Zhao Ming – the CEO of Honor Devices recently attended a live broadcast along with the Chairman of 360 Group Zhou Hongyi. During the interview, the executive showcased the front side of the Magic 7 series and described some of its features.

One of the significant features of the Honor Magic 7 series is the cross-app file sharing. It ensures a seamless sharing of media files and documents between multiple applications on the device. It prevents any interruption during the process.

But what’s so special about this feature?

The new cross-app file-sharing feature can be managed by one-sentence capability. Simply put, the user has to instruct the smartphone about the file-sharing process and it will automatically perform all the steps, just like when done manually.

Zhao shared a video on its Weibo channel describing how the “one sentence cross-app file-sharing” feature works. As soon as the device or the smart assistant gets the command to share media files, it directs the follow for the following steps:

• Search the file or media content
• Select it
• Share the file with the required app

The feature also supports WeChat app operations. Users can command and the feature will select the contact to whom they want to send any image, video, and more.

Honor tied up with China Mobile to develop AI intelligent interoperability. With this technology, the Magic 7 series will support the one-sentence (one command) feature to recharge your phone, check bills, order food items, or share files across apps.

Zhao Ming took part in a recent livestream interview. He talked about many subjects like AI, large models, business sectors, the Magic 7 series, new features, and more.

During the interrogation, several netizens asked the CEO if Honor would use Kirin chips for its devices anytime. In response, Zhao Ming said that he’s pretty much aware that users hope for such an opportunity. They are eagerly waiting to see the Kirin chip powering Honor smartphones with a new performance boost.

Although it’s unlikely to happen in the short term. Honor has good cooperation with Qualcomm and prefers Snapdragon processors for its flagship models.

“The possibility of using Kirin chips in the short term is not very high and I know everyone also hopes for such an opportunity.” – said Zhao Ming.

The 360 Group Chairman – Zhou Hongyi questioned if Honor isn’t considering Kirin chips due to its low production capacity and limited supply. Zhao answered that he had no idea about the production volume or any other matter related to it.

It’s not the first time that Honor denied using Kirin chips for its devices. The company’s CMO Jiang Hairong also refuted such rumors saying it’s complete nonsense.

Honor does have the values and core characteristics of Huawei. Although it believes that it can no longer become Huawei and would like to remain a separate company. Zhao also clarified in previous interviews that Honor can defeat its all rivals even if it begins things from scratch.

The CEO stated that the new-gen Honor Magic 7 series will run on Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. We can expect dynamic performance boost with the Magic 7 series.

Zhao Ming and the Chairman of 360 Group, Zhou Hongyi recently attended a live broadcast event. During the interview, the CEO showcased the Honor Magic 7, mainly its front design. He also operated the device to show its major features.

Front Design

Magic 7 phone shows curvy corners on the front side. It has thinner bezels around the screen and exhibits a clean look. The sides of the handset reflect a slight curve all around. Perhaps, the new phone may continue to feature the quad-curved outlook.

Another segment is the pill-shaped design. Honor Magic 7 will also bring the same pill cutout as its predecessors. The design may adopt a selfie lens and a 3D face recognition system.

Back Design

The executive completely covered the back design with a rugged phone case to hide the camera module. Although two lens openings (in a diagonal arrangement) and an LED Flash are visible through the cover. Another strip opening hints at laser focus.

Since the back design is covered with the case, the accurate details are unknown. But the OEM may reveal the entire design with new teasers in the upcoming days.

Apart from the phone, the CEO also described how its smart voice assistant has become even smarter. It can perform various tasks with just a single statement.

Zhao demonstrated the order takeout feature on the Magic 7 smartphone. He said “Order three cups of American coffee” and the device immediately searched for the item and completed the order within minutes. Notably, one has to submit the order and complete the payment without worrying about any other task.

More such features are on the way and we may witness them with the official unveiling of the Honor Magic 6 series on October 30.

