HONOR evolves into an AI ecosystem firm

According to the company, this platform is designed to integrate over 20,000 AI services by the end of 2026—a move aiming to transform HONOR from a smartphone manufacturer to a global AI ecosystem leader.

HONOR's President of Products, Fang Fei, and EVP of Partnerships, as well as Content and Devices at Orange Innovation, Philippe Lucas, discussed the convergence of AI, devices, and connectivity at the opening of the ConnectAI panel.

HONOR explains its AI capabilities to partners and is expanding into new categories such as education, smart home, audio, pet tech, and toys.

According to HONOR, the upgraded AI Connect platform enables a unified experience through a personal digital twin that moves seamlessly across phones, cars, homes, and service robots. This shift is powered by distributed technology, which decouples hardware into specialized peripherals and makes AI entry points ubiquitous across everyday contexts.
