[Barcelona, Spain – March 6, 2025] – Global technology brand HONOR made a significant impression at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025 with the unveiling of its ambitious HONOR ALPHA PLAN, a new corporate strategy to transform HONOR from a smartphone maker to a global leading AI device ecosystem company.

HONOR's CEO, James Li, emphasized the importance of embracing the AI revolution, calling for industry collaboration to create an open and value-sharing ecosystem that maximizes human potential. As testament to its commitment, HONOR announced a USD 10 billion+ investment plan and pledged to provide seven years of Android OS and security updates for its HONOR Magic series, starting in the EU market.

Digital Trends emphasized HONOR's aim to take on Apple and Samsung with its $10 billion ALPHA PLAN. CNET reported that HONOR is now offering seven years of Android OS and security updates for its flagship phone series, positioning itself alongside Samsung and Google as a leader in long-term software support.

During MWC 2025, HONOR's AI innovations received significant attention from prominent figures, including King Felipe VI of Spain. The King showed great interest in HONOR's AI Deepfake Detection technology during his booth tour at HONOR, particularly in its ability to combat identity potential online scams fueled by AI filters, which have become a pressing issue in Spain. He praised HONOR's R&D efforts in fake detection, noting its potential to protect users against these threats.

King Felipe VI, along with Diana Morán, the Minister of Science and Innovation, was also impressed by HONOR's AI Agent, the world's first GUI-based personal mobile AI agent, which can seamlessly interact with third-party applications. A demo showcasing the AI Agent's ability to book a restaurant using voice commands was particularly surprising to the King.
