Honor announced the Honor 200 launch date and its new 4-layer AI architecture earlier today. While at the stage at the VivaTech event, CEO George Zhao, made one more major announcement – Honor 90 and Honor Magic V2 phones will get Magic OS 8.0 this month.
There are under 10 days until the end of this month, meaning software updates should be reaching devices any moment now. Magic5 Pro flagships already started receiving earlier this year.
The MagicOS 8.0 is based on Android 14 and comes with AI features, powered by MagicLM – Honor’s large language model for generative AI. It also brings Magic Portal, a feature offering context-based apps and services through shortcut recommendations via a side swipe.

We already tested some of the internationally available AI features on the Magic6 Pro with MagicOS 8 out of the box. We found you can easily search online for any item you see pictured on a shopping site like eBay; you could also tap a message of a place to visit and Google Maps will bring up the address without any copy/paste.
