HONOR Calls for Open Collaboration Under New AI Ecosystem Vision

<p><b>HONOR </b>today outlined its AI ecosystem blueprint during the opening ConnectAI panel discussion at <b>Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2026</b>. HONOR unveiled its strategy to execute an open device ecosystem via the <b>HONOR AI Connect Platform</b>, which is projected to integrate more than 20,000 AI services by the end of 2026.</p><p>The strategy marks HONOR's accelerated transformation from a smartphone manufacturer into a global leading AI device ecosystem company. The core driving force is the comprehensively upgraded HONOR AI Connect Platform, which opens HONOR’s core AI capabilities to all ecosystem partners. This shift moves beyond simple connectivity toward deeply shared intelligence, aiming to create a Personal Avatar for users within a vast, cross-brand device ecosystem.</p><p>During the panel discussion, <b>Fang Fei, President of Products at HONOR</b>, was joined by Philippe Lucas，Orange Innovation Executive Vice President Partnerships, Content and Devices, for an insightful conversation about the convergence of AI, devices and connectivity. Centered around the theme of “breaking walls,” HONOR underlined its commitment to working collaboratively with partners like Orange to expand into new hardware categories including education, smart home, audio products, pets, and toys.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2026/03/honor-ai-connect-platform-mwc-2026.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Fang Fei, President of Products at HONOR" border="0" data-original-height="470" data-original-width="599" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNHSgRMzrIyHqinfY8lPrlTx1V-H4G73fRXfju4_JJjQJgfzVFXAqMSbUDnjLV1ET52A4lSh5_IKUSflCc2bAOppUWnAAfcrhQ4BRrHv5T4EQVIwXzK8tq3LxxYNDWzhmouWII7h70m9sYmak8UrDPV5reWfDGbRatjt4C3jt9f6kcnWqeLz5orh4zHSE/s16000/fang-fei-honor-ai-connect-platform-mwc-2026.jpg" title="Fang Fei, President of Products at HONOR" /></a></div><br />To illustrate this vision, Fang Fei drew a parallel with evolutionary history, explaining that the industry is on the verge of a “Cambrian Explosion” in AI devices. She noted that just as the original Cambrian Explosion millions of years ago led to a sudden burst of countless new lifeforms, the world is about to witness a similar rapid and massive diversification of new, intelligent devices. This evolution will see AI take new forms, from “Embodied AI” like the HONOR Robot Phone to the specialized AI companions HONOR is exploring with its partners.<p></p><p>A deeper transformation is unfolding through the evolution of our underlying distributed technologies. In the past, human-computer interaction was confined to a single screen. Today, thanks to distributed technology, we’ve broken through the physical boundaries of hardware.</p><p>This shift manifests in two key trends: the “decoupling” of smart hardware, which sees devices evolve into specialized peripherals for specific scenarios, and the “ubiquitization” of AI entry points, creating new interaction paradigms tailored to real-world contexts.</p><p>To build a truly unified experience in the face of this challenge, HONOR is executing its open AI device ecosystem strategy through the HONOR AI Connect platform. In this new world, the “interface” is an AI Agent—a personal digital twin living across a user's devices. Thanks to the open platform, this digital twin understands a user's intent on their phone and carries that understanding into their connected car, smart home, or service robot, enabling seamless, intelligent continuity.</p><p>This new generation of devices breaks away from traditional form factors. It illustrates HONOR's concept of Augmented Human Intelligence (AHI), transforming devices from passive tools to proactive partners. A prime example is the <b><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2026/03/honor-robot-phone-magic-v6-magicpad-4-magicbook-pro-14.html" target="_blank">HONOR Robot Phone</a></b>, a groundbreaking device that fuses smartphone innovation with robotics. It acts as a personal cinematographer, automatically tracking and recording video, freeing users to be active participants in their own memories. During its official launch event on March 1st, HONOR debuted its latest AI-native foldable smartphone, the ultra-thin <b><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2026/03/honor-and-arri-announce-collaboration.html" target="_blank">HONOR Magic V6</a></b>, alongside its latest generation of innovative PCs, tablets, and more.</p>

Infinix NOTE 60 Ultra launched at MWC 2026

