HONOR is rolling out MagicOS 10, based on Android 16, to the global version of its Magic 7 Pro smartphone. The update, which began in China several months ago, brings a host of improvements and new features designed to enhance the user experience. While the rollout is staged, HONOR anticipates the update will reach all devices within the coming days, though availability may vary based on region and network conditions.
The MagicOS 10 update for the HONOR Magic 7 Pro carries firmware version 10.0.0.121 and requires a substantial download of approximately 3.27GB according to GSMarena. Users are advised to connect to a stable Wi-Fi network and ensure sufficient storage space before initiating the download.
Performance and Visual Enhancements
A key focus of MagicOS 10 is performance optimization. The update introduces the Turbo X Performance Interface, aiming to boost the responsiveness and fluidity of everyday tasks. Android Headlines reports that animation curves have been refined for smoother app launching and exiting and the system now supports parallel operations when swiping on the home screen. Keyboard typing is also reported to be more responsive.
Visually, MagicOS 10 brings a redesigned Control Center with a dark background and colorful icons for improved clarity. Users can also enjoy new clock face designs for the lock screen and a native Extra Dim mode, reducing the screen’s white point for comfortable nighttime viewing.
Magic Capsule and AI-Powered Features
HONOR’s Magic Capsule feature has been expanded with the new update. It now integrates charging status and screen recording information, providing real-time status updates and quick access controls. The AI Screenshot function has also been improved, learning from user habits to intelligently recommend relevant services.
Enhanced Connectivity and File Sharing
One of the most notable additions is improved cross-platform connectivity. MagicOS 10 enables seamless file sharing with iPhones via OneTap, provided the HONOR Connect app on the iOS device is updated to version 1.1.18111 or later. Kazam.mobi details that HONOR also offers companion apps – HONOR WorkStation for macOS and HONOR Super Workbench for Windows – to facilitate file transfer and collaboration.
Additional Features and Improvements
Beyond these core enhancements, MagicOS 10 includes several other improvements. These include Call Translation within the HONOR AI settings, support for the Bluetooth codec LHDC 5.0, a redesigned camera interface, and improvements to the gallery app. The update also optimizes the user experience with features like improved animation curves and parallel operations during home screen swipes.
The HONOR Magic 7 Pro is available in configurations with 512GB of storage and 12GB of RAM (originally priced at $990, currently discounted to $858.42) and a higher-end version with 1TB of storage and 16GB of RAM ($1,130) as noted by Kazam.mobi.
