SHENZHEN, China, May 26, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

- Unique synergy between R&D and manufacturing capabilities

Global technology brand HONOR today revealed the proprietary technology behind

the manufacturing of HONOR Magic4 Pro, the brand's latest flagship smartphone

made exclusively in HONOR Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Park.

Demonstrating manufacturing excellence, the flagship smartphone exemplifies the

brand's commitment to delivering cutting-edge innovation and is a testament to

HONOR's capability to manufacture high-quality premium products at scale. The

HONOR Magic4 Pro is set to arrive in select international markets starting this

month.

"The opening of the HONOR Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Park last year

was a significant milestone of our success in integrating our R&D capabilities

into our manufacturing processes. The consolidation allows us to better harness

our expertise across both fields," said George Zhao, CEO of HONOR Device Co,

Ltd. "In addition to bolstering our manufacturing capacities, the smart

manufacturing facility houses world-class production, testing and quality

control equipment that ensures our premium products live up to our customers'

high expectations."

Seamless Integration between R&D and Manufacturing

Operational since September 2021, the HONOR Intelligent Manufacturing

Industrial Park is the brand's first self-funded factory. Equipped with

cutting-edge manufacturing and testing facilities to support every aspect of

smartphone manufacturing, the Park is integral to assuring the quality of the

brand's premium offerings. With 20 percent of the staff working in the Park

being R&D personnel, HONOR weaves its R&D resources into the Park's core

capabilities, maximizing the synergy between the two and enabling manufacturing

technology to keep pace with innovation.

Custom Production Line for HONOR Magic4 Pro Innovations

Arriving to select international markets beginning this month, HONOR Magic4 Pro

debuts with AI Privacy Call, a pain point killer feature that massively

minimizes sound leakage during voice calls; Ultra-Fusion Computational

Photography, a camera solution that enables users to take full advantage of the

smartphone's multiple rear cameras; and the Quad-Curved LTPO Display, a

stunning display that provides immersive viewing experiences. Each of these

features poses a set of unique manufacturing challenges, the solutions to which

are only made possible by HONOR's R&D and manufacturing synergy.

With each generation of smartphones, smartphone makers have been continuously

shifting the receiver towards the top bezel in attempt to achieve an increased

display area. However, the closer the receiver is placed near the edge, the

more pronounced the sound leakage during voice calls, leading to privacy

concerns.

To address this user pain point, HONOR identified and solved over 100

technological challenges and created AI Privacy Call. This innovative feature

leverages the industry-first Intelligent Dual Sound-Emitting Unit, which

includes a bone conduction component using piezoelectric ceramics that is

mounted directly to the display. Due to the nature of glass, the assembly

process requires extreme precision – even minor manufacturing deviations will

permanently damage the panel. Working hand in hand, the R&D and manufacturing

teams were able to overcome the challenge in three months' time. The concerted

efforts resulted in the creation of the automated high-precision mounting

equipment, which leverages computer vision and optimized algorithms to achieve

an accuracy of 0.01mm and a yield of 99.99 percent, contributing to HONOR's

ability to meet consumer demands for the HONOR Magic4 Pro.

The HONOR Magic4 Pro is also equipped with a powerful Triple Camera combination

supporting Ultra-Fusion Computational Photography. The complexity of the

solution in the new flagship smartphone necessitated double the camera

calibration equipment compared to what was required for its predecessor.

Benefitting from improved calibration and testing procedures, the Triple Camera

system, combined with AI algorithms, delivers more detailed images with more

authentic colors across the full supported focal range.

Advanced assembly processes are also adopted for the Quad-Curved LTPO Display

on HONOR Magic4 Pro.  Leveraging a cutting-edge setup of six-axis robotic arms,

high-precision cameras and HONOR-developed computer vision algorithms, the

mounting equipment operates with an accuracy range of ±0.075mm and outputs

products with a low manufacturing tolerance of just 0.1mm, further

demonstrating HONOR's superior manufacturing capabilities.

The Park is also equipped with industry-leading laboratories, including a

reliability laboratory, regulatory laboratory and environmental protection

laboratory, with which HONOR conducts over 200 reliability tests on the HONOR

Magic4 Pro to ensure its premium quality. For instance, the HONOR Magic4 Pro is

tested to have a Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) value – which measures

smartphone radiation emission – that is 56 percent below the limit of the most

stringent industry standard.

Three Pillars of Manufacturing Excellence

Automation, digitalization and intelligent technology serve as the cornerstones

underpinning the Park's core manufacturing capabilities. The Park operates with

75 percent of its production line automated, minimizing the risk of human

error. Additionally, more than 40 percent of the automated production equipment

is developed in-house, which serves as further evidence of the tight

integration between R&D and manufacturing capabilities at the Park.

All key equipment in the production facility supports digital control systems,

allowing HONOR to better manage the entire production line and reap better

efficiency as well as improve product quality.

Manufactured exclusively in the Park, the HONOR Magic4 Pro represents the best

of HONOR's manufacturing capabilities, which international consumers will soon

be able to experience firsthand when the flagship smartphone arrives in select

markets starting this month.
