PhoneSentral Tech in Simplicity
Global technology brand HONOR has cemented its status as a leader in mobile innovation by securing two coveted spots on the TIME Best Inventions 2025 list.
This significant achievement validates the company’s commitment to research and development and highlights its unique position, as HONOR was the only brand recognized with multiple awards for smartphone-related innovations on this year’s prestigious list.
The first accolade was awarded to the HONOR On-device AI Deepfake Detection tool in the Privacy & Security category.
This innovation directly addresses one of the most pressing online threats today: sophisticated deepfake video technology.
Recognizing the critical need for user protection, HONOR integrated an essential, proprietary defense mechanism directly into its flagship smartphones to combat this growing danger.
What sets this technology apart is its on-device capability. The tool utilizes artificial intelligence to locally scan video calls for anomalies indicative of deepfakes, such as unnatural facial movements.
Hailed by TIME as a “first-of-its-kind safeguard,” this approach significantly reduces latency and prevents sensitive data from being transmitted, effectively shifting the responsibility of detection from the user to the device itself.
The second recognition came in the Manufacturing & Materials category for the revolutionary HONOR Silicon-Carbon Battery.
This invention represents a major breakthrough that tackles a fundamental limitation of modern electronics.
By pushing past the established density ceilings of traditional lithium-ion technology, HONOR has paved the way for more efficient and powerful mobile designs.
This new battery material allows for the creation of slimmer devices, particularly foldable phones, without sacrificing essential power.
For example, the technology allows a 2.3mm profile to hold an impressive 6,100mAh capacity.
TIME specifically praised the design for its ability to “compact materials while extending battery life,” underscoring HONOR’s continued success in delivering user-centric technology that genuinely advances the mobile experience.
