Honor announces launch dates for Magic7 series, MagicOS 9.0

Honor just scheduled a couple of big events in China to take place in the following weeks. On October 23, the company will introduce MagicOS 9.0 – its take on Android 15. The interface will first appear on the Honor Magic7 flagships, set to debut exactly one week later, on October 30.

The new MagicOS 9.0 will have a new set of AI features, including an AI Agent, an always-on personal assistant aimed at competing with Apple Intelligence and Google Gemini. The service was first demoed at IFA 2024, and we also saw a video of it on an Honor Magic7 phone, revealing an oval-shaped punch hole for the selfie camera.

The new Magic7 phones are expected to have a Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset but we wouldn’t be surprised to see Honor use the Dimensity 9400 platform for the vanilla phone. There are more than two weeks until the arrival of the series, in which we expect to learn more about specs and features.
