Google AI Powers Up Honor's Next Smartphone Lineup

Alphabet Inc GOOG GOOGL Google will see its artificial intelligence features incorporated into upcoming Honor devices, the Chinese smartphone maker announced Wednesday. 

Honor plans to embed generative AI experiences into its new hardware, leveraging Google Cloud.

The integration would feature Google’s AI assistant Gemini and Imagen 2, a text-to-image generation tool, CNBC cited a spokesperson from Honor.

The partnership with Google allows Honor to utilize advanced generative AI features, which are challenging for individual smartphone makers to develop independently. 

In January, Samsung Electronics Co SSNLF partnered with Google Cloud to integrate Gemini Pro and Imagen 2 into its devices.

Highlighting its focus on AI, Honor introduced the Magic 6 Pro in February, featuring an AI-driven capability that enables users to open apps by simply looking at their phones. 

Meanwhile, analysts expect Apple Inc AAPL to leverage Microsoft Corp MSFT, which backed ChatGPT parent OpenAI, to upgrade Siri despite Google’s AI prowess.

Price Action: GOOGL shares traded lower by 1.08% at $175.96 at the last check Wednesday.
