I had more than a month to try out the new Honor 10 and here is my honest review on what I think of the phone. Hint – AI camera is awesome! I got the chance to review the Honor 10 over the period of more than a month recently and there are tons of stuffs that I like about it. Of course there are some misses along the way but I feel those are forgivable. But when it comes to AI features in the camera, the Honor 10 scores high in my books.

At trade fairs like the Mobile World Congress and IFA, Huawei, Samsung and Qualcomm are the main companies that focus on AI. You can also throw in Apple's new bionic processor and Google's Pixel Visual Core into that mix. Of course, this is only the current state of AI functions. AI is growing rapidly in the world of smartphones, and in the future we'll see many more applications. Development is progressing and we're still just at the beginning. Yet, even today there are exciting AI functions you can enjoy, if you have the right smartphone.

Honor, a leading smartphone e-brand under the Huawei Group signed up to work with Central Saint Martins (CSM) students to explore the concept of colour and its emotional significance within the history of design, as well as the relationship between art, design and technological innovation. Collaborating to find beauty in Artificial Intelligence (AI), selected CSM students are to be awarded the Honor Art prize, which is an award given for a piece of final degree work that celebrates the innovative use of colour and technology in artistic practice. This year, the inaugural prize was awarded to MA Fine Art student Marco Pantaleoni for his series of works in 3D scanning, photography and painting. Receiving his award, Marco said: "I feel honoured to be awarded this prize. Technology is an essential part of my practice, so to be recognised by a technology brand like Honor, not only reinforces some of the concepts behind my work, it also really resonates with the way I create."

Artificial intelligence has gone from the imagination of people like Philip K. Dick and Arthur C. Clarke, and is now a part of every aspect of technology. The future of smartphones revolves around terminologies like machine learning, artificial intelligence and augmented reality. We're starting to see this happen already, as most smartphone manufacturers now stress that their devices have AI baked in. But is the hype justified, or are we hearing about AI now because the hardware seems to have reached a plateau? What's clear is that the next revolution lies in software, in bringing actual intelligence to "smart" phones, and that's why AI has to be implemented at all stages of the smartphone experience.

A flagship'iPhoneX killer' smartphone launching today features technology to rival Apple's £999 ($999) device at a fraction of the price. The new Honor 10 will set you back just £399 ($540), £600 ($800) cheaper than the handset, but is packed with a whole host of features to rival the high-end gadget. That includes AI powered cameras, which feature facial recognition unlocking, as well as an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. The device, which launched in China last month, goes on sale from 4pm BST (11am ET) today in the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain, with 21 additional international markets from Asia to Africa to follow. Europe is key for the brand beyond China, because it has been banned from the lucrative US market based on unspecified national security concerns.