SmartPikachu recently noted that the next-gen digital series – Honor 300 might equip smaller screen sizes than its predecessors. The leak adds that these smartphones will launch next year, probably with a new design and surprising features.

The input doesn’t reveal the display panel size. Hence, the exact parameters of the screen are unclear. Although it will likely be less than the 6.7-inch (Honor 200).

A few netizens predicted that the Honor 300 series screen could be around 6.3 or 6.1-inch. Some said that the company could introduce the standard variant with a smaller screen while keeping the high-end variants confined to large display panels.

Small-screen devices may again become a trend soon. Due to less growth and changes in the smartphone market, many tech vendors ditch the small device idea.

One of the examples is the iPhone 13 mini. Apple stopped launching “Mini” models due to a decline in the respective phone’s sales. On the flip side, Samsung continued to impress its customers with the 6.1-inch standard Galaxy S series handsets.

Honor might be planning a new strategy with the smaller screen phones in the consumer market. The company hasn’t confirmed any details regarding the Honor 300 series. Hence, let’s take the current input with a grain of salt.

The Chinese OEM launched the Honor 200 series in May this year. It has a 6.7-inch OLED screen with 1200 x 2664 pixels resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, 4000 nits peak brightness, and 436PPI. The device has 5G and dual-SIM capability.

It runs on Android 14-based MagicOS 8.0 and equips the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset paired with Adreno 720 GPU. The phone features an optical fingerprint sensor, accelerometer, gyro, compass, and Circle to Search feature as well.

Honor 200 series sports a tri-cam setup consisting of a 50MP main lens, a 12MP ultrawide, and a 50MP telephoto shooter. The front part holds a 50MP selfie sensor for amazing portraits. The device packs a 5200mAh cell with 100W wired and 5W reverse wired charging support.

Amid the X60 series teasers, Honor shared a big promo poster revealing the launch of MagicOS 9.0 and Magic 7 series for October. The dynamic software will debut on October 23 with impressive capabilities and some significant AI features.

Meanwhile, the Magic 7 series flagship will go official on October 30. The company will host two different launch events for its premium products this month.

 “Leading the AI revolution, redefining the intelligent era. On October 23, #HonorMagicOS# 9.0 will be launched, and on October 30, the #HonorMagic7# series flagship new products will be launched. We invite you to witness the magic of AI together” – wrote Honor.

MagicOS 9.0 and AI Agent

The next week will be full of excitement as the MagicOS 9.0 will step into the real world. Honor has seemingly made useful amendments to the existing features and may introduce better capabilities with the upcoming software upgrade.

AI Agent, on the other hand, claims to focus on four major aspects. These are as follows:

• Natural understanding and computer vision
• User behavior and habit learning + scenarios understanding
• Intent recognition and decision-making
• In-app and cross-app operations

Zhao Ming – the CEO of Honor Devices said during an event that AI Agent will help Honor users to complete various smartphone operations in one sentence.

Magic 7 series

The latest announcement is in line with the previous revelation. Magic 7 series will likely be the first to use the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. Many other flagship smartphones are also launching ahead of the Magic 7 series. Yet they might equip the Dimensity 9400 chipset.

A recent leak suggested that Honor Magic 7 Pro may adopt an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. Most of the camera specs and internal features would be similar to the predecessors. But there would be some major changes to boost the user experience.

Other specs and details about the new products will gradually come into the light.

Weibo tipster @DigitalChatStation says that the Honor Magic 7 Pro could use a single-point ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. This tech generally uses sound waves to generate a 3D picture of a user’s fingerprint for screen unlocking purposes.

Let’s learn more about the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor!

A single-point ultrasonic fingerprint sensor is an advanced biometric authentication method. It uses sound waves as an ultrasonic pulse and transmits them against your finger (when placed on the scanner). These pulses line out every minute detail of the fingerprint including ridges and small pores.

