Honor, a Chinese technology company, has launched its new flagship smartphone, the Honor Magic 6 Pro, globally at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024 in Barcelona. The phone features an innovative eye-tracking AI function that allows users to control their car remotely by just looking at their phone screen. The phone also boasts a powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, a 180 MP telephoto camera, and a 5,600 mAh battery.
Eye-Tracking AI: A Revolutionary Feature
One of the most impressive features of the Honor Magic 6 Pro is the eye-tracking AI function, which uses a 3D depth camera and a Magic Capsule on the top of the screen to track the user’s eye movements and gestures. The function can be used to perform tasks such as opening notifications, switching apps, and adjusting the volume by just looking at the screen. The function can also be used to remotely open and move a car that is compatible with the Honor Magic Link app. The user can simply look at the car icon on the screen and then look at the direction they want the car to move. The function is already available in China and Honor is working to bring it to other markets soon.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3: A Powerful Performance
