Honor has begun rolling out a new MagicOS update for its Magic 8 series smartphones in China. Labeled MagicOS 10.0.0.122, the update brings a mix of AI-driven features, usability improvements, and system optimizations. Among all, the feature that stands out is the new eye-tracking page turning.

As the name implies, the feature is designed to make reading on the phone more hands-free. Once enabled, the system can automatically turn pages as it detects the user’s eye movement, reducing the need for touch input. 

It is a more immersive way of reading on your phone, particularly when reading sessions are long or in situations where using your hands is inconvenient. The feature can be accessed through Settings > Honor AI & YOYO > Eye Tracking > Eye-tracking Page Turning.

Rest of the update

The update also brings meaningful improvements to screen recording. Honor has added a Clean Screen Recording mode that allows users to record their screens without capturing banner notifications, status bars, or animated icons. 

In addition, the Magic 8 series now supports simultaneous call and screen recording, allowing users to start or continue screen recording during calls. And if you’re wondering, Honor made it clear that call audio and content are excluded from recordings.

Honor has also refreshed its Tips and Tricks app for the Magic 8 series. It now has a redesigned interface with expanded content to help users better understand device features and usage techniques.

On the system side, the Communication Control Center now includes motion rebound animations when expanding or collapsing WLAN, Bluetooth, and media cards, adding subtle visual polish. Battery life has also been optimized for certain scenarios, while scrolling performance has been improved in applications such as the home screen and China’s 12306 railway ticketing app.

Finally, the update addresses overall system smoothness and stability, fixing lag in specific situations and reducing third-party app crashes and unresponsiveness. 

The update is 790MB in size.
