Honor focuses on AI with MagicOS 9.0 based on Android 15. The new OS brings upgrades that position the company’s voice assistant as a LAM.
Like other companies such as Google, Honor has made the decision to reposition its virtual voice assistant as an AI helper. Just as Google Assistant is slowly receding in favor of Gemini, Honor is changing the way its voice assistant “Yoyo” used in China works.
In an announcement detailing MagicOS 9.0, Honor said its virtual assistant has been fully upgraded. You can now run commands, theoretically allowing you to order coffee for users or perform other tasks.
Based on learning your behavioral habits and usage scenarios, YOYO accurately understands your needs, breaks down task steps, and independently manipulates and retrieves various resources and third-party services on your phone. and meet the needs of users.
This change is similar to how other companies like Motorola are incorporating AI, but this seems like a real-world release. The new type of AI model is called “LAM,” which stands for “Large Action Model.” This term was coined by Rabbit upon the debut of the R1 device. Rather than spitting out words and phrases back at you, AI models can act on your commands.
At the Snapdragon Summit, where Honor also showed off the Magic 7 Pro for the first time, the company provided more details about the “Autopilot” part of its new AI feature.

ecosystem. From a simple text or voice prompt, an AI agent can order takeout on your behalf. With consent, it can learn from your habits and make smarter decisions. For example, you can understand whether a user prefers coffee with coconut milk and order accordingly.
It would be great if these worked as described, but it remains to be seen how all of this will work with third-party Android apps, especially outside of China.
Additionally, the MagicOS 9.0 upgrade also upgrades Magic Portal and Magic Capsule for the company’s devices. This feature allows users to not only understand images, but also easily circle and access text. This is another way Honor is incorporating AI into its latest software. This expands MAGic Portal with 255% more service integration compared to MagicOS 8.0.
MagicOS 9.0 also focuses on deepfake prevention with new detection features. This feature will help detect fraud as AI-powered malicious actors become more powerful.
MagicOS 9.0 launches today in China and will be expanded worldwide in the coming months.
