PETALING JAYA: Honor's upcoming Magic7 Pro flagship model will include a feature to detect deepfakes during video calls.

When the smartphone suspects that a video call is a deepfake, it will display a notification at the top of the screen to warn users.

Deepfake detection happens entirely on-device without requiring users to share any data to the cloud.
