Honor's Magic V3 will come equipped with AI Defocus tech to reduce eye strain

Honor's foldable Magic V3 is coming with a nice suite of generative AI features in partnership with Google Cloud. But the company has just announced something even more interesting: the industry's first 'AI Defocus display technology". The new tech is aimed at reducing eye strain while using the phone, and also reducing nearsightedness (the users' myopia).

First off, we have "Enhanced Eye Protection". This tech uses AI algorithms on the Honor Magic V3 to simulate traditional optical methods. As the name suggests, those are aimed at reducing eye strain and transient myopia by incorporating "defocus signals in screen layers".

The foldable also comes with ultra-high PWM dimming, which ensures reduced screen flicker. The screen flickering also puts strain on the eyes, so reducing it will help protect your eyes when interacting with the phone.

The Honor Magic V3 also comes with something called "Myopia Control". The company says that myopia rates are rising all over the globe. The AI Defocus display tech will use "defocus incorporated multiple segments" or DIMS, that are used in specialized glasses to prevent axial elongation of eye signals.

Honor also says that the new display tech managed to reduce transient myopia by 13 degrees on average (according to company testing).