Ultrasonic fingerprint scanner can work even if your fingers are dirty or wet. They provide more security over other alternatives and are easier to use on phones.

Optical vs Ultrasonic: Difference

Ultrasonic fingerprint sensors are superior to optical ones! Why? Well, the former generates a 3D image of your fingerprint with all ridges and valleys. Whereas, the latter technology captures only fine lines on your fingertips in a 2D image.

The optical fingerprint scanners often lag and can easily be fooled. But it’s just the opposite with the ultrasonic option. It is faster, more accurate, and much safer.

For reference, Honor Magic 6 Pro equips an optical fingerprint sensor. The option isn’t bad, but some users reported that it takes a couple of tries before unlocking the screen. Many users even recommended face unlock rather than the fingerprint.

Perhaps to avoid this issue with the Magic 7 Pro, Honor may adopt the very useful – ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. The company hasn’t confirmed the news so far. Hence, let’s wait for some official confirmation on this matter.

Honor Magic 7 Pro will likely support 100W fast wired charging. It will also adopt full-speed wireless charging. The device may feature a quad-curve OLED panel with equal depth. The battery would be the same as the Magic 6 Pro (5600mAh).

Regarding the camera details, the tipster said that the primary camera and periscope shooter could be similar to the previous-gen model. Although Honor could use a new OmniVision main camera for the standard model, replacing the OV50H.

More details are on the way and will be clear in the upcoming days.

A Weibo tipster has shared the key specs of the Honor X60 Pro including display, battery, charging, and chip details. The leak also reveals the overall dimensions of the smartphone. It’s slightly thin and weighs less than the X50 Pro handset.

Compared to the standard model, the X60 Pro will sport a curved display of 6.78-inch. It will exhibit a resolution of 2700 x 1224 with impressive visual effects. The smartphone will measure 162.8 x 75.5 x 7.98mm and weighs 188 grams.

The device will likely equip the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor. Its classic version will feature the Dimensity chipset with effective performance and efficiency.

Honor X60 Pro will pack a huge flagship-level 6600mAh battery and 66W fast charging. The battery life is of two days. Thus, users don’t have to stress about the device’s durability or concern about charging it daily to enjoy videos or music.

Other than these specifications, the 12GB + 512GB storage variant of the Honor X60 Pro will likely support the Beidou satellite SMS feature. Users can stay in touch with their contacts even when their device is out of the cellular network.

The camera details are absent for the time being. But judging from the battery teaser, it seems Honor will adopt an upgraded lens setup with new imaging capabilities for the X60 series smartphones.

Honor X60 series is launching on October 16. Alongside, the company will unveil new tablets and some more interesting products. Get ready to witness a glorious evening next week.

The company and its senior executives have begun teasing the Honor X60 series on Weibo. In the latest edition, a teaser of a 6600mAh battery has surfaced saying:

“Good mobile phone with good battery life and more durable! #HonorX60Series# is equipped with an Honor Qinghai Lake battery for the first time. Whether it is strong or not, you have the final say!”

Looking into the teaser image, the Honor X60 series reflects a 6600mAh large battery. The lithium cell claims to offer the best battery life and gives a big relief to users from constant charging. It can keep the device alive for 2 days straight.

While many smartphones pack 6000mAh and above batteries, the X60 series cell capacity directly turned to 6600mAh which shows battery life at a new peak!

Now here comes an important point! An early hands-on image claimed that the Honor X60 possesses a 5800mAh battery. It means the 6600mAh cell is for the Pro model.

Qinghai Lake battery tech is Honor’s first silicon-carbon negative electrode cell technology. It is familiar for increasing the cell capacity and enhancing its longevity.

The Qinghai Lake battery solution is further linked with low-voltage charge polymerization to increase the battery power in the device. And let’s not forget the E1 chip that helps with precise energy efficiency as well as power management.

It would be worth seeing what more flagship-level specifications the Honor X60 series will bring to the consumer platform.
