Imagine a world where fake images, videos, and even audio clips are hard to tell apart from the real deal. Sounds a bit scary, right? Well, it’s already here with Deepfake technology! But on the good side, many companies these days are developing technology that can detect this AI threat. In this article, we will be discussing AI Deepfake Detection Technology from Honor.
Honor’s AI Deepfake Detection Overview
What is Deepfake?
For those who are not familiar with this term, Deepfakes is a technology that uses AI to create super realistic but totally fake content. And while it can be fun in some cases, it’s a growing problem, with businesses and individuals being affected every day. Honor, the smartphone brand, sees this as a serious issue and is stepping up to help.
What’s the deal with Honor’s Deepfake Detection?
As the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona (MWC) is coming near, Honor has announced it will demo its new AI Deepfake Detection feature that will be available worldwide in April 2025 under its “HONOR Alpha Plan”. This tool will help people spot fake images and videos in real-time, alerting users if something looks fishy. To be more specific, this system can catch things like weird pixel glitches, odd facial features, and even mismatched hairlines. As per the reports, it will first be available on the HONOR Magic7 Pro.
While AI is super helpful, it can also be misused. In 2024, deepfake attacks happened every five minutes, and more than half of users can’t tell the difference between content made by humans and AI. Plus, a huge 84% of AI users want content to be labeled clearly, so they can trust what they see and hear.
In fact, the deepfake detection market is expected to grow quickly; 42% each year, reaching nearly $16 billion by 2026. In between 2023 and November 2024, 49% of companies reported deep-fake-related fraud which is an increase of 224%. Businesses have been hit hard, with incidents rising by over 200% in some sectors like gaming, fintech, and crypto. But despite the growth in deepfake attacks, many companies (around 61%) aren’t doing enough to protect themselves.
Not just HONOR…
Honor is just one company working with big names like Adobe, Intel, and Microsoft to develop ways to spot fakes and protect users. Even Qualcomm is getting in on the action, offering tools that catch deepfakes while keeping your data private.
Conclusion
All in all Honor’s AI Deepfake Detection if available globally is a game-changer. Moreover, this is definitely a big notable step for the company. And the best part is it’s coming just in time to fight back against the rise of digital fraud.

Oppo introduced the O+ Connect with the ColorOS 15. It allows easy file sharing with iPhones and iPads. Now, the Chinese tech giant has taken a step forward for seamless connectivity on Mac devices as well with the launch of Oppo Find N5. Without further ado, let’s learn about Oppo O Plus Connect for Mac in this article.
Oppo O+ Connect for Mac Overview:
Debut with Oppo Find N5
This new handy feature goes live with the launch of Oppo Find N5, Oppo’s latest foldable with super thin body and Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC. So, if you have a Macbook or device running macOS, you can just remotely control the files on your phone. Be it copying, pasting, deleting, or moving on the go.
Plus, you can also view files without having to copy them too. And one can also use your Mac to edit files and it will seamlessly occur on the Oppo phone as well. How cool is that?
How to use Oppo O+ Connect for Mac?
First up, this feature is currently available for the Oppo Find N5 model only. So, you need to have this guy and a Mac of course, as if it wasn’t obvious already. Both devices must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network and then, you can share your photos, videos, notes, documents, and other files on the go. For instance, 100 photos can just be sent in a mere 8 seconds.
Remote Mac Control
With the Oppo O Plus Connect for Mac, your Find N5’s 8.12-inch main display can act as an external monitor for your Mac. Or interestingly, just fold this guy at 90 degrees and the top half will show macOS while the bottom part will turn into a touchpad. And you can use all those Apple touchpad gestures or, you can also leverage the bottom side as a keyboard. The choice is yours.
Not stopping only here, Oppo is also working to bring a cool feature that will allow accessing files stored on your Mac directly through the Files app. So, you no longer need to do a remote desktop connection, making it easy to copy or share files from your Mac.
O Plus Connect for Mac: Conclusion
This new O+ Connect for Mac by Oppo is a really handy feature for interconnecting the Oppo N5 and Mac devices. Since the O+ Connect feature is also available on other Oppo and OnePlus phones, we can expect that Mac compatibility may also arrive in the coming days for them. Meanwhile, the Windows integration is already there for quite some time now.
