Honor, a spin-off from Huawei Technologies, on Wednesday debuted its self-developed AI agent Yoyo on its new flagship Magic 7 series handsets. The tool is designed to help users complete tasks on their smartphones with simple voice commands.
At the launch event, Honor CEO George Zhao Ming demonstrated the feature by asking his Magic 7 handset to “order something to drink for 2,000 people”. Without Zhao touching the screen, the AI agent automatically placed an order based on his past purchase preferences.
Xiaomi, China’s third bestselling smartphone brand, also compared its HyperAI system to Apple Intelligence. At a launch event on Tuesday, the company said its new Xiaomi 15 handset series “comprehensively surpasses” the iPhone 16 Pro in AI capabilities, offering writing assistance, real-time transcription and translation.
