Honor is rolling out a new system update for the Honor Magic 4 and Honor Magic 5 series of smartphones in China. The latest software update for the handsets brings along several quality-of-life features.

Additionally, the new firmware build bumps up the security patch level. Despite being almost similar, this update arrives with different build numbers for both lineups.

According to ITHome, the new software update for Honor flagship smartphones comes with the following build numbers.

• Honor Magic 4 Series – MagicOS 7.0.0.170
• Honor Magic 5 Series – MagicOS 7.1.0.183

These firmware builds weigh 803MB and 579MB, respectively.

The official changelog mentions six important things included with this update. First and foremost, the update increases the security patch level to November 2023.

Further, the update introduces  ‘Pure Status Bar’. This mode only shows time, WiFi, network, and battery level.

Then, the update adds YOYO suggestion switch and automatic brightness button in the Control Center. It also enables double-clicking the volume down button in the locked state to turn on/off the flashlight.

Floating window feature adds support for more applications. Finally, the Gallery app gets custom album cover and password lock functions for hidden albums.

Like any other OTA system update, this one too is being rolled out in batches. Therefore, some users may receive it earlier while others might have to wait.

We are not sure if and when these features will be available outside mainland China. They will likely reach in some capacity in the near future.
