Honor 400 series to debut with a new AI photo-to-video tool: Here’s how it works

The Honor 400 and Honor 400 Pro, which will be officially introduced on May 22, will come with AI image-to-video capabilities. The company, through its X handle, has announced this feature, which is developed in collaboration with Google Cloud. Google recently introduced Veo 2 support for Gemini Advanced subscribers, and these Honor phones will be among the first to have Veo 2’s capabilities baked into their operating system.

The teaser video shared by Honor shows how every image in a book and on the phone starts animating to create a short video clip. This functionality would allow for the conversion of various image types, including real-life photographs, AI-generated artwork, and older pictures, into five-second short videos or moving photos. Honor highlights the ‘AI Image to Video’ feature as a central component of its OS, allowing users to generate short videos directly from their local photo gallery.

The company hints that it is one of the many AI-powered features of the Honor 400 series, and these phones will stand among the best AI camera smartphones at their respective price points. Further, we can expect more interesting teasers from the brand in the coming days leading up to the launch event on May 22, revealing the goodness of the Honor 400 series.
