With AI, the flagship aims to deliver a more intuitive, intelligent, and secure user experience. But the Magic7 Pro has another nifty trick up its sleeve. With the recent rise of deepfakes and the scams associated with them, HONOR has also built a deepfake detector in the phone itself!<div>First Impressions</div>My first thoughts when using the phone was operations felt smooth, apparently due to the 120Hz adaptive refresh rate display and its natural light Honor AI Eye Comfort Display. Also, it helps that it carries the latest chipset in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite which handled productivity with ease. However, there was a bit of bloatware installed when I opened the phone for the first time.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1744268054767honor magic7 front.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"/>The HONOR Magic7 Pro.
