The Chinese tech giant Honor has officially announced the launch dates for its Honor Magic 7 series smartphones as well as the new MagicOS 9.0. The latest version of MagicOS will be unveiled on October 23 during an event in China. Following that, the new Magic 7 series smartphones will be introduced on October 30 in the same location.
Earlier this year, on January 11, Honor released the Magic 6 series along with MagicOS 8.0. Now, they are bringing a next-gen Magic series smartphone and a new operating system much sooner than they typically do.
Insights on MagicOS 9.0
Let’s dive into what’s special about MagicOS 9.0. Honor has shared multiple features that will be included in this upcoming update. With AI being a hot topic throughout the year, it’s not surprising to see Honor integrating AI functionalities into their flagship smartphones.
MagicOS 9.0 will introduce a variety of new AI features, including an AI Agent that was showcased at IFA 2024 last month. This AI Agent acts as a personal assistant, designed to compete with established players like Google Gemini and Apple Intelligence. Honor claims that this AI agent uses language comprehension and UI awareness to interpret user requests accurately.
Details on the Magic 7 Series
In addition, Honor has confirmed that the Magic 7 Series will launch exactly one week after the release of MagicOS 9.0. A tipster on Weibo has indicated that the upcoming series may feature five different models. Before the official launch, several specifications of the Magic 7 Pro have leaked online. It is anticipated that the Pro model will be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 4/Elite processor, paired with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. Additionally, the smartphone is expected to support 100W fast charging, come with a curved display, and include an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor.
With just two weeks remaining until the official unveiling of the series, we can look forward to more information about the Magic 7 series and MagicOS 9.0 in the days ahead.
