Honor MagicOS 10 Reconstructs the Intelligent Experience: AI Becomes a Partner, and Cross - brand Interconnection Breaks the Ice

After the press conference, we participated in a group interview with Honor's technical team.

On October 23, 2025, at the Honor Global Developers Conference held at the Yanzi Lake International Convention and Exhibition Center in Pingshan, Shenzhen, MagicOS 10 was officially released. The launch of this system marks that the intelligent operating system has begun to develop towards the "partner era". From the AI security technology recognized by Time magazine, to the YOYO assistant that can help select watermelons, and then to the ecological function supporting cross - brand "one - touch connection", Honor has redefined the usage experience of intelligent terminals through three core improvements.

I. Security Upgrade: Edge - side AI Enhances Digital Security Protection Capability

Lu Haisheng, the vice president of Honor MagicOS, introduced that the AI face - swapping detection technology won the "Best Invention" award from Time magazine, mainly because it solved the problem of asymmetric offense and defense. This technology can cover the world's mainstream forgery algorithms with a single model, realizing full - scenario protection from environmental detection to anti - fraud in calls. For example, when a user receives a fraud call for ticket rescheduling, the system will automatically identify whether it is AI - synthesized voice; even when using a third - party call APP, the edge - side detection function can prompt risks in real - time. Since 2022, Honor has started to accumulate relevant technologies, and currently has formed a dual - protection mechanism of "learning fraud patterns + identifying synthesized content".

II. AI Optimization: YOYO Upgrades from a Tool to a Life Assistant

Zhang Chong, the general manager of the AI product department, said that YOYO currently supports more than 3,000 automatic execution scenarios with an accuracy rate of over 95% and can complete up to 14 complex operations. YOYO's improvement relies on a three - layer technical system: the bottom layer is based on a large visual model and an Agent reflection execution framework, the middle layer integrates multi - sensory perception capabilities, and the top layer builds a service closed - loop in cooperation with ecological partners such as Zhidemai. In actual use, YOYO can help users select sweeter watermelons through its "seeing" function, synchronize travel guides to the user's personal knowledge base across platforms, and actively remind users to prepare before a family member's birthday. More importantly, the relevant data is stored on the edge side, which can ensure the privacy and security of users.

III. Experience Improvement: Balancing System Smoothness and Design Aesthetics

In response to the "lag" problem reported by users, Honor launched the Hummingbird Architecture, which includes three major engines: the AI trajectory compensation technology can adjust the sliding animation in real - time according to the operation intensity; the response speed of the page - level scheduling function is twice as fast as that of other brands; the kernel lightweight engine can reduce the storage space occupied by entry - level models by 10%. In terms of design, Wang Qian, the design director, led the team to develop the "Zero - Gravity Transparent Design" in one year. It adapts to wallpapers of different styles through real - time dynamic rendering, extracts key information such as taxi numbers with the help of AI while retaining colors, and realizes the "transparent effect without increasing power consumption" through a light - load architecture. The water - drop ripple animation when unlocking also makes the operation experience more natural.

IV. Ecological Expansion: Breaking Brand Barriers to Achieve Cross - brand Interconnection

Lu Haisheng mentioned that for users who use both Apple and Honor devices, they can now synchronize access control information through a "tap". The core of this cross - brand interconnection technology is a standardized communication protocol: Honor phones can "transmit applications with a tap" to devices without the interconnection APP installed, and currently can cooperate with iOS, HarmonyOS, and Windows systems — iPhone users can directly share iWork files, and Macs can receive animated images from Honor phones. In addition, the "tap" function also supports functions such as team - based games and synchronizing Baidu Map itineraries, solving the interconnection problem between devices of different brands.

V. User Participation: From Listening to Opinions to Jointly Improving the System

Wang Qian, the design director, admitted that some young users previously feedback that the Honor system was "old - fashioned", and the team optimized each of these opinions one by one. Honor collects user needs through channels such as the YOYO Wish Pool, weekly user surveys, and the monthly new iteration plan. Currently, more than 30 user suggestions have been implemented, such as adjusting the stacked background layout and adding a lossless storage compression function. Lu Haisheng said that now Honor has achieved "users make wishes, and Honor fulfills them", and hopes to make the system more in line with user needs in this way.

Future Plans

When talking about the subsequent development of the system, Zhang Chong revealed that a new form of mobile phone will be launched next year, and Wang Qian said that MagicOS 11 will further deepen the concept of "interface - free". From security protection to AI assistants, from a single - brand ecosystem to all - category interconnection, every improvement of Honor MagicOS 10 is moving towards the direction of "letting technology serve the experience", exploring the ideal form of intelligent systems.
