HONOR is extending software support for its flagship HONOR Magic series, committing to seven years of Android OS and security updates for its premium devices. Announced as part of the HONOR ALPHA PLAN, this move solidifies HONOR’s focus on long-term user satisfaction and positions it among the select few brands offering extended update policies in the industry.
The new policy applies to HONOR Magic7 Pro users in EU markets, with plans to expand the support commitment to more flagship models, including both traditional smartphones and foldables.
A Consumer-First Commitment
James Li, CEO of HONOR, emphasized that the company’s future hinges on delivering a seamless, long-lasting user experience.
“…We aim to provide devices and services that meet consumer needs and beyond their expectation now and in the future. Therefore, HONOR has decided to offer seven years of Android OS and security updates to the HONOR Magic series.”
With this initiative, HONOR joins an elite group of smartphone manufacturers that offer long-term update policies, setting a new benchmark for device longevity and security.
Longevity, Security, and AI Innovation
Beyond security patches, HONOR’s extended update policy ensures continued AI-driven enhancements, allowing users to benefit from evolving smart features throughout their device’s lifespan. This extended cycle aligns with sustainability goals by reducing e-waste and encouraging responsible tech consumption.
The HONOR ALPHA PLAN: Beyond Smartphones
HONOR’s long-term strategy aims to evolve the brand beyond smartphone manufacturing into a global AI device ecosystem leader. By fostering industry-wide collaboration, HONOR seeks to build an open, value-sharing ecosystem that maximizes human potential.
As the HONOR Magic7 Pro leads the way, more HONOR Magic devices are expected to receive extended software support, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to security, innovation, and long-term reliability.
