Ehren phones are given access to the AI ​​video from Google early

Google's latest AI image-to-video tool made its debut in new Honor smartphones in front of the wider rollout for Gemini users.

With the function operated by Google from the VEO 2 model, users Stills can be transformed in short five-second videos directly from the gallery app via the next 400 and 400 Pro devices from Honor and started on May 22nd. The technology offers a quick generation and usually only takes one or two minutes per video.

The tool designed with simplicity and does not allow the text input requests, so that the AI ​​interprets every picture as it fits. The results can be mixed: uncomplicated subjects such as pets or portraits often result in a smooth, lifelike movement, but the tool fights with complex images.

Some results were amusing or surreal – a pigeon that flew out of Van Gogh's eye, for example, which indicates that the creative decisions of the AI ​​still lack refinement.

The owners of the Honor 400 series can try the function for two months free of charge, with a limit of ten videos per day. After the test version, a Google subscription will probably be necessary, although prices and conditions have not yet been announced.

While the video input is already available to the Gemini Advanced subscribers from Google, the image-based generation remains limited to selected users among Google Cloud's company offers, which are 50 cents per second.

With this early publication, Honor users receive rare access to an experimental AI function, which remains out of reach for most.
