HONOR 600 Series adds AI Image to Video 2.0
Turn photos into short videos
HONOR is introducing AI Image to Video 2.0 with the upcoming HONOR 600 Series.
The feature uses a unified multi-modal video generation model. It combines video creation, editing, and understanding in one system. It also supports inputs like images, video, and text.
Users can generate 3 to 8-second video clips using up to three images and natural language prompts. They can also define the first and last frames to control how scenes begin and end.
HONOR says the system improves visual consistency. It keeps subjects and scenes coherent even with complex transitions and camera movements.
The feature builds on the HONOR 400 Series. Users created over 13.4 million seconds of AI video on that device.
AI Image to Video 2.0 also includes preset templates and effects. These cover cinematic styles, transitions, and camera techniques such as bullet time and zoom effects.
The HONOR 600 Series adds a dedicated AI Button. A single press launches image-to-video generation from the gallery or supported apps like WhatsApp, Instagram, and X.
HONOR says the system also includes enhanced privacy and data security features.

Samsung introduces Flex Titanium tech for foldable displays
To debut with Samsung’s next-gen Galaxy foldable devices
Samsung has unveiled the new Flex Titanium technology for its next generation of Galaxy foldable devices.
The redesigned display structure utilizes structural and material advancements to deliver a more refined viewing experience. This included enhanced durability and reduced crease visibility.
Flex Titanium integrates two titanium-based components: a titanium-alloy film and a titanium plate. These work together to balance slimness, flexibility, and strength — all within the foldable display structure.
The new Flex Titanium technology will debut with Samsung’s next-generation Galaxy foldable devices, with details to be unveiled at Galaxy Unpacked.
Samsung said it took a new approach to structural design to create a display that provides an immersive viewing experience while withstanding everyday use for years and years.
Titanium offered the right mix to put check mark on all three factors: strength for external shock, flexibility for repeated folding, and thinness for device fit.
The titanium-alloy film is a component that supports the display from within, sitting below the OLED panel. This has a mechanical stiffness 20 times better than polymer film.
A precision rolling process makes the external material exceptionally thin, measuring roughly one-third the thickness of an average human hair.
Below the film is a robust titanium plate for tighter bonding with the display module. It eliminates air gaps between module and the adhesive on the plate through an advanced hole processing technology.

New leak reveals first look at Samsung’s wide foldable
It looks like there’s only one book-style foldable this year.
Coming in just a heartbeat, Samsung will unveil the next foldables during the upcoming Unpacked event. The spotlight, naturally, lands on the rumored wide foldable. Now, we don’t have an official look yet, but a new leak is spoiling that for us.
Leaked by Android Headlines, the upcoming foldable, purportedly named the Galaxy Z Fold 8, looks as advertised. The brand’s first wide foldable takes a few inches off the top to deliver a, literally, wide resolution for more display real estate.
There’s not much to say about the specs, but the model does have a camera setup with two shooters. It will also be available in three colorway options: black, white, and lavender. A limited-edition green variant might also make an appearance.
Among the scheduled devices this coming Unpacked, the wide foldable is the main event. Plus, the new leak reveals that a regular Fold isn’t debuting with this batch. Rather, Samsung might go all-in on the wide foldable format.
If that’s not your style, the leak also unveiled the Galaxy Z Flip 8. The new model doesn’t look different from the usual Flips that we’re used to, so it’s not a big headline.
Finally, the leak reveals the Galaxy Watch 9 and the Watch Ultra 2.
It won’t be long before we see these devices for real. Samsung has officially scheduled the next Galaxy Unpacked event for July 22.

Honor might launch the Robot Phone in August, leak says
No word on whether it’s a global or a regional launch, though.
Back in CES earlier this year, Honor unveiled the oddly shaped Robot Phone. A unique concept of a smartphone melded with an action camera, the Robot Phone teased a launch date for the third quarter of this year. Well, we’re in the third quarter now, and a new leak has teased that the one-of-a-kind phone is launching in August.
According to Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station (via GizmoChina), Honor has narrowed down August as the launch date of its new smartphone. To be clear, the leaker did not clarify whether this is a global launch or just the regional one.
It should still be an exciting time for a launch, though. The lovechild between a smartphone and an action camera comes just in time for the era of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 and the Insta360 Luna. A hybrid device scratches both itches.
Honor isn’t shy about showcasing the capabilities of the Robot Phone. Only recently, the Chinese brand showed off the first professional video shot using the new phone.
When it comes to hardware, the Robot Phone touts a 200-megapixel main camera attached to a stabilized gimbal system. If not in use, the camera folds into the device. Super Steady Video keeps the camera steady when taking shots while moving. Meanwhile, AI Object Tracking follows subjects seamlessly, making it a great tool for shooting videos in the field.
