A Phone With AI?! - Honor View 10 Showcase

2018-01-16
the folks at honor reached out to us to sponsor a showcase of their shiny new flagship the honour view 10 a phone that takes AI super-cereal and we've got not one but two of them here to check out so sit back relax and enjoy the view not that the view I said there was a chance you'd enjoy it so as the smartphone space continues to mature something that we're seeing a lot more of is AI as a way of driving the technology forward like if you think of all the phone features that AI touches these days not just things like virtual assistants and translators but even smarter ways of processing data off of the image sensor for example or managing power so the view 10 uses AI for all of that design-wise view 10 feels pretty modern flagship II it's got an all aluminum chassis that's available in midnight black and in blue like we have here but also red and gold and then on the front you'll find a six inch edge to edge display in the nice and wide or tall as it were 18 by 9 aspect ratio that seems to have pretty much taken over which I'm personally a fan of and then also a capacitive home button that also acts as a fingerprint reader something that I personally do prefer because it allows you to unlock your phone a little bit more conveniently when it's just lying flat on the table inside the phone you'll find six gigs of RAM dual SIM functionality and 128 gigs of expandable storage so that's all pretty normal stuff but what's a little less normal is the eight core Chiron 970 processor something that honor is calling a neural network processing unit or an NP you instead of a CPU so the idea here is that this chip will learn and adapt over its lifetime with honor even going as far as to say that it will ensure smooth leg free operation even after 500 days of use which is pretty attractive considering how clunky that many phones get after just a year or so the NP you also boasts dramatic improvements in battery performance like up to 21 hours of browsing from the view 10s 3750 milliamp hour battery which combined with fast charging over USB C should make it pretty hard to get caught with a dead phone on to the camera or cameras as it were the view 10 has dual lenses on the back one 16 megapixel RGB sensor and then a 20 megapixel monochrome one the aperture can open up as wide as one point stops giving you a nice bokeh effect and that's even without using software enhancements like the built-in portrait mode and wide aperture mode the software can also use object recognition to automatically adjust camera settings according to what is detected in the frame so if you point the camera at one of the 13 object types that it recognizes you'll actually see the corresponding icon pop up and then the software's knowledge of what settings are best will even expand over time through over-the-air updates and you can also use the image recognition for text so with the pre-installed Microsoft translator app you just point the camera at text that you don't understand and it'll translate it instantly right on top of the image another cool feature is what they call image super resolution so this basically lets you zoom super far into a picture without it getting ridiculously blurry because it's all back to AI again it's trying to smooth out the pixels for you on the fly flipping over to the 13 megapixel selfie camera we can experiment with beauty mode which I obviously do not need at all but what it will attempt to do is automatically detect your gender and then offer desirable image enhancements not everyone cares about selfies though when it comes to gaming the vo 10 comes with game suite which helps balance power savings and gaming performance and then also allows you to turn off notifications and navigation keys so you don't get interrupted when you're playing games and then on the subject of navigation keys the view 10 includes a few neat alternatives to increase productivity so you can hide your on screen navigation buttons and navigate just by tapping and swiping the capacitive home button or you can use this nifty navigation dock or the nav nipple as I like to call it another cool productivity trick is using your knuckles to initiate split-screen you just knock and draw a line across the screen and nearly enough it can actually tell if you use your finger or your knuckle which is for so that's it that's a quick showcase overview of the honor of you 10 big things to honor for including a headphone jack and sponsoring this video and you guys for watching so if you dislike this video you can hit that button but if you liked it hit like get subscribed maybe consider checking out where to buy the stuff we featured at the link in the video description also down there is our merch store which has cool shirts like this one as well as our community forum which you should totally join that was the world's most beautiful selfie look how beautiful I am you see that that is a beautiful beautiful Linus
