Have you ever looked at a photo and wished you had taken a video of the moment instead? The HONOR 400 5G brings a cure to this regret – AI-generated. Made possible with Google's Veo 2 AI model, the 'Image to video' feature on the HONOR 400 5G utilizes artificial intelligence to transform images into 5-second short clips with scene-relevant content.
How to use it:
1. Open the Gallery, go to "Create," then tap "Image to video."
2. Select the photo then pick the aspect ratio of the video that you want to generate.
3. Tap "Start Generation" then wait for a few minutes.
4. Export the generated video into your Gallery in MP4 format.
Sample generated clips from the HONOR 400 5G's Image to video feature can be viewed on TeknoGadyet's Facebook page, like this one.
AI Outpaint
HONOR 400 5G joins the lineup of the currently very few smartphones that carry the AI Outpaint feature – an AI-powered function that seamlessly and contextually zooms out an image. It intelligently expands the boundaries of a photo, solving a dilemma on awkward picture cropping and reframing.
