Honor MagicOS 9.0 is based on Android 15 and comes packed with some seriously cool AI features that might just make you rethink your next phone upgrade. Let’s break it all down and see if Honor’s latest offering can stand toe-to-toe with the likes of Samsung’s Galaxy AI.
AI Deep Fake Detection
Let’s kick things off with one of the most intriguing features—AI Deep Fake Detection. If you’re not familiar with deepfakes, they’re essentially manipulated videos or images where someone’s appearance is altered using the software. Think of it as someone using a digital mask to scam or deceive you during a video call. Scary, right?
Well, Honor is stepping up to the plate with a solution. MagicOS 9.0 can detect deepfakes in real-time during video calls. If someone’s trying to pull a fast one on you, the phone will issue a warning right on your screen. And here’s the best part—this feature runs locally on your device. That means none of your personal data is sent to the cloud, so your privacy stays intact. It’s a small but mighty feature that could save you from some serious headaches.
Magic Portal 2.0
Next up, we’ve got Magic Portal 2.0. If you’ve used Magic Portal 1.0, you’ll know it’s all about making your life easier by streamlining tasks. But the 2.0 version takes things to a whole new level.
Imagine this: you’re browsing your phone, and you see something you want to buy or share. With Magic Portal 2.0, you can simply use your knuckle to circle the item on your screen, and boom—you’re taken directly to the purchase page on platforms like Taobao (and soon Shopee and Lazada). You can also circle an image to share it instantly on social media or with friends.
But my personal favorite? Circling text and dragging it directly to your navigation app. Let’s say you’re chatting with a friend, and they send you an address. Instead of copying and pasting, you can just circle the text, drag it to your maps, and you’re good to go. It’s seamless, intuitive, and just plain cool.
AI Super Zoom in MagicOS 9.0
Now, let’s talk about something every smartphone photographer will love—AI Super Zoom. We’ve all been there: you’re trying to zoom in on something far away, and once you go beyond 30x or 40x, the image turns into a pixelated mess. Not with MagicOS 9.0.
Honor’s AI Super Zoom uses some serious AI magic to enhance those ultra-zoomed shots. Even at 100x zoom, your photos will look crisp and clear. It’s like having a digital telescope in your pocket.
AI Transcribe and AI Minutes
If you’re someone who takes a lot of notes during meetings or lectures, you’re going to love AI Transcribe. This feature can detect speech and transcribe it into text in real-time. But it doesn’t stop there—it can also translate the text into up to 11 different languages, including Malay.
Once the transcription is done, you can use AI Minutes to organize the notes into different formats. You can even see which points were made by each speaker. And if you’re in a rush, just hit AI Summary, and you’ll get a quick rundown of the key points. It’s like having a personal assistant who never misses a word.
AI Translator
Traveling abroad or attending a conference in a foreign language? No problem. Honor’s AI Translator has got you covered. There are two modes here: one-way and two-way conversations.
In one-way mode, imagine you’re in a lecture hall or at a conference where the speaker is talking in a language you don’t understand. Just open the AI Translator, and it will provide real-time interpretation so you can follow along without missing a beat.
In two-way mode, it’s perfect for those moments when you’re traveling and need to ask for directions or order food in a language you don’t speak. The AI Translator acts as your personal interpreter, breaking down language barriers and making communication a breeze.
Google Gemini in MagicOS 9.0
Of course, we can’t forget about Google Gemini, which is also integrated into MagicOS 9.0. Think of it as your go-to assistant for pretty much anything. Need help planning a trip? Ask Gemini to create an itinerary. Stuck on what to write for an Instagram caption? Gemini’s got your back. You can even ask it to draw images or answer random questions. It’s like having a mini Google in your pocket.
Magic Avatar
Now, for something a little more fun—Magic Avatar. This feature lets you create your own personalized avatar that you can use as emojis or even as your lock screen. The avatar is animated and reacts to different situations, adding a touch of personality to your phone. It’s a small but fun addition that lets you express yourself in a whole new way.
Customization MagicOS 9.0
MagicOS 9.0 also offers many customization options. You can tweak your home screen, change the look of your icons, and even customize your lock screen. The new UI is sleek and modern, designed to make your phone feel truly yours.
Final Thoughts
So, is Honor’s MagicOS 9.0 the most advanced AI-powered phone yet? It’s definitely up there. With features like AI Deep Fake Detection, Magic Portal 2.0, AI Super Zoom, and a host of other AI-driven tools, Honor is pushing the boundaries of what a smartphone can do.
If you already use an Honor device, you’re in for a treat when MagicOS 9.0 rolls out. And if you’re not, well, it might be time to consider making the switch. With the upcoming launch of the Honor Magic 7 Pro Series, things will only get more exciting.
