SAN MATEO, Calif., April 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Building off a
previously announced partnership with Honor, a leading smartphone
e-brand under the Huawei Group, GoPro's Quik mobile video editing
app will be preloaded on the new Honor 8 Pro
smartphone.
As the best performing Honor smartphone to date, the Honor 8 Pro
is engineered for stunning multimedia experiences. The Quik App
will integrate seamlessly with the photo gallery of the Honor 8
Pro, which runs on EMUI 5.1 O.S, and will serve as the primary
video editing solution on Huawei's latest devices. Honor 8 Pro
boasts a 5.7-inch Quad HD display with 515ppi resolution and colour
gamut nearing the cinematic standard, the octa-core Kirin 960
chipset and Mali-G71 GPU with
Vulkan API support, and a 4,000 mAh battery that will power it all
for days
"We are thrilled to be furthering our partnership with Honor, an
international leader in the smartphone industry," says GoPro's
Chief Operating Officer, CJ Prober. "The partnership provides an
excellent opportunity to introduce GoPro to new users around the
world."
The photo gallery of the Honor 8 Pro uses a new feature called
"Highlights," which automatically selects photos and videos for the
user. With a tap of the button, Quik generates a video
synchronized to the beat of the selected music. From there,
the user can share the video or further customize it with
additional filters, transitions, effects and more.
Capturing Unique Perspectives to Share Compelling
Stories
GoPro enables the capture of unique, immersive and hands-free
perspectives that are otherwise difficult to get with a smartphone
or would put the phone and its user at risk. Users can easily
transfer photos and videos from the GoPro camera to the Honor 8 Pro
photo gallery for inclusion in video edits made with the Quik
app.
"GoPro and Honor are the perfect combination for young, active
on-the-go adventurers looking to create engaging content from
anywhere," remarked Prober.
