Honor has started rolling out the MagicOS 9.0.0.182 update for its Magic 7 series smartphones in China. The OTA package is approximately 1.57GB in size and brings a mix of camera upgrades, AI tools, system enhancements, and expanded cross-device compatibility.
What’s new in this update?
The camera app now features a film simulation mode that replicates analog film aesthetics, offering six preset styles via the rear portrait mode. It also adds new watermark options like “White Full Frame,” “Black Full Frame,” and “Film Border,” which can be updated online through the camera settings
The gallery gains a Smart Cutout feature that uses AI to isolate subjects in photos, allowing them to be repositioned against alternate backgrounds. This tool is accessible through Magic Retouch under AI Edit.
The update has also introduced an AI Writing Assistant under the Honor AI & YOYO settings to enhance productivity. This tool supports text summarization, rewriting, translation, and length adjustments. To use it, users must update the Honor AI Basic Services.
Honor has improved the system experience by enabling users to set dynamic photos from the gallery as lockscreen wallpapers. It has introduced a new keyboard lift feature that simplifies switching between voice input and text typing. Additionally, the update places a standalone AI Translate app icon directly on the home screen for easier access.
Honor Share now supports cross-brand file transfers with Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi, and other devices, as long as both ends have file sharing enabled. The system also supports importing notes and contacts from iPhones and iPads, thanks to Honor’s participation in the Cross-Platform Transfer Alliance.
Honor CarLink adds support for QQ Music and video platforms, including Bilibili, iQIYI, Youku, and Honor Video. The update also addresses audio stutter and silent playback issues. The MagicOS 9.0.0.182 update includes the July 2025 Android security patch.
