Smartphone brand Honor, a smartphone brand owned by CE giant Huawei Technologies, has launched the Honor Vision smart TV series.
Launched at the recent 2019 Huawei Developer Conference (HDC, the device is Honor’s first smart screen product, which uses Honor’s Sharp Tech innovations. Equipped with three Huawei intelligent chipsets - the Honghu 818 Intelligent Display, an AI Camera NPU and a flagship-level Wi-Fi chipset - the Honor Vision is also claimed to be the world’s first smart screen device to carry Huawei’s HarmonyOS. The CE giant recently launched the microkernel-based, distributed operating system that it claims will no less than ‘revitalise’ the mobile industry and ‘enrich’ the device ecosystem.
The Honor Vision smart TV Series uses a Honghu 818 Intelligent Display chipset, which carries an image-processing engine, and is equipped with seven image-processing technologies, including motion estimate and motion compensation (MEMC), high dynamic range imaging (HDR), super-resolution (SR), noise reduction (NR), dynamic contrast improvement (DCI), auto colour management (ACM) and local dimming (LD). The chipset is designed to enhance and optimise image resolution, contrast and colour performance through multiple algorithms.
The product’s Wi-Fi chipset, the HiSilicon Hi1103, is claimed to be the world’s first chipset to support a 160MHz bandwidth with a download rate of up to 1.7Gbps, and 1.7 times faster than the industry average, enabling smoother and more stable video playback, especially for 4K HD video. Both variants of Honor Vision come with a 55-inch 4K HDR display, with a screen-to-body ratio of up to 94%.
“Honor Vision is not just television as we know it. It defines the future of television with Honor’s Sharp Tech innovations,” remarked Honor president George Zhao. “Honor Vision will play a more critical role in the future of smart family life. It is not only a home entertainment centre, but also an information sharing centre, a control management centre and a multi-device interaction centre.
