Honor MagicOS 2025 Third Wave Optimization Preview: Quick Focal Length Switching, Immersive Notification Bar, and More

Honor recently announced the "2025 Third Wave Experience Optimization Preview" on its Honor Club, detailing upcoming features and improvements for MagicOS. This update spans camera functionality, system UI, convenient features, and more, aiming to deliver a smoother, more convenient, and personalized user experience. The following details the update:

I. Enhanced Imaging Capabilities: "Da Wang" Imaging Upgrade and Adaptation

Honor is committed to enhancing the user imaging experience. This update focuses on upgrading and adapting the "Da Wang" (meaning "King" or "Supreme") imaging feature. Currently, "Da Wang" Imaging version B157 (second wave of 2025) is being rolled out to the Magic6 Pro/Magic6 Ultimate Edition/Magic6 RSR, primarily optimizing the clarity of night scene 5-100x telephoto photography, significantly improving long-range image quality.

Future "Da Wang" Imaging adaptation will extend to more models. The Honor Magic6 series is expected to receive the update by the end of March, while the Magic V3 is anticipated to receive it in early April. It's worth noting that "Da Wang" adaptation requires consideration of different chip platforms and camera hardware capabilities, along with cloud-based large model adaptation and testing to ensure optimal performance. Honor appreciates users' patience during this process.

II. System UI Optimization: Immersive Notification Bar, Desktop App Hiding, and More

This update includes several system UI optimizations to enhance visual experience and operational efficiency. The immersive notification bar optimization is largely complete for system and third-party apps, supporting static adaptive dark and light mode theme colors, and dynamic color picking for some apps.

However, for some third-party apps like Douyin (TikTok), the intelligent color picking scheme is more complex due to frequent color changes during page scrolling/video playback, and optimization is still underway. The Honor team is actively working to finalize and release the updated version as soon as possible.

Additionally, this update includes the following UI improvements:

• Double-Tap to Turn Off Screen (Lock Screen): Following the desktop double-tap feature, the long-awaited double-tap-to-turn-off function for the lock screen will be introduced in a subsequent update. Development is underway.

• Date-Based Album Tab Display for Magic7 and Honor 300 Series: The album date-based tab display feature is under development and is expected to be released to the Magic7 and Honor 300 series by the end of March.

• Desktop App Hiding: A new app hiding feature allows users to hide app icons, desktop search entries, notifications, and recent tasks, enhancing privacy protection. Users can also enable hidden app names (wordless mode) to hide names on icons, cards, and folders, resulting in a cleaner desktop.

• Customizable Home Screen: Users can customize any screen as their home screen, freely choosing their preferred page layout for improved flexibility.

• Seamless Screen Brightness Adjustment: Supports stepless screen brightness adjustment, allowing users to adapt screen brightness to various lighting conditions for a more comfortable viewing experience.

III. Enhanced Camera Features: Quick Focal Length Switching, Lock Screen Flashlight, etc.

To improve photography efficiency and professionalism, this update enhances camera features:

• Quick Focal Length Switching: Adds quick switching for commonly used focal lengths, with support for custom focal length settings, allowing faster switching and better photo capture.

• Quick Flashlight Access from Lock Screen: A quick flashlight access point is added to the bottom left corner of the lock screen; users can quickly turn on the flashlight by tapping or swiping up.

IV. Other Convenient Feature Enhancements: Online Ringtones, Password Input Haptic Feedback, etc.

Beyond the above, this update includes other convenient feature enhancements:

• Online Ringtones: Supports setting online ringtones, with over 100 new ringtones available for personalization.

• Haptic Feedback for Lock Screen Password Input: Adds haptic feedback during lock screen numeric password input for an improved experience.

• WLAN Password Paste Support: Supports pasting WLAN passwords for improved input efficiency.
