Huawei to Launch Enhanced Celia AI Assistant App
Upgraded Celia App to Offer Richer AI Experience
Huawei's Consumer Business Group Chairman, Yu Chengdong, has announced the upcoming launch of an enhanced Celia AI assistant app. This upgraded version, called Xiaoyi (Celia Voice), promises a richer user experience with new AI capabilities. The app is set to debut around Chinese New Year.
Expanded AI Features for Everyday Life
The new Celia app aims to improve various aspects of daily life, from dining and entertainment to travel. It will incorporate features such as document tie-in, food detective, health consultant, and writing expert. This echoes similar AI features found in competitors like Samsung's Gemini AI.
Building on Existing Celia Capabilities
Celia is Huawei's established virtual assistant, with existing apps like Celia Suggestions and Celia Tips. This new Smart Voice app represents a significant upgrade, potentially incorporating one-command functionalities similar to Honor's YOYO, allowing users to streamline tasks like ordering food and making payments. This development aligns with the broader trend of AI integration in smartphones, as seen with the Samsung Galaxy S25 series and its Snapdragon 8 Elite processor.
More Details to Come
While full details are yet to be revealed, the upgraded Celia app is expected to offer a more convenient and intelligent user experience. It remains to be seen how these new features will compare to existing AI assistants. For more on AI developments, see Xiaomi's HyperOS 3.
