Rumors have finally settled. On November 22, Honor officially released the MagicOS 7.0 operating system, which may be compatible with , Hongmeng , iOS and other operating systems in the future. Honor Terminal Co., Ltd. CEO Zhao Ming introduced that Honor operating system includes four technologies: trust ring, smart engine, system engine and Honor security, which can realize the interconnection between different chip platforms and operating systems.
Zhao Ming said that Honor will no longer build an operating system similar to Android and Hongmeng, but chooses to connect different operating systems. He revealed that Honor will consider compatible adaptation work for Hongmeng in response to consumer needs in the future.
If OS is compared to a house, UI is just the decoration design of the house. In the past two years, mobile phone manufacturers have been scrambling to turn UI into OS. Zhao Ming said, "From UI to OS, it is inevitable for Honor's strategic upgrade. As a strategic fulcrum for the future, MagicOS aims to break through the limitations of a device-centered stand-alone OS and bring people-centered, cross-system, cross-device, and cross-ecology smart life solutions."
Just from the release content, Magic OS is no longer in the traditional Android category. Honor proposed the MagicRing trust ring for the first time, which is a technical solution based on the identity authentication system to realize trusted interconnection across multiple devices and enable services to intelligently flow and share between devices. Compared with point-to-point manual connection under the traditional Internet ecosystem, in this solution, different devices under the same account can realize self-discovery, self-networking, and self-connection of multiple devices, combining the device's environment perception and the platform-based AI capabilities of the Magic Live smart engine to realize resource and service flow sharing.
From the demonstration, the biggest change is that it can realize functions such as keyboard and mouse sharing, notification and call sharing, application connection. After the PC, tablet and mobile phone with the same account automatically form a trust ring, multi-device cross-end operation can be achieved. Calls and notifications can be automatically streamed from the mobile phone to the currently used device for cross-screen answering, viewing and replying; application services can also achieve cross-end traffic. This function currently supports applications such as WPS, Youku, Honor Notes, etc.
Due to the closed ecosystem, different devices from different brands have large differences in systems and hardware. The general capabilities of single devices in the past cannot be directly used in cross-end scenarios. How to achieve a seamless and collaborative cross-end experience with low thresholds and how to provide a one-stop experience with convenient circulation around user needs is an unprecedented challenge facing the industry. However, with the surge in smart devices and the development of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, the process of integration of everything accelerates, and the barriers to equipment, ecology and systems are gradually broken.
was first released by Huawei Hongmeng. In the second half of this year, OPPO also released its first self-developed smart cross-end system Pantanal. But this time Honor should be the first to call for a mobile phone manufacturer that is compatible with iOS and Hongmeng.
In addition, on MagicOS 7.0, Honor has also fully opened 22 Kits in five major scenarios: mobile office, sports and health, smart home, smart travel, and audio and video entertainment to its partners, and released 32 capabilities open sub-solutions. Not only can multi-device collaboration be achieved, but these capabilities can also be utilized by third-party developers, which is difficult to achieve by Android alone.
On November 17, 2020, the Honor brand was moved out of the entire organization from the Huawei system. According to data from the international data agency IDC, in the third quarter of 2022, Honor shipped about 12.7 million mobile phones in the Chinese market, with a market share of 17.9%, ranking second.
