    HONOR 400 Series Debuts with Industry-First AI Image to Video Feature Powered by Google Cloud AI

    Malaysia is among the first countries selected to launch the new HONOR 400 Series on 22 May 2025. The global smart device brand HONOR has officially announced its upcoming release, which has already sparked excitement on social media for its cutting-edge AI Imaging technology. At the heart of the series is a standout feature: AI Image to Video, developed in collaboration with Google Cloud AI, which allows users to transform still images into short, moving videos effortlessly.

    The HONOR 400 Series introduces a powerful combination of next-generation AI capabilities and flagship-level camera hardware. Designed to elevate everyday photography, the AI Image to Video tool empowers users to animate static pictures directly from the photo gallery without relying on third-party apps. This feature makes it easier than ever to create engaging content from personal memories and creative visuals, redefining what’s possible from a smartphone.

    Both models in the HONOR 400 Series come equipped with a 200MP Main Camera supported by a large 1/1.4-inch sensor, offering superior image clarity even in low-light settings. These are further enhanced with Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) and Electronic Image Stabilisation (EIS). A 12MP Macro and Wide Camera adds flexibility for expansive shots, while the HONOR 400 Pro includes a 50MP Telephoto Camera with up to 50x digital zoom. The standard HONOR 400 offers 30x zoom. On the front, users will enjoy a 50MP Portrait Selfie Camera capable of delivering studio-quality results.

    What sets the HONOR 400 Series apart is its full suite of Next-Gen AI Imaging tools. These features allow users to transform, refine, and enhance their photos with ease. The AI Image to Video function brings old and static photos to life. To showcase this, HONOR recently released two emotional videos for Mother’s Day. In one, a daughter used the HONOR 400 Pro to animate a photo with her late mother, resulting in a touching moment where her mother smiles and moves in the recreated video. In another, a grieving girl was comforted when her father animated a photograph of her and her grandmother, reigniting a heartfelt connection through the moving image.

    The series also features AI Eraser 2.0, which can remove unwanted objects or glare from photos for a cleaner finish. AI Cutout gives users the ability to extract people or objects and change backgrounds seamlessly, ideal for professional use or creative projects. AI Outpainting allows users to expand image borders and backgrounds, making scenic shots even more impactful. With AI Upscale, old or low-resolution photos can be revived with crisp detail and clarity. Moving Photo Collage offers a fun way to combine Live Photos into dynamic stories complete with audio and effects. Meanwhile, Harcourt Studio 2.0 refines portrait photography with enhanced edge details, background blur, and a selection of elegant film-style filters for artistic flair.

    All these features are designed to empower users to tell their stories more creatively and personally, whether for social media, professional use, or treasured memories. The HONOR 400 Series represents a new chapter in AI-powered mobile imaging, combining advanced tools with effortless usability.

  • INTAN and Huawei Malaysia Collaborate to Drive Digital Transformation in the Public Sector

    INTAN and Huawei Malaysia Collaborate to Drive Digital Transformation in the Public Sector

    Empowering civil service excellence through innovation, leadership, and strategic collaboration

    In a significant move to future-proof Malaysia’s public sector, the National Institute of Public Administration (INTAN), under the Public Service Department (JPA), has officially joined hands with Huawei Technologies (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd to fast-track digital transformation across government institutions.

    This strategic partnership, sealed through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), is designed to strengthen digital leadership and enhance the readiness of civil servants to respond to today’s increasingly tech-driven environment. By combining public sector expertise with cutting-edge industry solutions, the collaboration is poised to elevate service delivery and boost the resilience of government systems.

    As part of the collaboration, key programmes such as the Digital Leadership Excellence (DLE) Programme, Seeds for the Future, and the Huawei ICT Academy will be leveraged to upskill talents and encourage active cross-sector innovation. The DLE’s second cohort was recently welcomed at INTAN, coinciding with a vibrant Raya Open House a symbol of unity, growth, and forward momentum.

    INTAN Director, Datuk Dr Mohd Zabri bin Yusoff, affirmed the institution’s commitment to innovation, saying, “At INTAN, we believe that digital readiness is fundamental to national progress. Through our partnership with Huawei, we aim to arm civil servants with the right mindset, tools, and expertise to lead Malaysia into a digitally empowered future.”

    Huawei ASEAN Academy Vice Chancellor, Mr Oliver Liu, echoed this sentiment: “Huawei is proud to support Malaysia’s public sector transformation journey. By integrating our technological strengths with INTAN’s training legacy, we are cultivating a new generation of digital-ready leaders who can deliver more personalised and impactful services to citizens.”

    Under the MoU, Huawei Malaysia will contribute its advanced digital know-how, including talent development frameworks, curated content, and strategic guidance for public sector digitalisation. Meanwhile, INTAN will bring its extensive policy expertise, robust training infrastructure, and leadership network to maximise impact and outreach.

    Beyond classroom learning, the collaboration aims to spark innovation at scale through initiatives like Seeds for the Future and the Huawei ICT Competition. These platforms will not only recognise fresh ideas and breakthrough digital solutions, but also nurture young talents and connect them with senior government leaders. Huawei will provide technological mentorship and evaluation support, while INTAN will facilitate participation and help champion success stories within public administration circles.

