Honor MagicOS's Second Wave of Optimization Arrives: Double-Tap to Turn Off Screen, Enhanced Telephoto Photography, and More

The first wave of Honor MagicOS upgrades delivered numerous surprises and received widespread praise. Now, the second wave of optimizations is here, further enhancing the user experience. With major smartphone manufacturers increasingly focusing on system updates and optimizations, Honor's continued efforts with MagicOS undoubtedly boost its competitiveness and serve as a key selling point.

According to Honor's announcement on the Honor Club forum, "2025 Second Wave Experience Optimization Preview," this update includes a series of new features and optimizations for MagicOS, further refining the user experience.

"Motion Sickness Relief Display" Expanded to More Models

The "Motion Sickness Relief Display" feature, initially launched for the Honor Magic7/6/5 series and Honor 200 series in the first wave of 2025 optimizations, intelligently adjusts screen refresh rate and brightness to alleviate visual fatigue and motion sickness from prolonged screen scrolling or viewing dynamic content. This second wave expands this feature to the Magic4, Honor 100, Honor 90, and Honor 80 series. Honor also announced plans to gradually adapt the feature to foldable phones, acknowledging the added complexity due to the unique characteristics of inner and outer screens. The team is working diligently to bring this benefit to more users as soon as possible.

New Convenient Features Enhance User Efficiency

The highly anticipated "Double-Tap to Turn Off Screen" feature is added. Users can quickly turn off or lock their screen by double-tapping an empty area on the desktop, eliminating the need to search for the power button.

Honor Connect also receives a comprehensive upgrade, optimizing navigation, audio, and connection experiences for a smoother and more convenient in-car experience.

Additionally, the new "Retain Camera Settings" feature allows users to save customized camera settings, including camera mode, live photos, filters, image style, HDR, and eagle-eye capture, for quicker access during subsequent shoots.

App Cloning, Enhanced Photo Album, and Expanded Smart Remote Control

This optimization also includes 200+ app cloning features, allowing users to log into multiple accounts on the same device. The photo album function is upgraded with features like geometric correction, free collage, and continuous text editing. Smart remote control functionality is expanded to include air conditioner and light sleep adjustments, and lamp control, further broadening intelligent home applications.

Continued Improvement in Imaging Capabilities, Accelerated "King of Imaging" Feature Adaptation

Honor continues to boost its imaging capabilities. The Honor Magic6 Pro/Magic6 Ultimate Edition/Magic6 RSR Porsche Design Edition already received clarity optimizations for 10-100x telephoto photography in bright outdoor scenes in the first 2025 optimization wave. This update accelerates the adaptation of the "King of Imaging" feature to more models, including the Magic6 series and Magic V3, promising enhanced telephoto shooting experiences.

MagicOS 9.0 Upgrade Plan Completion, Classic Models to Receive Updates

Users of classic models like the Honor X60 Pro/X60/X50 will also receive good news. The MagicOS 9.0 upgrade plan is nearing completion. The final batch of upgradeable models (X60 Pro/X60/X50) is expected to begin internal testing recruitment after the Lunar New Year, with the internal test version released in late February 2025. This means these classic models will also experience the new features and optimizations of MagicOS 9.0. Note that the internal test version is not the official release, and the user experience may differ from the final version. Users prioritizing stability are advised to wait for the official release.

Summary

Honor MagicOS's second wave of experience optimizations delivers numerous new features and upgrades existing ones, comprehensively improving the user experience. From the expansion of "Motion Sickness Relief Display" to the addition of convenient features like "Double-Tap to Turn Off Screen," and the continued improvements in imaging capabilities and system upgrades for classic models, Honor demonstrates its commitment to user experience and continuous improvement. With ongoing optimization and refinement of Honor MagicOS, users can expect an increasingly better experience, and Honor will undoubtedly reap the rewards of enhanced reputation.
