MagicOS 11: Android 17, a new design and YOYO Next

Honor has introduced MagicOS 11, based on Android 17. The new version brings transparent interface elements inspired by Apple Liquid Glass and the YOYO Next assistant, which can automate tasks of up to 100 steps. The beta test includes 17 Honor phone and tablet models.

Built on Android 17

MagicOS 11 uses Android 17 as the foundation for system features, security and app compatibility. Android 17 also brings improvements to data and power management that may help devices run more efficiently. Honor builds on this foundation with its own interface and AI features.

Beta for 17 Honor models

The MagicOS 11 beta test includes 17 phone and tablet models. These include devices from the Magic V5, Magic V6 and Magic8 series, as well as the Honor 600 and WIN lines. Supported variants also include Porsche Design, Super Edition and Vitality Edition models.

The figure of 17 refers to devices included in the beta test, not general availability of the finished update. If you own a device from one of these ranges, check whether your specific model is supported and what the beta eligibility requirements are. The ranges listed above are not a complete list of all 17 devices.

YOYO Next handles tasks of up to 100 steps

The system-integrated YOYO Next assistant can automatically carry out complex tasks of up to 100 steps. For longer, repetitive processes, it may save users from having to perform individual actions manually.

An interface inspired by Apple Liquid Glass

MagicOS 11 also changes the look of the interface. Inspired by Apple Liquid Glass, the design uses transparent layers, reflections, dynamic elements and smooth animations. The changes primarily affect the visual experience of everyday phone and tablet use.
