Making its first appearance on the HONOR Magic8 Pro is Magic Color, the industry’s first AI-powered colour engine that taps on advanced deep learning algorithms to intelligently extract 16.77 million colours.
Through device-cloud collaborative colour migration technology, it is able to efficiently colour track and process for both global tonality and local fine-tuning, ensuring that you get high-quality output and smooth real-time preview.
Using Magic Color, you will be able to recreate cinematic styles, apply professional film tones, or even build personalised templates from any reference image and use it directly within the camera app or via Magic Portal.
Aside from the improvements in photography, you can also tap on the use of the AI Photos Agent through one-tap or voice-based operations, to use a variety of photo-editing features such as AI Eraser, AI Outpainting, AI Color, and AI Cutout, which allows for precise background removal, portrait refinement, artistic restyling, and complex image manipulation.
There’s even a new AI Button, a dedicated key independent from the power button, that is mapped by default to launch the Camera app instantly even from the Lock Screen. You can also customise its gestures to access HONOR AI, AI Settings Agent, AI Photos Agent, and other features you prefer.
AI Intelligence
Combining the power of Google Gemini for cloud-based reasoning with HONOR AI for on-device perception and execution, the HONOR Magic8 Pro helps to deliver a balanced mix of creativity, reasoning, and contextual task handling to make every interaction more intuitive and efficient.
Running on your device with MagicOS 10, HONOR AI complements the function of Google Gemini, and intelligently understands on-screen content, interpret natural commands, and act directly across system settings and applications.
AI Screen Suggestions, for example, intelligently adapts to the current scenario and helps to activate features like AI Photos Agent, Summary, and AI Deepfake Detection. AI Settings Agent, on the other hand, helps to process user commands, whether typed or spoken, to understand semantic intent and provide responses in both text and voice.
On the communication front, HONOR AI has several measures in place such as the AI Deepfake Detection and AI Voice Cloning Detection, which provides immediate safeguards against face-swap and voice-clone fraud during calls and video chats to help ensure you stay safe and secure in every conversation.
MagicOS 10
The MagicOS 10 offers a light, translucent visual style that feels readable across the Lock Screen, Home Screen, Control Centre, Notification Centre, Contacts, Notes, and other apps, in addition to sound and haptics, for a more natural, tactile feel.
It also enhances cross-platform collaboration with the upgraded HONOR Share, which enables bidirectional file transfers between Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows devices.
Upgrading from an iPhone to an Android has also been made easy as the HONOR Magic8 Pro offers the most comprehensive device cloning capability among similar devices, to support seamless migration from iPhones, while ensuring all data stays secured under HONOR’s Lifecycle Data Protection framework for privacy across devices.
