Visitors to this year’s Africa Tech Festival had a glimpse of the future as Honor, the global smart device brand, brought an extraordinary line-up of intelligent products to its exhibition stand – a curated experience inspired by its world-class Honor Alpha flagship store in Shenzhen, China.
The Alpha store represents the pinnacle of Honor’s design and innovation ecosystem, offering an immersive environment where technology and creativity converge. From smart wearables and artificial intelligence- powered devices to futuristic instruments, the store has become a hub of inspiration. At Africa Tech Festival, attendees witnessed a snapshot of that ingenuity firsthand.
Among the standout displays was the Honor robot phone, a remarkable concept device that merges mobile technology with robotics to create a dynamic, interactive companion capable of movement, gestures and facial expressions. Designed to push the boundaries of human-device interaction, this innovation embodies Honor’s vision for a more intuitive and emotionally responsive tech experience.
Festivalgoers also engaged with a variety of AI-enhanced smart products that blended practicality, creativity and entertainment. These included the smart ring series – lightweight, ultra-durable rings that track health metrics such as heart rate, oxygen levels, sleep and even ECG readings, while enabling remote photography and app connectivity. Honor showcased three variants, each highlighting different display technologies including e-Ink, LCD and ECG-based monitoring.
Music and gaming enthusiasts appreciated Honor’s suite of smart instruments, such as the stringless smart guitar, smart ukulele and smart portable piano, all designed to connect to companion apps for real-time sound recognition, AI-generated content-based music creation and interactive learning. Completing the entertainment line-up was the air drum set, offering a fully portable drumming experience with millisecond-level feedback.
In the realm of AI companionship, Honor introduced the AI panda and AI sunflower – realistic plush devices powered by large language models capable of intelligent, lifelike conversations and customisable personalities.
Entire ecosystem
Together these innovations offer a glimpse into Honor’s vision of connected, human-centric technology – the same philosophy that underpins its global operations and the experiential brilliance of the Alpha store.
Honor’s entire ecosystem was on display, including the Magic, N and X series, laptops and tablets, wearables, and audio, which are all available locally.
As a diamond sponsor of the Africa Tech Festival 2025, Honor continues to reinforce its commitment to driving Africa’s digital transformation through cutting-edge innovation, empowering connectivity and inspiring the next generation of tech enthusiasts.