    This joint effort aligns with the Malaysian government’s vision to become a high-tech nation by 2030. A digitally fluent civil service is vital in closing the digital divide, driving economic competitiveness, and ensuring inclusive growth for all Malaysians.

    With the partnership now in motion, INTAN and Huawei are laying the foundation for a digitally transformative public sector where leadership is data-driven, services are citizen-centric, and innovation is at the heart of national progress.

    Dimensi Baharu Dalam Dunia Perisik & Teknologi MATA

    Jika filem pertama memberi fokus kepada realiti hidup masyarakat tersisih di Pinggiran, kali ini penonton dibawa jauh ke dalam sistem MATA termasuk makmal eksperimen, zon latihan canggih, dan juga rekaan terbaharu seperti Sut Satria. Sut ini diinspirasikan daripada busana tradisional pahlawan Melayu, lengkap dengan helmet berbentuk tengkolok dan butang baju Melayu sebagai logo satu simbol gabungan teknologi dan warisan.

    Misi Baharu di Dasar Laut – Cabaran Animasi Bertaraf Tinggi

    Antara babak paling mencabar dari sudut teknikal adalah misi bawah laut yang memerlukan integrasi efek air yang realistik dengan koreografi aksi kompleks. Adegan ini bermula di pantai dan membawa penonton menyelam ke dasar laut menampilkan sinematografi mengagumkan dan visual simulasi air yang menakjubkan.

    Hab Teras Tekno – Nadi Teknologi Cyberaya

    Filem ini turut memperkenalkan Teras Tekno, pusat pembangunan gajet dan teknologi MATA. Lokasi ini menjadi ruang eksperimen utama ejen Tekno dan tempat penambahbaikan senjata bagi semua ejen. Perincian ini membuka peluang besar dalam membina dunia Cyberaya yang lebih hidup dan kaya dengan imaginasi.

    Rekaan Produksi Lebih Matang dan Bermakna

    Menurut Safuan Shahril, Ketua Artis Aset dan Penyelia Teknikal WAU Animation, proses menghasilkan visual MATA memerlukan pencarian arah artistik yang menyeluruh. “Kami hanya benar-benar ‘lock’ konsep visual ibu pejabat MATA selepas pertengahan produksi. Bila semuanya klik, kami tahu inilah wajah sebenar MATA yang kami cari,” ujarnya.

    KRU cipta sejarah baharu dalam industri hiburan tanah air apabila Konsert GENKRU kini disahkan berlangsung selama tiga hari, dengan tarikh tambahan diumumkan pada 10 Mei 2025 di Axiata Arena, Bukit Jalil. Pada awalnya hanya dijadualkan pada 3 Mei 2025, sambutan luar biasa daripada peminat memaksa pihak penganjur menambah satu malam lagi pada 4 Mei. Namun, kedua-dua malam itu menyaksikan tiket habis terjual dalam tempoh kurang sejam, membuktikan betapa kuatnya pengaruh dan legasi KRU yang telah bertapak sejak 1992.

    Sebagai trio ikonik yang membentuk landskap muzik Melayu moden, KRU terus membuktikan daya tarik mereka melangkaui generasi. Dengan keputusan rasmi untuk melanjutkan penganjuran konsert kepada malam ketiga, Konsert GENKRU bukan sekadar satu persembahan hiburan tetapi simbol kejayaan artis tempatan yang mampu mencetus fenomena. Tarikh tambahan pada 10 Mei ini juga menjadikan KRU sebagai kumpulan muzik Malaysia pertama yang berjaya mengadakan konsert berskala besar selama tiga malam di lokasi yang sama.

    Menurut Pengasas ICON Entertainment, Iman Tang, keputusan ini diambil selepas pertimbangan teliti dan persetujuan semua anggota KRU iaitu Dato’ Norman, Datuk Yusry dan Edry. Pemilihan 10 Mei sebagai tarikh konsert ketiga bukanlah bersifat oportunis, tetapi sebagai usaha tulus untuk memenuhi permintaan tinggi daripada peminat yang tidak sempat mendapatkan tiket sebelum ini. Beliau turut menegaskan bahawa kejayaan ini menjadi kebanggaan buat industri tempatan, dan bukti jelas bahawa pemuzik Malaysia mampu mencipta impak besar tanpa bergantung kepada pasaran luar.

    Pemilihan 10 Mei yang tidak bersebelahan dengan dua tarikh terdahulu dibuat atas pertimbangan teknikal dan logistik, memandangkan jadual asal KRU serta pihak penganjur telah dipenuhi dengan komitmen lain. Bagaimanapun, usaha ini jelas menunjukkan komitmen KRU untuk tidak menghampakan peminat yang ingin menyaksikan persembahan istimewa mereka.

    Konsert GENKRU turut menandakan kemunculan semula KRU di pentas besar selepas enam tahun menyepi. Penonton boleh menantikan malam yang penuh nostalgia dan inovasi muzik yang telah menjadi identiti kumpulan ini sejak tiga dekad lalu. Selain itu, elemen teknologi terkini turut dijangka menambah pengalaman luar biasa sepanjang persembahan.
