Honor is making a splash at MWC 2022 in Barcelona, Spain with the announcement of their brand new flagship — the Honor Magic4 series. It featured two smartphones — the Honor Magic4 and Honor Magic4 Pro.

Launching alongside the series are the Honor Watch GS 3 and Honor Earbuds 3 Pro.

Honor Magic4 series

Honor took its time before fully emerging from the dust brought about by its divorce from Huawei. It relaunched softly with the Honor 50 but is now fully ready to take on the world again with the Honor Magic4 series.

This flagship set features a symmetrical design, enhanced visual experience, superior performance, and outstanding photography and videography capabilities. That’s a tall order of promises and Honor aims to not disappoint.

For performance, both phones are equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip flanked by 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. Honor also put its own ingredient in the mix adding Honor Turbo Engines to maximize the capability of the chipset. There’s also the Honor OS Turbo X which the company says improves fluency, anti-aging, and power consumption.

Logitech introduces a dedicated shortcut for ChatGPT

Compatible with most keyboards and mice

Artificial intelligence is already meant to simplify a workflow. However, despite the ease, there are still a few ways to optimize the process. Today, Logitech has launched a new shortcut to launch ChatGPT straight from your mouse or keyboard.

Minus programmable hotkeys or buttons, there are hardly any built-in way to easily access an AI model. For a typical workflow, it still consists of manually opening the model on a separate window and keeping it within cursor’s reach throughout the day.

Logitech is simplifying the process by adding a dedicated shortcut for its devices. With a Logitech keyboard or mouse supported by the Logi Options+ app, users can program a keyboard or mouse button for the new Logi AI Prompt Builder.

Once activated, the AI Prompt Builder automatically accesses easy options for highlighted text. For example, users can easily rephrase or summarize the text. Likewise, they can input their own custom queries. By eliminating a few clicks and some typing throughout the day, the new tool hopes to save you time.

While most Logitech keyboards and mice are compatible with the new tool, it is also more easily accessible with the new Logitech Signature AI Edition Mouse. The new mouse has a dedicated button just for AI prompts. If you’re an AI power user, this one is perfect for you.

The gaming keyboard is available in White, Black, and Magenta and retails for PhP 10,955. Customers may also choose between two GX Optical Switches configurations: tactile and linear. These upgraded switches boast faster and more precise actuation, as well as increased durability. The G Pro X 60 has a distinct design, with the keys quite elevated from the keyboard base.

As the model name suggests, the new offering is also the first Logitech product to boast of a 60% keyboard form factor. This portable keyboard allows users to have more space for dynamic mouse movements compared to full-sized keyboards.

The innovative Keycontrol feature, meanwhile, lets users assign up to 15 various shortcuts and combinations per key. Gamers will benefit from being able to tailor the keys specifically to their needs by customizing the keyboard keys with commonly used commands and audio and lighting effects.

The gaming keyboard also comes with Lightsync RGB. Users may choose from about 16.8 million colors and customize each key’s individual color. Connectivity-wise, users may use the keyboard via Bluetooth, USB, and 2:1 pairing with a PRO gaming mouse.
