Honor’s new phones feature AI video technology that turns still images into moving clips using Google’s latest Veo 2 engine.
These tools will launch exclusively on the Honor 400 and Honor 400 Pro smartphones, releasing next week on May 22.
With this feature, users can generate five-second video clips from photos in either portrait or landscape mode.
Additionally, the tool lives inside the default Gallery app, requiring no separate download or installation.
Although the process takes one or two minutes per clip, the results vary depending on the image content.
For example, a clear pet or human photo often produces impressively lifelike animation.
However, the results aren’t always predictable, especially with complex or unusual subjects.
At times, the AI adds surreal or bizarre elements to videos without warning or explanation.
For instance, one user watched a ghostly hand interact with fresh tomatoes in a confusing display.
In another case, the tool turned a static soccer image into a chaotic match with three teams.
Even a famous portrait was altered strangely — a pigeon emerged from Van Gogh’s painted eye.
Despite the oddities, many early users appreciate the fun and creativity the tool can offer.
Honor’s new phones feature AI video generation completely free for the first two months.
However, there’s a limit of ten videos per day during the free access period.
Later, the feature will likely require a paid subscription, though pricing hasn’t been confirmed yet.
According to Honor officials, Google will eventually manage the subscription model and access terms.
Meanwhile, Google’s Veo 2 technology already supports video generation using text prompts under its premium services.
Currently, image-based video creation is available only to select approved users in Google’s cloud platform.
There, businesses pay 50 cents for every second of generated video output, according to official documentation.
Honor’s new phones feature AI video tools that simplify content creation for everyday users and enthusiasts alike.
