Honor introduced dynamic island way before iPhone 14 series: CEO

Honor CEO, Zhao Ming said that Honor has achieved Dynamic Island way before the iPhone 14 series. This is a claim, that we also discussed after the launch of the current-gen iPhone lineup.

The latest comment from the Honor chief came during a conversation with the Chinese media. Zhao addressed that Apple is facing a severe innovation bottleneck and it continues to happen each year. He then moved on to the topic of Dynamic Island, saying that Honor introduced such a feature in 2019 with the launch of Honor V20.

At that time, Honor was operating under Huawei and the company launched this phone. It made a huge success in both China and the global market. Yet, Honor CEO is right that the phone was the first to come with a smart capsule feature, which helps to see important notifications.

According to the information, Honor V20 is also one of the first smartphones to bring a hole-punch display. Therefore, the phone uses this virtual pop-out capsule coming out from the back of the front camera. This was so innovative and many of the Chinese phone makers adapted such technologies in their devices.

In action, the front camera is also linked with the feature and suggests posture correction in real-time with that virtual capsule. In terms of interaction, the capsule comes out from the left with animation and goes back within a few seconds after showing the content.

Huawei also promoted this feature in its Huawei Nova 4 series devices, which also garnered good attention.

Lacking Innovation:

The Honor Chief later mentioned the key challenges of the mobile industries, saying that the market is getting complicated and many companies are facing a big bottleneck of innovation. As a result, the global smartphone shipments continue to decline.
