  • HONOR Tackles Rising Silent Call Threats in Malaysia with Enhanced AI-Powered Voice Scam Detection

    HONOR Tackles Rising Silent Call Threats in Malaysia with Enhanced AI-Powered Voice Scam Detection

    A rising scam call tactic known as the “silent call” is increasingly worrying Malaysians, as fraudsters leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to clone victims’ voices and impersonate people they know to demand money transfers. Authorities have urged the public to stay vigilant, especially when receiving calls where the caller remains silent for several seconds. Social media is filled with stories of Malaysians encountering these calls, highlighting the urgent need for protective measures. In response, HONOR is enhancing the Magic8 Pro with a new AI Voice Cloning Detection feature, designed to identify AI-generated voices. This feature will be available via a software update in late December 2025.

    The AI Voice Cloning Detection complements HONOR Magic8 Pro’s existing AI Deepfake Detection, analyzing calls for cloned or synthesized voices and notifying users when anomalies are detected. The necessity for such protection is evident: recent reports include a woman who lost RM5,000 after a voice clone of her employer deceived her, and a travel agent who fell victim to a call mimicking a friend, losing RM49,800. With this feature, users can answer unknown numbers with greater confidence and reduced anxiety.

    In addition, the Magic8 Pro will include AI Scam Number Detection, which cross-checks incoming calls against known scam databases and alerts users if a number is flagged as suspicious. This provides an extra layer of security, helping users avoid potential scams even before answering a call.

    Beyond calls, HONOR has upgraded its AI Deepfake Detection for video calls, now capable of screening up to eight people simultaneously to detect digitally altered faces. With deepfake-related fraud cases investigated by police numbering 454 last year, causing losses of RM2.72 million, these advanced features position the Magic8 Pro as a strong deterrent against AI-driven fraud nationwide.

    HONOR’s dedication to integrating privacy and security into its devices has earned global recognition. Its built-in deepfake detection technology received the TIME Best Inventions 2025 Award for Privacy and Security, underscoring the brand’s commitment to responsible AI innovation and ensuring users remain protected as digital threats evolve.

  • HONOR Named Double Winner at TIME Best Inventions 2025 for Cutting-Edge Smartphone Tech

    HONOR Named Double Winner at TIME Best Inventions 2025 for Cutting-Edge Smartphone Tech

    HONOR has earned two distinguished spots on the TIME Best Inventions 2025 list, underscoring the brand’s unwavering dedication to innovation and Research & Development (R&D). As the only company to secure multiple awards for smartphone innovations, HONOR continues to strengthen its reputation as a global technology leader. The two award-winning breakthroughs, HONOR On-device AI Deepfake Detection and the HONOR Silicon-carbon Battery, represent major strides in privacy protection and advanced battery technology.

    The HONOR On-device AI Deepfake Detection was recognized under the Privacy & Security category for its ability to address the rising threat of online misinformation. Integrated directly into HONOR smartphones, this pioneering tool can detect deepfakes during video calls by analyzing signs such as broken frames or unnatural facial movements all processed on the device itself without sending data externally. This design not only ensures privacy but also minimizes lag. TIME described the innovation as a “first-of-its-kind safeguard,” highlighting its impact on user security. Jianfa Sun, President of MagicOS at HONOR, emphasized that the technology “shifts the burden of detection from the user to the device, empowering everyone to navigate the complex AI era with confidence and security.” This feature exemplifies HONOR’s commitment to using AI for meaningful, real-world protection.

    In the Manufacturing & Materials category, HONOR was recognized for its revolutionary Silicon-carbon Battery, which redefines the limitations of conventional lithium-ion technology. This new battery composition enables slimmer, more efficient devices while significantly extending battery life. TIME praised the breakthrough, stating that “HONOR’s new battery design allows them to compact materials while extending battery life.” The Silicon-carbon Battery, featuring 25% silicon and measuring only 2.3mm in thickness while delivering an impressive 6,100mAh of power, recently made its debut in the HONOR Magic V5, showcasing the company’s engineering excellence.

    HONOR’s dual recognition by TIME is a testament to the brand’s sustained investment in R&D and its forward-looking vision toward an AI-powered ecosystem. These achievements reaffirm HONOR’s leadership in driving technological innovation and its mission to shape a smarter, safer, and more sustainable future for smartphone users worldwide.

    Teknologi AI HONOR Magic7 Pro Cegah Penipuan Digital dalam 3 Saat!

    Penipuan menggunakan teknologi deepfake semakin menjadi masalah global yang menakutkan, dengan Malaysia turut mencatatkan kerugian besar akibat penipuan ini. Menurut laporan New Straits Times, pada 2024, Malaysia mengalami kerugian RM500 juta akibat penyalahgunaan teknologi AI untuk menghasilkan video palsu yang menyerupai individu terkenal, termasuk tokoh masyarakat, dengan tujuan untuk menipu mangsa agar melakukan urus niaga palsu.

    Antara figura awam yang wajah dan suara mereka dieksploitasi oleh penjenayah deepfake termasuk Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah, Datuk Seri Siti Nurhaliza, Datuk Lee Chong Wei, dan Khairul Aming, lapor Free Malaysia Today. Penipuan ini menyebabkan mangsa yang terpedaya untuk menyerahkan wang atau maklumat peribadi mereka kepada pihak yang tidak bertanggungjawab.

    Untuk melawan ancaman ini, HONOR memperkenalkan teknologi AI Deepfake Detection melalui telefon pintar terbarunya, HONOR Magic7 Pro. Telefon pintar ini dilengkapi dengan teknologi pengesanan deepfake pertama di dunia yang mampu mengesan dan membezakan kandungan video yang telah dimanipulasi dengan tepat. Semasa panggilan video, teknologi ini akan memeriksa aspek seperti pandangan mata, cahaya, ketajaman imej, dan pengulangan video untuk mengesan sebarang kecacatan yang tidak kelihatan oleh mata kasar.

    Sekiranya sebarang anomali dikesan dalam tempoh tiga saat, HONOR Magic7 Pro akan mengeluarkan amaran pada skrin, memberikan perlindungan kepada pengguna daripada menjadi mangsa penipuan digital. Dengan teknologi ini, HONOR Magic7 Pro menawarkan satu persekitaran yang lebih selamat untuk komunikasi digital.

    Khabar gembira bagi peminat teknologi, HONOR Magic7 Pro akan segera memasuki pasaran Malaysia. Pada 9 Disember nanti, lebih banyak maklumat mengenai rekaan, ciri-ciri AI, dan pandangan pertama mengenai telefon pintar flagship ini akan diumumkan.
