This Chinese cell phone company has unveiled a new feature that could change the future of travel as we know it.

Cell phone maker Honor has developed an AI ‘live translation’ that makes conversing with someone speaking a foreign language much easier.

The amazing development was unveiled during this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.

The Honor Alpha Plan could make the firm a world leader in the sphere of AI.

The futuristic new feature created by a Chinese company

We’ve seen plenty of neat tech features coming to cell phones in recent years.

You may recall this hidden iPhone feature that saved countless lives during the Maui fires in Hawaii.

And on the less urgent side, this iOS18 feature came in handy whenever your iPhone’s battery gave out.

But this new addition from Honor is set to make a big impact when it comes to traveling.

How many times have you tried brushing up on the local language because you’re heading abroad?

Despite your best efforts, there’ll always be in gaps in your knowledge and it can lead to problems.

So this AI translation is a revelation.

It even works in face-to-face conversations, allowing each speaker to have speech translated back to them.

Honor said their system is capable of ‘understanding context, grammar and even cultural nuances over time’.

This could make Honor a household name around the world.

The Chinese company was a former subsidiary of Huawei, who sold the brand in November 2020.

The headquarters are located in Shenzhen, China, and it makes tablet computers and wearables in addition to cell phones.

But translation isn’t the only innovative feature that comes with the Alpha Plan.

What else will you get with this phone?

The Honor Magic 7 Pro will also allow users to detect deepfakes in videos.

This feature is needed now more than ever, as news reports constantly point toward people being conned out of money thanks to deepfake scams.

According to Honor, the detector has been trained through the use of videos and images.

It’s capable of performing identification, screening, and comparison processes in just a few seconds.

Things that would usually go unnoticed by humans – like pixel-level imperfections – will be picked up by this feature.

And if that wasn’t handy enough, an AI upscale feature will also be included.

Through this, cell phone users will be able to upgrade old pictures to give them a better quality.

We think we speak for most people when we say that these developments are incredible and will likely prove very popular.

Duolingo’s owl may soon be going extinct, however.
