New in MagicOS 7.0: better connectivity, AI performance and three layers of protection
Among the many novelties brought by MagicOS 7.0, those related to device control and ease of use stand out. The new features added in the latest version of the Honor Personalization Layer are:
- Intelligent connectivity thanks to MagicRing, which will allow us to share services between different computers and devices. With very low power consumption, we have interconnection with other devices from our mobile, for example, we can use the keyboard and mouse to manage different devices, not just the one to which they are connected. On the other hand, we can answer calls that come to the phone from the computer.
-
Smart help with Magic Live Engine, an engine that will offer us recommendations based on our tastes and needs depending on the scenario in which we find ourselves. With this, we will be able to complete our tasks earlier and more efficiently.
-
Text recognition in images with the Magic Text function. This utility will recognize the text of an image that we are viewing to later convert it into a file, something similar to what we can do with Lens. An example of this would be analyzing text on a whiteboard or poster and converting it to PDF. A breakthrough for productivity.

Second honor, Magic OS 7.0 offers us a Improved performance with HONOR OS Turbo X, HONOR GPU Turbo X and HONOR Link Turbo X technologiesIn this sense, the AI will provide our mode of use to the system to improve response and increase speed and fluidity. HONOR Link Turbo X will monitor network connections, making them more efficient.
