Today, Honor held a MagicOS 11 Pioneer Preview Event and officially opened MagicOS 11 beta recruitment.

Honor's head of product maintenance and upgrades, “Honor Xiaofang Ge,” stated that compared to the same period last year, the MagicOS 11 beta not only started a month earlier, but also covers more device models.

As a comparison, MagicOS 10 opened beta recruitment with the first batch covering 6 devices: Honor Magic V5, Honor Magic7, Honor Magic7 Pro, Honor Magic7 RSR Porsche Design, Honor GT Pro, and Honor MagicPad3 tablet.

In terms of recruitment quotas, each series plans to recruit 2,000 people, with 500 for the log version and 1,500 for the nolog version. The final quotas will be appropriately adjusted based on actual registration numbers.

As Honor's next-generation operating system, MagicOS 11 debuts the Honor Liuguang Architecture, which reconstructs the Android underlying layer, delivering dynamic liquid glass effects. Through rendering and algorithm optimization, power consumption under complex visual effects remains nearly zero-growth.

MagicOS 11 also features the new Honor Hummingbird Architecture, introducing a human-factors smoothness system that achieves seamless end-to-end animations from system apps to third-party apps, further enhancing the smooth experience across the full series and all models.
