MagicOS 7.0 features a familiar design with flat icons and cards, plus a new custom font called Honor Sans that complements the streamlined design.

The new skin now has a built-in video editor, the ‘MagicRing’ for seamless operation between Honor devices (laptops or tablets) like file transfers, clipboard, notifications and call management. Honor also introduced ‘TurboX’ which claims to launch apps faster and optimize system-level power consumption.

There’s also ‘Magic Text’ that scans texts on images to save as PDF. And the ‘MagicGuard’ for security, finance, and privacy protection that also acts as anti-malware.

Honor shared the initial list of devices that will get the MagicOS 7.0 upgrade, although this is only particular to China, we should expect the list of global devices and rollout any time soon.
