Honor MagicOS 10 update is ready to enter the streams of OS upgrades in recent times. With every brand bringing their latest OS rollouts in the market, be it the HyperOS 3 from Xiaomi, or the Nothing OS 3.2 update from Nothing, or the FuntouchOS, HONOR doesn’t want to sit back. The brand is hence bringing the MagicOS 10 Update, with the latest fixes inspired by Android 16, and adding the most iconic features that prove its legacy. So, what are these features going to be? Let us figure out inside this blog, where we bring every detail about this OS.
MagicOS 10 Update Release Date: Ruling The Recent Trends
Honor is planning to bring its upcoming OS update, the MagicOS 10, based on the latest Android 16 trends. Amidst the recent launches of HyperOS 3 and Nothing OS 3.2 update, we have seen that the changes have only been in UI, or widgets, rest more or less, the specs stay same.
The MagicOS 10 is also going to be similar, according to me. However, as the trend of MagicOS 9 proved, MagicOS excels other OS upgrades in terms of AI features. Hence, MagicOS 10 might be the best OS upgrade in terms of AI features as well.

MagicOS 10 Release Date
Currently, the rollout dates for this OS upgrade have not been officially announced. The beta testing phase for the Honor MagicOS 10 update will begin around mid-September 2025.
Talking about the release, the fresh release of this OS might take place in October 2025, alongside the much-anticipated Honor Magic 8 series.
Key Features Of MagicOS 10
Liquid Glass UI Inspired By iOS 26?
Well, there are many speculations about Honor MagicOS that it might feature a similar UI upgrade to iOS 26’s liquid glass UI. This is because recently, HyperOS 3 also brought this feature. However, it is not confirmed, and we expect that the Honor MagicOS 10 might not bring this feature.
UI Upgrades
Customizable fonts, lock screen widgets, and better UI upgrades will come alongside MagicOS 10 update.
Productivity Upgrades In MagicOS 10
Just like the Magic OS 9, MagicOS 10 will bring a lots of productivity centric features. There will be upgrades such as split-screen multitasking, AI-generated meeting notes, and smart reminders for improved organisation and productivity.
Smart RAM Feature
There is a unique ‘Smart RAM feature’ in Honor MagicOS 10, which will allow users to physically combine a large amount of real RAM with virtual tech, by using a part of the phone’s memory to expand the RAM. It is much like utilising your Virtual RAM inside your phone.
Smart Device Ecosystem
This OS will bring improved support for Honor’s device ecosystem, enabling seamless connectivity and file-sharing across phones, tablets, and laptops. Moreover, the communication with iOS devices and other Android devices will also become better, which was lacking in previous MagicOS versions.
Smart Capsule
In the MagicOS 10 update, there will also be a ‘Smart capsule’ feature, which will be very similar to Apple’s Dynamic Island feature. This is a notification type cutout that appears at the top of the screen and dynamically changes shape and size to display notifications, alerts, and background activities without interrupting the user experience.
Camera upgrades In MagicOS 10
In the MagicOS 9, we saw an AI photo editor, better camera capabilities and matching camera UI upgrades with other premium-level flagship phones. You will see the similar camera abilities in this OS upgrade as well.
So were the key features of the MagicOS 10. Well, we are sure that this OS upgrade will definitely impress a lot of users across the world. Now, let us check which devices in this OS upgrade is about to come.
