Honor MagicOS Second Wave of 2025 Experience Optimization: Detailed Explanation of New Features and Upgrades

On January 24th, 2025, Honor officially announced the "2025 Second Wave Experience Optimization Preview" on the Honor Club, detailing upcoming new features and functional upgrades for MagicOS. The new version is scheduled for official rollout before the end of February 2025. This update encompasses system fluency, camera experience, in-car connectivity, and numerous detail optimizations, aiming to provide users with a more convenient and intelligent user experience. The following details the update's content:

I. Motion Sickness Reduction Display: Wider Device Compatibility

The first wave of 2025 experience optimizations already introduced the "Motion Sickness Reduction Display" feature to the Magic7/6/5 series and Honor 200 series, effectively mitigating motion sickness when viewing dynamic content. The second wave expands this feature's compatibility to include more models, such as the Magic4, Honor 100, Honor 90, and Honor 80 series.

Due to the differences between the inner and outer screens of foldable phones, adapting the "Motion Sickness Reduction Display" function for these devices is more complex. Its rollout is planned for a later update. Honor commits to continuously monitoring user feedback and will publish a detailed compatibility plan in subsequent "Echo Wall" announcements.

II. Double-Tap to Turn Off Screen: Convenient and Efficient Interaction

This update adds a double-tap-to-turn-off-screen feature. Users can quickly turn off or lock the screen by double-tapping an empty space on the desktop, further enhancing operational efficiency and convenience. This simple yet useful feature provides a smoother and more convenient daily user experience.

III. Honor Car Connectivity Optimization: Smarter, Smoother In-Car Connectivity

The Honor car connectivity system has also received a comprehensive upgrade. This update primarily focuses on optimizing navigation, audio, and connection experiences:

1. Support for Auto-Cruise Functionality in Gaode/Baidu Maps: When the vehicle speed exceeds 30 km/h, the system automatically activates cruise control, providing drivers with a more convenient navigation experience. This feature enhances driving safety and comfort, particularly on long journeys.

2. Optimized CarLife Connection Guidance for Volkswagen and BMW Models: Honor has optimized the CarLife connection guidance process for Volkswagen and BMW models, making the steps clearer and easier. Users can connect to their car infotainment systems more easily, avoiding connection failures or cumbersome operations.

3. Support for Audio Splitting and Audio Quality Optimization: Some products now support audio splitting under the ICCE protocol, allowing users to independently adjust the volume of media, navigation, etc., preventing volume conflicts from affecting the user experience. The system also fixes issues such as no sound, low volume, and poor audio quality in some car infotainment systems, further improving overall car audio quality.

IV. Camera Photo Settings Retention: Personalized Photography Experience

To meet users' needs for personalized photography experiences, this update adds a camera photo settings retention feature. Users can customize parameters such as camera mode, live photos, filters, image styles, HDR, and Eagle Eye capture, and save these custom settings for later use. This feature provides users with a more flexible and personalized photography experience, making taking photos easier.

V. App Cloning: Support for More Apps

This update will support app cloning for over 200 apps, allowing users to log in to different accounts of the same app simultaneously, facilitating switching between work and personal life and improving efficiency. This will provide a more convenient and efficient user experience.

VI. Enhanced Gallery Editing Features: Powerful Image Editing Capabilities

The gallery's image editing features have been significantly enhanced, adding geometric correction, free collage, and continuous text editing, providing users with more powerful image editing capabilities, making photo editing more convenient and efficient.

VII. Expanded Smart Remote Control Functionality: Wider Smart Home Control

Smart remote control functionality has been expanded to include air conditioning light/sleep adjustment and light control, further expanding the range of smart home control and allowing users to control their smart devices more conveniently.

VIII. Other Optimizations: Attention to Detail

In addition to the major feature updates mentioned above, this update also includes many other detail optimizations, such as file name optimization for third-party application call recordings, floating window interaction optimization, split-screen interaction optimization, and copy support for gallery image cutouts, aiming to provide users with a smoother and more convenient operating experience.

IX. King Image Adaptation: Continuous Optimization and Expansion

In the first wave of 2025 optimization updates, the Magic6 Pro/Magic6 Ultimate Edition/Magic6 RSR Porsche Edition received clarity optimizations for outdoor high-brightness scenes with 10-100x telephoto photography. Further optimizations will continue in upcoming versions. The Honor team is also actively adapting the "King Image" feature to the Magic6 series and Magic V3. Because "King Image" requires adaptation of the cloud-based large model to the product's chip platform and camera capabilities, it requires some time for testing and verification to achieve optimal results. Detailed plans will be announced in subsequent "Echo Wall" updates.

X. MagicOS 9.0 Upgrade Plan: X60 Pro/X60/X50 Series Upgrades Nearing Completion

The MagicOS 9.0 upgrade is nearing completion. The final batch of upgrade models, the X60 Pro/X60/X50, are expected to begin internal testing recruitment after the Lunar New Year, with the internal testing version being released in late February 2025. Honor urges users to be patient.

In conclusion, the Honor MagicOS second wave of 2025 experience optimization brings many exciting new features and improvements, covering system fluency, camera experience, in-car connectivity, and numerous detail optimizations, aiming to provide users with a more convenient and intelligent user experience. These improvements demonstrate Honor's continued commitment to enhancing user experience, and this update will undoubtedly bring a more pleasant user experience to Honor users.
