IT之家 October 21 news: According to tips from IT之家 friends, the developer documentation for the Honor AI FreeGrip feature shows: currently, grip events are only supported on bar-type models and only trigger callbacks in portrait orientation,and in the future it will support irregular-screen device form factors such as wide foldables.。
To help developers more precisely adapt to users' different grip styles and improve the convenience and comfort of interactions, Honor has opened up the AI FreeGrip capability, providing third-party apps with low-latency, low-mistouch grip-state recognition,allowing developers to dynamically optimize the interface and interaction experience based on the user's actual grip style.。
The AI FreeGrip capability is mainly suited to the following scenarios:
One-handed grip scenario: when the user holds the device with one hand, the interaction entry points on the opposite side (buttons, Tabs, floating ball, etc.) are migrated to the holding side, reducing the thumb's reach distance.
Two-handed grip scenario: when the user holds the device with both hands (e.g., landscape gaming, reading, or reading news-type Feeds), it switches to a symmetrical layout, removes the side offset, and improves the symmetry of two-handed operation.
No-grip scenario: when the device is placed on a desk or stand, the default layout is restored.
Currently, models such as the Honor Magic8 RSR Porsche Design, Magic8 Pro, Magic8, Magic7 series, WIN series, GT Pro, and Magic6 series support AI FreeGrip after upgrading to MagicOS 11. The Magic8 Pro Air and Magic5 series are expected to gain support in mid-November (month 11).
