MagicOS 10: What's New

At the Honor Magic 8 series launch event, Honor introduced its latest MagicOS 10, built on Android 16. The update introduces improvements to Honor's AI assistant Yoyo, which can now be triggered via the AI button. It analyses the camera viewfinder instantly to provide relevant answers for users. Additionally, users can swipe with three fingers to quickly access saved to-do lists and photos.

The Yoyo assistant can help users with a wide range of tasks, like ordering food and clothes, to handling daily errands. With the new MCP architecture, Yoyo offers improved system integration.
