HONOR at IFA 2022: Everything you need to be excited about
Better devices and technology, coming soon!
HONOR has just hosted its keynote at IFA 2022. Entitled “Embracing the Connected Future,” HONOR laid out its plans. A Dual Flagship Strategy, a preview of MagicOS 7.0, an intelligent collaboration OS, and more.
Dual flagship strategy
For the first time, HONOR is introducing its foldable smartphones to international markets. Together with an all-around flagship smartphone, the foldable will also make its way to Europe and other regions around the world.
Joining the announcement is the unveiling of MagicOS 7.0, a new OS designed to provide a seamless experience. It’s based on Android as well as PC and IoT operating systems, allowing devices running a different OS to connect to MagicOS devices at a system level.
The OS will also allow users to control an HONOR laptop, smartphone, and tablet with just a single keyboard and a mouse. Moreover, it will come with functional features that will make your connected experience efficient. MagicOS 7.0 will be officially announced later in 2022.
Commitment to cross-device functionality
HONOR is expanding its partnership with Microsoft, bringing Phone Link to international HONOR device users. The feature was previously available to HONOR device users in China alone.
In case you’re unfamiliar with Phone Link, it connects select HONOR smartphones to Windows PCs, enabling the ability to view notifications, make and receive calls, and use mobile apps on Windows.
Currently, the HONOR Magic4 Pro is the first international HONOR smartphone to support the feature. The HONOR 70 will support Phone Link as well, after an OTA update.
A vlogging smartphone
Taking the lead in bolstering HONOR’s product portfolio is the HONOR 70. The latest addition to HONOR’s high-end N series, which is also the successor of the HONOR 50, debuts as a masterpiece device for vlogging enthusiasts.
It’s a stylish device with video-centric features such as Solo Cut mode, Person Re-identification technology, and Dual Video streaming. It also takes pride in its 54-megapixel Sony IMX800 Super Sensing camera with a large 1/1.49-inch sensor.
The HONOR 70 will be available in select European markets. It will retail for EUR 549 for the 8GB/128GB variant, and EUR 599 for the 8GB/256GB variant.
Powerhouse notebook
Joining HONOR’s expanding product portfolio is the all-new HONOR MagicBook 14. It’s the first HONOR laptop that features an OS Turbo, delivering significant upgrades in battery life and power efficiency.
It runs on a 12th-gen Intel Core i5-12500H processor, with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 dedicated graphics card, and supports a 75Wh battery that promises up to 17 hours of battery life.
It’s slated to arrive in select European markets by September 18, 2022, with pre-orders starting September 2, 2022. The Honor MagicBook 14 without the dedicated graphics card retails for EUR 1099, while the RTX-infused ones cost EUR 1299.
Premium-looking tablet
Completing the brand’s global product portfolio is the HONOR Pad 8. It’s an affordable, well-rounded tablet that caters to productivity and entertainment needs of students and young professionals.
It sports a 12-inch 2K FullView display, with eight built-in loudspeakers for a promise of an immersive multimedia experience. It also runs on Magic UI 6.1 with Google Play services.
The HONOR Pad 8 is also arriving in select European markets, retailing for EUR 329 [4GB/128GB] and EUR 349 [6GB/128GB].
The next digital revolution
HONOR is preparing for the next digital revolution, unlocking immersive experiences and harnessing the technology through Spatial Audio, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Augmented Reality (AR).
Gateway to the Future
Unveiled during HONOR’s IFA keynote session, “Gateway to the Future” is HONOR Talents’ initiative to enrich cultural heritage through the power of technology.
The company collaborated with ARLOOPA to challenge two renowned artists — Yunuene and Timo Helgert — to reimagine the iconic Wasserschloss building located in Hamburg’s Speicherstadt, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Spatial Audio
HONOR comes with a Spatial Audio solution to allow headphones to produce wide, cinematic 3D sound effects. It aims to create the sense of immersion required for AR and VR experiences.
The solution delivers surround sound by using the accelerometer and gyroscopes in earbuds to track the motion of the user’s head, ultimately remapping the sound field.
Applications for Interactive AR artwork category
HONOR has also introduced a dedicated Interactive AR Artwork category as part of its HONOR Talents global design competition.
The contestants are invited to produce digital AR artworks, aiming to transform their neighborhoods including digital overlays for buildings, walls, parks, and other public spaces. For artists interested in the contest, get more information here.

Computex 2026
GIGABYTE to focus on end-to-end AI infrastructure, deployment at COMPUTEX 2026
Showcase to highlight how production AI is implemented, used on real-world scenarios
GIGABYTE has announced its showcase for COMPUTEX 2026, centering on the theme “Future Landing.”
Moving away from conceptual AI training models, the company’s exhibit next month will focus strictly on the immediate implementation, scaling, and real-world operation of production AI infrastructure.
According to the company, the exhibit addresses a major industry shift: the transition of AI from development phases into large-scale inference and physical operation.
Visitors can expect an interactive breakdown of the AI infrastructure lifecycle, structured into three distinct zones: Ready, Deployable, and Happening.
The “Ready” phase highlights fully validated systems simulated at GAIFA (GIGABYTE AI Factory Accelerator), the company’s dedicated facility in Taiwan.
