The HONOR firm has launched its latest bet in the field of operating systems for smartphones: MagicOS 9.0. This system integrates a set of technologies that seek to offer an advanced user experience, based on artificial intelligence. This operating system allows smooth operation and more personalized use, thanks to your new AI agent, YOYO, and a suite of tools optimized to understand and respond to user needs in multiple contexts.
MagicOS 9.0 serving users
One of the new features introduced by MagicOS 9.0 is the MagicLM family, a technology that uses large language models or LLMs to improve the interaction capacity of the system at different levels: visual, linguistic and audio. This allows HONOR devices to offer a multimodal experience, where the system accurately recognizes user intentions and provides help services for complex tasks.
MagicLM adjusts device and cloud resources based on each situation, striking a balance between energy efficiency and performance. This results in optimization that promotes rapid and accurate response. For example, the AI model of three billion parameters on the device reduced its power consumption by 80% and improved its charging speed by 77%, which represents a notable advancement over previous technology.
YOYO, the new AI agent
One of the most notable updates in MagicOS 9.0 is YOYO, the AI agent that takes over from the previous smart assistant. This agent was designed to operate with the user at different levels, either understand natural language or perform tasks independently. Among its capabilities, YOYO can access applications, recognize behavioral patterns and precisely adapt to user needs.
Thanks to its continuous learning, YOYO can perform tasks ranging from ordering a coffee to proactively managing notifications or permissions. In terms of functionality, this agent is capable of memorizing up to 950 usage habits, which allows it to offer recommendations and simplify recurring tasks, with the aim of making the user’s daily life easier.
An open AI ecosystem
Contrary to the trend of closed ecosystems, the firm has opted for an open AI model with MagicOS 9.0, allowing Third-party applications can interact with YOYO and take advantage of its capabilities. This approach fosters an ecosystem in which developers can offer applications and services that integrate with the user experience, thereby enriching the utility and functionality of the system.
Additionally, HONOR has incorporated improvements to tools such as Magic Portal and Magic Capsule, which enable more intuitive interactions. With these features, users can directly access services, such as transport reservations or application management, simply surrounding the object on the screen. This ease of use stands out at a time when users are looking for speed and efficiency in the functions of their devices.
Connectivity and security
The MagicOS 9.0 operating system not only focuses on improving the AI experience, but has also placed emphasis on areas such as security and connectivity. Given the risks associated with technologies such as deepfake, HONOR has integrated a deepfake detection function which uses AI to protect users from potential fraud. At the connectivity level, the MagicRing feature enables seamless communication between devices and optimizes collaboration in heterogeneous network environments, facilitating resource management and multi-device interaction.
Productivity and creativity
Designed for both productivity and creativity, MagicOS 9.0 introduces new features that adapt to different types of users. On the one hand, professionals can benefit from tools like AI Meetings, which generates automatic meeting summaries, or AI Docs, that make it easy to edit and translate documents. On the other hand, users with creative interests can take advantage of the new AI Gallery, which includes functions such as AI Eraser or image expansion, designed to enhance and personalize visual content in a simple and effective way.