<p><b>Infinix </b>is cementing its status within the premium smartphone segment in a bold new way with <b>NOTE 60 Ultra</b>, its landmark flagship debuting in Barcelona during <b>Mobile World Congress 2026</b>. </p><p>Co-developed with Italian automotive and design legend <b>Pininfarina</b>, NOTE 60 Ultra's design is driven by an emotion-led aesthetic inspired by super cars. Beneath its bold design lies a fully realized flagship experience, integrating breakthrough in-house innovations with best-in-class partner technologies. A professional-grade <b>200MP ultra-high-definition imaging system</b>, built-in multi-country satellite communication connectivity, and immersive audio precision-tuned by<b> SOUND BY JBL</b> come together to challenge expectations in the premium segment.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Supercar Design DNA in a Flagship, Shaped by Pininfarina</b></p><p>Drawing inspiration from the aerodynamic philosophy and pioneering spirit of high-performance sports cars, Infinix, in partnership with Pininfarina, takes a radical departure in sculpting a flagship. What stands out immediately is what’s missing: the camera bump. As premium handsets adopt larger sensors, they often sacrifice form with increasingly protruding camera modules. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2026/03/infinix-note-60-ultra-specs-features-pricing-availability.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Infinix NOTE 60 Ultra" border="0" data-original-height="457" data-original-width="599" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJSlWIV7bwjlxIqM0Y1Oy7tPOZegY_XZ6A96X3jEMrVwNfdSBhT88fqPmAz7AU9WCg3Eqy32QzbR45Zfo7QiXuCjkULG5tzfB5tAU-GHkcHjjJrxCl6nIJoG3FDEgaaNzoZT-o0X9474Wni3kOTnvQfFqfeJ2Euwh_EI4Y2yR2Yr_p__rJ85MC259sUfo/s16000/infinix-note-60-ultra-specs-features-pricing-availability.jpg" title="Infinix NOTE 60 Ultra" /></a></div><br />True to the sports car heritage, NOTE 60 Ultra introduces a fully integrated, single-body rear: the <b>Aluminum Unibody Design</b>. At the heart of this craftsmanship is the <b>World's 1st Uni-Chassis Cam Module</b>, formed a single, continuous sheet of <b>CORNING® GORILLA® GLASS VICTUS</b> that virtually conceals the presence of the camera. Much like a supercar sculpted for low-drag, the rear design maintains a smooth, uninterrupted silhouette. This also ensures a natural in-hand feel and unobtrusively slips into any pocket, while reinforcing the phone’s durability and structural integrity.<p></p><p>Paying homage to Italian cultural and racing heritage, NOTE 60 Ultra arrives in four striking colorways: Torino Black, Monza Red, Amalfi Blue, and Roma Silver. Each hue draws inspiration from the most iconic scenes and legends of Italy’s motorsport and cultural history, capturing the spirit of speed, lifestyle, and emotional beauty. </p><p>Just as a supercar announces its ignition through sound and light, NOTE 60 Ultra mirrors the ritual. A Floating Taillight signature spans the rear, illuminating as the device powers on. And as a final nod to automotive heritage, NOTE 60 Ultra features an <b>Active Matrix Display </b>reminiscent of a supercar dashboard at startup. Concealed within the rear surface, the hidden display lights up to reveal notifications, expressive icons, or a pixel-style virtual companion.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Dual Flagship Cameras for Detail, Zoom, and True-to-Life Imaging</b></p><p>Although discreet at first glance, Infinix makes no concessions on camera performance and earmarks a new era for Infinix's imaging capability. Delivering performance on par with industry-leading standards, Infinix's Dual Flagship Imaging Architecture marks several brand-first breakthroughs and improvements across three dimensions, reinforcing its position as a signature offering.</p><p>Under the hood, it’s clear that NOTE 60 Ultra refuses to settle for less. Discreetly integrated within the Uni-Chassis Cam Module is a powerful triple-camera array. Anchored by a next-generation <b>200MP Samsung ISOCELL HPE sensor</b>, NOTE 60 Ultra delivers ultra-high-definition clarity. And ensuring flagship-grade versatility across focal lengths, the phone is complemented by a <b>50MP Samsung ISOCELL JN5 periscope telephoto lens</b> and a <b>112° ultra-wide lens</b>. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2026/03/infinix-note-60-ultra-specs-features-pricing-availability.