Honor Magic series gets seven years of updates

Hot on the heels of Qualcomm announcing it will extend software support for its latest Snapdragon 8 and 7 series chipsets to eight years, Honor today has unveiled a support window expansion of its own.

Starting now, all Honor Magic devices will get seven years of major Android updates and security updates. We’re not sure this means seven major Android updates per device, as Honor’s wording simply says “seven years of major Android OS updates”, but no matter how you slice and dice it, you are at least getting six major updates, which is very good.

Honor boasts that this new commitment positions it “among the top three global brands worldwide to offer such extensive support”. The announcement comes part of Honor’s “Alpha Plan”, a new strategic vision which “focuses on human-centric AI designed to enrich lives”.

With the long support window, Magic series users will “enjoy access to cutting-edge AI features and innovative functionalities for years to come”, “well beyond the industry norm of 3-5 years”.

Unsurprisingly, Honor is also making this into a sustainability play – the extended support window should reduce e-waste as people will be incentivized to keep devices for longer. Honor says it’s “adopting a global leadership position in device lifecycle management, aligning with the EU’s Circular Economy and Ecodesign Regulation”.
