HONOR Confirms 7 Years of Software Updates for Magic Smartphones

HONOR has reaffirmed its commitment to providing software updates for its smartphone range. Users who choose a Magic smartphone can count on long-term software support. The company's goal is clear: HONOR's flagship devices will receive software support comparable to that of Samsung and Google flagship models, and in many cases, even surpass the support offered by various Chinese brands.

7 Years of Updates

With an HONOR Magic smartphone, including the upcoming foldable Magic V6 set to hit the European market soon, users will benefit from 7 years of updates, which translates to 7 major updates (from Android 16 to Android 23, for instance) and 7 years of security patches (though the frequency of these updates is yet to be clarified).

This announcement is not new for HONOR's European range, but the company has chosen to reaffirm its update policy, which will become a benchmark for the Magic series in the coming years.

Lower-tier models will receive more limited support. For example, the new HONOR 600 will have 6 years of updates. Even more budget-friendly models will receive fewer updates.

In recent years, HONOR has been performing very well and has recorded very positive sales figures. The company aims to strengthen its support policies to attract an ever-increasing number of users and increase its market share.
