HONOR has just announced that its upcoming Magic6 flagship series will be fueled by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. That processor was announced by Qualcomm yesterday, and it’s a major improvement compared to an excellent Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip.

Having said that, HONOR also announced that the Magic6 will also come with a “cutting-edge” 7B model on-device large language model (LLM). It will provide “true individual personalized services”.
Considering that on-device AI will be a part of the picture, some advanced options regarding that will be on offer too. You’ll be able to create a personal short video just by “giving a command prompt to the on-device voice assistant”. Templates, themes, and music of the generated videos will also be customizable with additional prompts. Check out the demo video below.

On top of that, HONOR also demonstrated an eye-tracking-based multimodal interaction, which the company refers to as ‘Magic Capsule’. In addition to that, HONOR also demonstrated three key features of MagicRing: Connected Camera, Connected Input, and multi-device screen sharing. MagicRing basically relies on the Snapdragon Seamless tech that Qualcomm introduced. It allows for a variety of data to be exchanged between devices without a problem or power drain. The Magic Capsule demo is shown below.

In regards to specs, we don’t know what else will the Magic6 offer. It will come with high-end specifications, however, and probably in several different models. HONOR does put a lot of focus on the cameras in this series, so you can expect some changes in that regard too.
The HONOR Magic6 series will likely arrive in February, as part of MWC (Mobile World Congress) in Barcelona, but we’re only guessing based on previous launches.
