## Honor Pioneers Google's AI Image-to-Video Generator on New Phones Honor is set to be the first to integrate Google's cutting-edge AI image-to-video technology into its smartphones, giving users a taste of the future of mobile content creation. This collaboration brings Google's Veo 2 model directly to the fingertips of Honor phone users, allowing them to transform static images into short, dynamic videos. ### The Power of Veo 2 on Honor Devices The new AI tool, powered by Google’s Veo 2 model, generates five-second videos from static images. These videos can be created in either portrait or landscape orientation. The generation process takes only a minute or two, making it a quick and easy way to add a new dimension to your photos. The feature is seamlessly integrated into the Gallery app on the new Honor phones, ensuring a user-friendly experience. However, the initial implementation focuses on simplicity. Users upload an image and rely on the AI to interpret and animate it, without the option to add text prompts. ### Exclusive Launch on Honor 400 Series The first devices to feature this innovative technology will be the Honor 400 and 400 Pro phones, launching on May 22nd. This makes Honor 400 series buyers the first to experience Google's image-to-video capabilities on a smartphone. ### Honor's Broader AI Strategy with Google Cloud This integration is part of a broader collaboration between Honor and Google Cloud. Honor has indicated that future products will incorporate even more advanced AI features, leveraging Google's Veo for video generation and Imagen for image enhancement. Eric Fang of Honor has emphasized the company's vision for mobile technology, where devices become increasingly adept at meeting user needs through AI integration. ### Imagen Integration for Enhanced Photo Editing Prior to the Veo 2 integration, Honor had already begun incorporating Google's Imagen AI model into its smartphones. This allows users to enhance and customize their photos with features like outpainting and stylization. George Zhao, CEO of Honor, highlighted the user-friendliness and power of Imagen on Vertex AI, enabling customers to effortlessly create, edit, and reimagine images directly on their smartphones. ### Looking Ahead Honor's partnership with Google Cloud signifies a commitment to pushing the boundaries of AI in mobile technology. By integrating advanced AI models like Veo 2 and Imagen, Honor aims to provide users with innovative tools for creative expression and content creation. As AI technology continues to evolve, collaborations like this will likely become increasingly common, transforming the way we interact with our smartphones and digital content.
