The HONOR 400 Pro gets MagicOS 9 and the POCO F7 Pro gets Xiaomi HyperOS 2. HONOR’s MagicOS 8 (Android 14) is now seeding with its latest version internationally. These updates have been missing from other MagicOS variants since HONOR became an independent company. MagicOS 8 users can now enjoy a longer battery life thanks in part to the awaited Ultra Power Saving mode. The MagicOS UI also brings the MagicLM large language model with seven billion parameters to flagship devices. While both run Android 16 out of the box, the HONOR 600 Pro and the Xiaomi 17T Pro come with MagicOS 10 and HyperOS 3, respectively. Meanwhile, MagicOS 10 has much better glass blur across the system. I also like that MagicOS is more feature-rich with stuff like Magic Portal and AI Memories which makes use of the additional physical button on the right.
