There’s a new contender that can match Samsung and Google when it comes to Android updates, as HONOR announced that it will be providing 7 years of Android and security for its Magic series starting with the Magic7 Pro.
“We are thrilled to learn about the HONOR ALPHA PLAN which will start with the HONOR Magic7 Pro. By extending software and security support to an unprecedented seven years, we empower our users to enjoy a safe, reliable, and innovative smartphone experience for much longer, all while supporting sustainability by reducing e-waste,” HONOR Vice President Stephen Cheng said.
Having a longer update commitment adds better value to the HONOR Magic7 Pro and is in line with Qualcomm’s promise of providing as much as 8 years of Android updates with any device that uses a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor.
HONOR’s Alpha Plan is a bold three-step corporate strategy that aims to elevate HONOR from a smartphone manufacturer to a global leader in AI-powered ecosystems. It encourages collaboration within the tech industry to co-create value-driven solutions and improve device longevity while benefiting all mankind. Having extended support for the Magic series offer the following benefits:
-
Maximized Investment: Consumers can stretch their budget further with flagship devices that remain secure and up to date for seven years, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.
-
Cutting-Edge Technology: Users gain access to the latest AI innovations, enabling them to stay ahead in productivity, gaming, photography, and more.
-
Eco-Friendly Commitment: By extending the lifespan of devices, HONOR contributes to reducing electronic waste, aligning with sustainability goals.
Aside from the MWC 2025 announcement, HONOR confirmed that the Magic7 Pro will arrive in the Philippines soon.
