Summary
Chinese phone manufacturer Honor has launched a new phone that offers users the ability to create videos from still images using an AI generator powered by Google, called Veo 2.
The new feature is being offered to buyers of the Honor 400 and 400 Pro phones, ahead of a wider release to the general public.
The AI can turn a still image, whether portrait or landscape, into a short video, but there is no option to include text prompts with the images.
The tool is built into the Honor 400 phone’s Gallery app, and while it has limitations it offers users a realistic movement of the subjects, according to those who have tested it.
Owners will have free use of the image-to-video function for the first two months, but it is likely to become a paid feature at a later date.
Google’s Veo 2 model is already available to those with a paid Gemini Advanced subscription, but users can also pay to access the service on Google Cloud.
