    Honor Magic 7 Gets Powerful New YOYO AI Tools — Here’s What’s New

    Honor is rolling out a new MagicOS 10 update to the Magic 7 series, introducing a range of YOYO AI features alongside broader system improvements. The April 2026 update is now being pushed to devices, with the Magic 7 lineup among the first to receive the firmware.

    This release focuses heavily on AI enhancements while also refining the Honor Connect app. Honor has made changes across multiple parts of the system, including the Magic Capsule, home screen, and lock screen. The update also improves overall system stability and strengthens device security.

    A key highlight is the expanded YOYO AI functionality. In the Magic Capsule, Honor has added a new “meal pickup code” tool that notifies users when it’s time to collect an order and displays the associated delivery code.

    The update also introduces an “Ask YOYO” option within the screenshot interface. Users can upload a screenshot and ask questions about its content, making it easier to extract information directly from images.

    Another addition allows users to convert images into documents in just a few steps, further extending the assistant’s practical capabilities.

    The update is arriving as MagicOS version 10.0.0.150 for the Honor Magic 7 series.

It highly preserves the accuracy and structural integrity of the original text, achieving a “what you see is what you get” experience, making mobile office work more convenient and efficient.
    • Added YOYO Helper, supporting simultaneous audio and text recording during online/offline meetings. It can assist with Q&A and provide intelligent reminders during the meeting, and intelligently generate meeting minutes afterward.

    Honor’s lock screen widgets are here — these devices get them first

    For the initial batch of devices, Honor will start distributing new lock screen widgets today. The company has formally declared that a new version of the MagicOS smartphones would have intriguing additions and modifications in the near future.

    The business will release new lock screen widgets for Honor devices running MagicOS 10.0.0.150, according to official information. The MagicOS 10.0.0126 build version will provide customers of Magic V6 foldables with the most recent improvements.

    According to the business, the new lock screen widgets will be installed on the initial batch of devices on April 1st. Later on, the new modifications will be applied to the other devices.

    Honor described the new rollout as follows:

    “First of all, thank you for your continued attention to the lock screen widgets. This feature will be supported in MagicOS version 10.0.0.150 in April and will be rolled out to everyone gradually. We will answer your questions in advance.”

    Additional information indicates that more than 20 lock screen widgets will be supported by the initial batch of smartphones. Real-time weather, air quality, UV index, timetable, alarm clock, YOYO (a fitness app), battery level, WeChat, and Alipay capabilities are all included in the list.

    Users can try upgrading the relevant app, such as the clock, weather, and others, if a widget is absent from the settings or widget panel. Additionally, the lower left corner of the screen displays the step count statistics and other health-related information.

    According to Honor, the official software team moved the lock screen step count to a unique step count widget and improved the overall visual appeal.

    The business also stated that it will keep considering user input and offer more crucial widgets in the future. Currently, Honor Music, Notes, Calculator, Voice Recorder, Timer, and Stopwatch are among the widgets being developed. Third-party widgets might soon be added to the lock screen as well.

    HONOR MagicOS 10 rollout plan: features, eligible devices, and release dates

    At the company’s first Global Developer Conference in Shenzhen, China, HONOR unveiled its most recent MagicOS 10 version, which is based on Android 16.

    The business is integrating its enhanced HONOR AI Connect platform with its new 1x3xN ecosystem technology with the HONOR MagicOS 10.

    This new framework will make their AI stack available to partners worldwide (the “1”), assist them with three enablement tasks (the “3”), and scale across various industry clusters (the “N”), such as office and education, wearables and audio, smart homes, toys, and pets.

    The new MagicOS represents a “multi-dimensional jump from a conventional OS to a real AI OS,” according to HONOR.

    MagicOS 10.0

    The enhanced YOYO helper, which is driven by MagicLM 3.0 and can now “see, recall, and execute,” is a significant new feature.

    With only one swipe, users will be able to ask YOYO to manage routine chores and workflows. Food ordering, shopping, ride-hailing, Magic Color color grading, and sophisticated command-based image editing are some of these casks.

    Additionally, it will provide smooth pairing and transfers across HONOR devices, other Android phones, iOS, and Windows.

    It will also feature a brand-new Zero Gravity Transparency Design. It will have translucent visual effects that strike a compromise between performance and aesthetics, just like the upcoming iOS 26.

    Honor rumored to start MagicOS 10 beta testing with Android 16

    Honor gives major software updates for its handsets first priority, and with MagicOS 10 beta testing, it appears the company may soon advance this strategy. According to a leak, the Chinese OEM may take this action in the days ahead.

    According to DigitalChatStation, two well-known companies, Honor MagicOS 10 and OPPO ColorOS 16, will begin beta testing their Android 16 skins this month. The precise timeframe for this operation was not disclosed by the tipster, but it might start before the end of August.

    In addition to OPPO/Honor, Xiaomi and Vivo can begin testing their Android 16 software version for qualified devices and search for new features.

    Honor MagicOS 10 already seen

    In April, Honor revealed the Magic 7 Pro’s initial Android 16 developer preview. Only developers with certain features and enhancements have access to it.

    The MagicOS version test for the Magic 7 Pro phone, which is based on the Android 16 Beta, was introduced by the firm in May. Again, this beta activity was limited to developers.

    However, Honor may expand this software exploration pool with additional devices through the MagicOS 10 beta testing. Users may be able to preview the new features and improvements of the next MagicOS version thanks to this procedure.

    Additionally, users of Honor smartphones will have the opportunity to comment on the software experience, report bugs and problems, and recommend any additional features or adjustments for the MagicOS 10 operating system, which is based on Android 16.

    It’s unknown what gadgets will be included in this process and how the company will begin. However, as the month draws to a close, we might learn more information on this topic. Keep an eye out.

    Honor 400 Series – 6 years of updates and huge battery

    On May 22, the Honor 400 and Honor 400 Pro models were introduced to the European market as part of the Honor 400 series. Honor has revealed that both smartphones would come with six years of Android updates prior to their much-anticipated release. The series will have artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities driven by the Veo 2 video generation model, allowing users to convert photos into brief videos as part of the company’s long-standing partnership with Google.

    Honor 400 Series Gets Extended Update Support

    Honor claims that six years of Android OS updates will be included with its next smartphones, the Honor 400 and the Honor 400 Pro. The business highlights that its Honor Alpha Plan, a three-step strategy to establish an open artificial intelligence (AI) ecosystem, includes its long-standing partnership with Google and other industry partners.

    Using Google’s Veo 2 video generating paradigm, it has also been proven that the Honor series supports AI picture to video generation on Vertex. Along with live photos, users will be able to turn static images, including artwork and old photos, into brief videos that last five to seven seconds. This feature, however, is anticipated to be introduced through an over-the-air (OTA) update and won’t be available right out of the box.

    The China-based OEM claims to have been offering the Android 16 Beta program on the Honor Magic 7 Pro since May 7, with Google I/O 2025 being in the rearview mirror. To test out the new capabilities and migrate their apps to the future OS, developers can update their smartphones to Android 16 Beta 3.

    Honor 400 Series specs

    It has been revealed that the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset powers the vanilla Honor 400. It will include two cameras on the back: a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens and a 200-megapixel primary camera. It also has an IP66-rated construction and a 50-megapixel selfie camera.

    In the meantime, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC will power the Honor 400 Pro. A 200-megapixel primary camera, a 50-megapixel telephoto lens, and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide sensor make up its confirmed triple back camera set. For video chats and selfies, the phone will have a 50-megapixel front-facing camera. It will be shipped with an IP68 + IP69 rating to prevent water and dust intrusion.
