HONOR restores iconic Man UTD photos with AI Upscale

Bringing 115-year-old Old Trafford memories into the 21st century

Qualcomm and HONOR showcased the capabilities of the Snapdragon 8 Elite mobile platform, as it restored the iconic photos of the first-ever football match at Old Trafford using AI Photo Upscale technology.

The HONOR Magic7 Pro served as the flagship machine to accomplish the feat. HONOR revitalized iconic, 115-year-old images of Manchester United in action inside their legendary stadium.

In case you’re wondering: Qualcomm has been Manchester United’s front-of-shirt sponsor since 2022. So, it’s a great promotional campaign altogether for the three parties involved.

In fact, the Qualcomm jersey deal was extended last year. Fans will be able to see the semiconductor company’s presence on Man UTD’s jerseys until 2029.

All in all, the HONOR Magic7 Pro restored and enhanced over 40 photographs from Old Trafford’s archives. This is thanks mainly to the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which offers a wide range of powerful AI photography features.

Aside from AI Photo Upscale, HONOR Magic7 Pro users can also benefit from AI Super Zoom, AI Enhanced Portrait, and AI Motion Sensing Capture.

For an exclusive look at the photo restoration project, here’s a quick link to the behind-the-scenes.

The curtains have finally been lifted. Though it took a while compared to previous years, Samsung has revealed when the year’s first Galaxy Unpacked will happen. And yes, as expected, the event will see the debut of the upcoming Galaxy S26 series.

Previously, rumors have suggested that Samsung is holding its next Galaxy Unpacked at a later date. Traditionally, Samsung holds the annual event towards the tail end of January. Since we’re already in February, it’s abundantly clear that the rumors were right. Now, it’s confirmed.

Samsung has officially released invites for the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked. The event is scheduled for February 25.

As expected, Samsung is bringing its next flagship, the Galaxy S26 series to the event. The brand will also update Galaxy AI for the flagship series.

As early as last year, reports have already hinted at improvements coming to the series. Right now, the biggest headline is how the upcoming Exynos 2600, which will debut with the Galaxy S26 series, is reportedly at par with Apple’s A19 Pro.

In other news, the series will supposedly retire the Plus model, which would otherwise have been the Galaxy S26+. The middle child of a flagship series is often the experimental one. Besides Samsung, Apple will reportedly sunset the iPhone Air, its own version of the middle child.

Right now, all we can do is speculate on the upcoming series. Until its arrival soon, that is. For now, stay tuned for more coverage of the series launch from GadgetMatch.
