Samsung rival unveils brand new smartphone that can move a car using your EYES

SAMSUNG rival Honor has shown off a brand new smartphone that will allow users to drive a car with their eyes.

The tech brand demonstrated how its Magic6 Pro handset can make a car move just by looking at the buttons on the screen.

It uses smart eye-tracking technology and AI to determine where the person is looking.

In a pre-recorded video at a big unveiling in Barcelona, ​​phone fanatics were shown an app with four commands, including starting the engine, stopping the engine, reverse and forward.

For now, it’s just an “experimental concept” and there’s no indication if this car feature will ever become available to handset holders when the Magic6 Pro is released.

But in the near future, users will eventually be able to perform other tasks without lifting a finger.

The company claims the tool can tell when you’re looking at a notification on its “Magic Capsule,” Honor’s version of the iPhone’s Dynamic Island.

“If you use the eye to look at them, they can open the apps,” said Honor boss George Zhao.

‘You know, that’s very difficult.

“The [Apple] Vision Pro, the camera is close to the eyes, about four to five centimeters [away] but for Honor we can support 20 to 30 centimeters.”

He added that the capability will be opened up to developers so they can implement it in their own apps.

One demo showed how a woman could stare at a snippet of the Uber app and open the full app by changing the direction of her gaze.

The year of AI

The feature is powered by the Qualcomm AI Engine and the fast Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, which enable such features in a big way.

It comes amid a huge focus on AI this year, after Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S24 series, which can perform advanced tasks like translating calls in real time and changing the tone of your messages for you.

Honor has also announced other AI features for the Magic6 Pro, including a so-called Magic Portal that can detect details in texts and determine the right app for it. For example, addresses go directly to Google Maps.

In addition to all the AI, the new Android smartphone has some camera upgrades.

A 180-megapixel telephoto lens with 2.5x optical zoom and up to 100x digital zoom have been introduced, along with a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera and a 50-megapixel main camera.

Honor has also worked on the battery, allowing the Magic6 Pro to be charged to 100 percent in 40 minutes.

The Magic6 Pro is available in black and epigreen for £1,099, but below are some introductory discounts.

Pre-orders open on March 1st ahead of the general sale on March 8th.
