But the nuances of how it’ll work aren’t clear yet! We will have to wait for Honor Magic 6’s release to find out more about this feature.

YOYO Assistant

Moreover, the CEO also mentioned that the Magic 6 will have a new virtual assistant. Powered by a large language model (LLM), the YOYO assistant reportedly uses the Snapdragon AI chip (basically the NPU) for in-house processing.

Some of the features mentioned in the summit include adjusting templates, themes, and music with voice prompts. Plus, the AI can also create a short montage from photos and videos in your storage with a command.

OmniVison Camera Sensors

A popular leakster, Digital Chat Station (DCS) has come with the main camera detail. The Weibo post mentions an OmniVision OV50K primary shooter, with the Magic 6 being the first one to house it. Speculations are pointing to a 1-inch sensor size. Details about the other cameras are still inside the curtain as of now.

Honor Magic Expected Launch Date:

Apart from the teaser, we didn’t exactly get a date for the Honor Magic 6… However, from previous releases, we expect it to be released within the first half of 2024.