To demonstrate rapid scalability, the “Deployable” section will feature modular, prefabricated infrastructure units that integrate compute, cooling, and power, all managed via the proprietary GIGABYTE Pod Manager (GPM) software.
Lastly, the “Happening” zone will showcase live, practical applications of physical AI and localized healthcare inference. Attendees can observe a live “real-to-sim-to-real” automation pipeline showing how AI models move from virtual simulation into active robotic systems.
GIGABYTE will also demonstrate point-of-care medical AI running locally, including real-time polyp detection and bone marrow analysis.
In addition to the primary enterprise infrastructure booth (first floor), GIGABYTE will operate a secondary exhibit on the fourth floor.
This dedicated space will showcase edge and end-user applications, specifically highlighting its AI TOP series. This demonstrates how the company’s hardware scales down from massive data center architectures to deskside deployments.
The GIGABYTE booths can be visited from June 2 to 5, 2026 at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center (Hall 1):
- 1F K0802 (Enterprise)
- 4F M0520 (Consumer)
Motorsport has a flair for dramatic arrivals. When a new car rolls onto the track, the design alone can tell you it means business.
The Infinix NOTE 60 Ultra makes that kind of entrance at Mobile World Congress 2026.
Created with Italian automotive design house Pininfarina, the flagship pairs a supercar-inspired aesthetic with premium features including a 200MP camera system, satellite calling, and immersive JBL-tuned sound.
The result is a device that positions itself as more than just another NOTE series upgrade — it’s Infinix stepping onto the flagship grid.
Supercar-inspired design
Co-developed with legendary Italian design firm Pininfarina, the NOTE 60 Ultra takes heavy inspiration from high-performance sports cars.
The phone introduces what Infinix calls the world’s first Uni-Chassis Cam Module. Instead of the typical camera bump, the camera system sits beneath a single sheet of Corning Gorilla Glass Victus that flows seamlessly across the rear. The result is a smooth aluminum unibody design that maintains a clean silhouette while improving durability and pocketability.
Infinix says the design mirrors the aerodynamic philosophy of supercars, prioritizing smooth surfaces and uninterrupted lines.
Adding to the automotive inspiration is a Floating Taillight signature on the back that lights up when the device powers on. A hidden Active Matrix Display also appears during startup, echoing the digital dashboards seen in modern sports cars. The small display can show notifications, icons, or even a pixel-style companion.
The NOTE 60 Ultra comes in four Italian-inspired finishes: Torino Black, Monza Red, Amalfi Blue, and Roma Silver.
Flagship imaging system
Despite the flush camera design, the NOTE 60 Ultra still packs a powerful imaging setup.
At the center is a 200MP Samsung ISOCELL HPE sensor designed to deliver ultra-high-resolution photos with improved detail and clarity. It is paired with a 50MP Samsung ISOCELL JN5 periscope telephoto lens and a 112-degree ultra-wide camera.
The system supports a versatile zoom range, starting with a 2x optical crop, extending to 3.5x optical zoom, and reaching 7x lossless digital zoom, with up to 100x zoom for distant subjects.
Infinix also introduces support for the XDR display standard with Ultra HDR Capture, powered by a proprietary XDR Image Engine. The system aims to preserve highlights and shadows more accurately, especially in challenging lighting scenarios like night scenes or sunsets.
Connectivity beyond cellular networks
Another headline feature is two-way satellite communication.
The NOTE 60 Ultra supports both satellite calling and messaging, allowing users to stay connected even in areas without traditional cellular coverage. The feature can also enable emergency location sharing during disasters or when traveling through remote regions.
According to Infinix, the system offers coverage across a broader number of countries compared to typical satellite messaging implementations.
Big battery, fast charging
Powering the device is a 7000mAh silicon-carbon battery, paired with Infinix’s new Battery Self-Healing Technology. The company claims the system can restore up to 1 percent of battery health every 200 charge cycles, potentially helping maintain long-term battery performance.
Charging is equally fast, with support for 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. Infinix says the device can charge from 1 to 100 percent in around 48 minutes via wired charging.
The phone runs on a 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultimate chipset, which Infinix claims delivers up to 25 percent faster multitasking alongside improved app responsiveness.
Display, audio, and AI features
On the front is a 1.5K Ultra HDR display with a 144Hz refresh rate and up to 4500 nits peak brightness. The panel also features predictive stabilization designed to reduce motion discomfort when watching videos or gaming while in motion.
For audio, the phone includes stereo speakers tuned by JBL.
The NOTE 60 Ultra runs XOS 16 based on Android 16, introducing a new interface called GlowSpace. The software integrates several AI-powered tools including personalized file organization, adaptive knowledge features, and an Advanced Health Monitor capable of real-time vitals tracking.
Availability
The Infinix NOTE 60 Ultra will be available with 12GB RAM and two storage options – 256GB and 512GB, along with built-in eSIM support.
It will ship with three years of major Android updates and five years of security patches.
Infinix will also bundle a deluxe gift box that includes a supercar-inspired MagCharge stand, Kevlar MagPad, custom Kevlar MagCase, and a track-edition SIM ejector pin.
