometimes produces somewhat eerie results.
Photography is becoming an important selling point for phone manufacturers, and Google has been at the forefront of AI innovation in phone imaging, pioneering features such as AI eraser and AI-enhanced zoom, which are now becoming more widespread.
Honor is increasingly focusing on AI, and its phones now feature powerful AI cameras, with the 400 Pro sporting a 200-megapixel main shooter, a 50-megapixel telephoto lens, a 12-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a 50-MP selfie camera.