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Infinix NOTE 60 Ultra" border="0" data-original-height="336" data-original-width="599" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh46RZwG_El68HRtQds38oo6t4BcGBGyFEAGqcgVN30pl-eRkr25OPXYNGK-YycRJ5B92IsuHx8TV2OBg0hwj_lM9wYXAgrwKjLpi0hlhfPtGZL2HnYHWdt4uJhajgaxLMpKYkU4RhFtGabMwpcyckRcG3MUWU_qPMZj1flDG4BOpxamDIVzsS6Tx7omtw/s16000/infinix-note-60-ultra-camera-specs-features.jpg" title="Infinix NOTE 60 Ultra" /></a></div><br />However, hardware alone does not define the full experience. For the first time, Infinix supports the XDR display standard with Ultra HDR Capture. Powered by a proprietary <b>XDR Image Engine</b>, Infinix's advanced system delivers a superior dynamic range, ideal for true-to-life photos of bright lights at night or breathtaking sunset scenes.<p></p><p>The result is exceptional resolution that sets a higher bar for precise framing in daylight or after dark, while faithfully preserving details often lost in standard photography. Whether exploring daytime cityscapes or distant horizons, NOTE 60 Ultra excels with its advanced optical‑to‑digital zoom performance. Crisp, detailed shots are captured across a versatile zoom range, from a 2× optical crop and<b> native 3.5× optical zoom</b> to a 7× lossless digital zoom, extending up to 100× for extreme distances. </p><p> </p><p><b>Expansive Satellite Calling and Messaging Coverage </b></p><p>Beyond what meets the eye, NOTE 60 Ultra carries a more subtle capability designed to accompany the user's ambition, as far as and wherever the road leads. NOTE 60 Ultra is the first to introduce dual-way satellite calling with expansive global coverage across a far greater number of countries. Powered by two-way messaging and calling beyond traditional terrestrial networks, NOTE 60 Ultra offers an added peace of mind whether navigating remote terrain beyond cellular coverage or facing large-scale network disruptions. The device bridges regional connectivity gaps to maintain communication and enables emergency location sharing when it matters most.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Ultra-Fast, Enduring Functionalities for an All-Around Flagship Experience</b></p><p>NOTE 60 Ultra combines category-leading performance and enduring power to support multi-sensory entertainment without interruption. Complementing this, its latest user experience delivers forward-looking innovations and AI-driven optimizations, making it more accessible and seamless for everyday use.</p><p>Impressively, Infinix debuted the <b>Proprietary Battery Self-Healing Technology.</b> Despite featuring a massive <b>7000mAh silicon-carbon battery</b> within a slim, lightweight frame, NOTE 60 Ultra is engineered to restore up to 1%² of battery health every 200 charge cycles. Complementing this breakthrough, NOTE 60 Ultra supports wired <b>100W All-Around Fast Charge</b> and <b>50W wireless charging</b>, achieving a full charge from 1% to 100%² in only 48 minutes through a wired connection. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2026/03/infinix-note-60-ultra-specs-features-pricing-availability.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Infinix NOTE 60 Ultra" border="0" data-original-height="346" data-original-width="599" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZWgsukdzK3H8ogBmJnqDupACXBLERr1tUhfYoAUu4y66B04uAMwdaVQFckN1yyxXqp6Df3wWOCCYoiqmNXJUJCUQB31z6mwA5-QJQ_IgsUijDb9-tTGY_yAtSfWajaV8heWqkTBamMnBLLUR9z1lEB_1VCVyTNPVzh1nDDsMOdxppxzmKf4dISlpgr5U/s16000/infinix-note-60-ultra-color-variants.jpg" title="Infinix NOTE 60 Ultra" /></a></div><br />Even with a massive battery, Infinix pulls out all the stops to optimize for both speed and energy management. Featuring a 4nm all-big-core <b>MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultimate </b>chipset together with Infinix's self-developed performance engine, NOTE 60 Ultra achieves up to 25% faster multitasking, accelerated app responsiveness, and sustained smoothness.<p></p><p>NOTE 60 Ultra excels in its class with a captivating, <b>1.5K Ultra HDR cinematic display</b>. Delivering fluid <b>144Hz responsiveness </b>and exceptional <b>4500-nit peak brightness</b>, visuals remain vibrant across most lighting conditions. Even in motion, intelligent predictive stabilization minimizes motion sickness, whether watching a film or playing games from within a car. And just as a high-performance vehicle demands calibrated acoustics, NOTE 60 Ultra doesn't settle for less. It delivers high-fidelity audio through a <b>stereo system with SOUND BY JBL</b>, completing a truly compelling entertainment experience.</p><p>The NOTE 60 Ultra’s optimized performance enables its intelligent AI features to run fluidly and efficiently with minimal battery drain. Its integrated AI ecosystem focuses on practical daily-enhancing functions, including real-time vitals tracking via Advanced Health Monitor, personalized file organization and an adaptive AI-powered knowledge base, all evolving with user preferences.
