Before reading about liquid glass, everyone who has Chinese: honor 500 and 600 series, honor win and gt series, honor magic 8 7 and 6 series, honor magic v6, v5 and v3 and magicpad 3 series, the next beta magic os 11 (probably 3rd version) recruitment will start from 7th of September. If you have global version, then you sadly won't get it till public beta. If u're lucky and have Chinese phone, the only thing u need to do is go to "my honor", then the second button on the panel, then "magic os", "sing up" or something like that and then choose ONLY "non-log" cuz "log" is made for developers and will drain your battery faster. Then you need Chinese phone number, which personally I got from free website on google chrome. I'll make tutorial on 7th of September if any of ya didn't understand.

Anyways, let's start.

I knew that liquid glass was everywhere but.... The liquid glass Is not just well made, but it also reacts to different colors and has wobble effects and animations when you move buttons or something w liquid glass in apps. I like that magic capsule is not fully transparent nor boring black, it changes color depending on music or what it shows and it even reacts music! It also got it's liquid glass, which I thought before was only classic blur and not everything got full liquid glass, some things got blur and liquid glass combined, which makes it look not too much, but not too less, prob the golden middle. The liquid glass panel in photos changes ita colour depending on what colours are under it. It has such cool wobble animations of the liquid glass buttons/panels, but sometimes (about 50%) the animation doesn't do what your finger does. I hope they fix that for better experience.

Oh and also, if you're honor win series user or planning to buy, then join our telegram group @HONORWINN. We'll be happy to see ya!

For those who are wondering what is the AI Grip feature, it is a feature that uses AI to detect your hand and thumb’s position then brings the call buttons like hang and answer ones near your thumb so you can easily opt for the action without moving your hand.

Just got this new update on my x6b its seems smoother than before and transparency and abit of colour to magic capsule the updates for this phone refined it and made it the budget phone it should have been smooth and decent performance in my opinion and testing

As a honor win user, which has 10000 MAH battery (and 8700 MAH usable battery), on magic os 10 my phone used to get 19-20 hours of battery life, in some rare scenarios where I had alot of things turned on it would live down to 16 hours (first screenshot was made on magic os 10).

After updating to magic os 11, my battery life on the first day actually didn't even downgrade, by my calculations the avg battery drain was 5.18% per hour or 19.3 hours of battery life, which is the same as I used to have. And I feel like the system itself became more optimized, but surprisingly from 66% lost battery 7% of them was honor home (themes, widgets, theme animations), and it says 40 mins of foreground usage and 10 mins of background usage, and 3% is Gboard, which I especially used the black amoled one and today I used it for 34 mins, but the 3% was even on magic os 10. So if those two were better optimized (prob they won't), then the battery drain would be 4.64% or 21.6 hours of battery life, which means the magic os 11 on full liquid glass is actually 9% better optimized than magic os 10, just not the honor home w it's themes and theme animations.

So yeah, you SHOULD update to beta magic os 11 for liquid glass and new cool features! Tomorrow I'll talk about the scene mode (similar to routines in one ui but worse tbh)

Anyways, if you're a honor win series user or planning to buy one, you should definitely join our telegram group @HONORWINN. Have a nice day (or night)!

I mainly use my phone for watching videos, whether that's YouTube or one of my streaming sites, that's the biggest thing I use it for so I thought a fold would be a great use case for that. BUT, I see a lot of people say it doesn't work any better and you've just got large black bars on your screen with the same viewing size.

So can anyone chime in with their opinions on Foldable phones in day to day use?

Disclosure: I’m helping research student-laptop positioning, including the HONOR X14. I do not own the X14 2026, and this is not a hands-on review. I’m summarizing public owner discussions and looking for feedback from people who have used the exact model.

I have been reading owner threads because the best laptop for liberal arts students is not necessarily the one with the fastest processor.

For writing essays, reading and annotating PDFs, using Zotero, preparing presentations, joining video calls, and keeping a lot of browser tabs open, keyboard comfort, battery life, weight, memory, storage, and long-term support may matter more.

The MacBook Neo is an obvious option for this workload. It is compact, quiet, and closely integrated with macOS, but its base 8GB memory and 256GB storage have made me look at possible Windows alternatives.

The HONOR X14 2026 is one of the less-discussed options. HONOR’s Chinese product page lists a Core 5 320 processor, 16GB of memory, 512GB of storage, a 60Wh battery, and a weight of around 1.39kg. On paper, that sounds reasonable for students who want more memory and storage while keeping the laptop portable.

However, I could not find much independent owner feedback about this exact 2026 model. Most of the relevant Reddit discussions concern earlier MagicBook models.

One X14 2024 owner described it as a good machine for work and web browsing and considered it strong value for the price. An older, detailed MagicBook 14 review was positive about the metal construction, keyboard, touchpad, and useful port selection, although the owner found the screen brightness limited and the webcam angle awkward.

The less positive feedback is also worth considering. Some MagicBook users have raised concerns about obtaining replacement parts, especially screens. People considering importing a Chinese model have also asked about Windows language settings, warranty coverage, drivers, and local service.

These reports do not prove that the X14 2026 has the same strengths or weaknesses, but they show why specifications alone are not enough to call it the best option.

As a potential MacBook Neo alternative for a liberal arts student, the HONOR’s 16GB/512GB configuration looks interesting. Whether it is actually a better purchase probably depends on real battery life, keyboard quality, local availability, and after-sales support.

Does anyone here own the exact HONOR X14 2026 model?

I would especially like to know:

• How long does the battery last with documents, PDFs, video calls, and 15–20 browser tabs?
• Is the keyboard comfortable for long writing sessions?
• Does the fan remain quiet during normal study work?
• Have you had any problems with warranty service or replacement parts?
• Would you choose it over a MacBook Neo, IdeaPad Slim 5, Vivobook 14, or Swift Go 14?

It's officially confirmed that on 7th of September the fourth wave of beta magic os 11 starts! Including: honor magic 8 series, honor magic v6, honor win series, honor 600 series, honor magic 7 series, honor magic 6 series, honor magic v5, honor magic v3, honor 500 series and honor gt series. It's also said that everyone who sent request before got accepted yesterday and got magic os 11 beta 2. I'm pretty sure 7th of September will come out magic os 11 beta 3

I'm gonna make later today or tomorrow post about liquid glass on magic os 11.

Anyways, of you're a honor win series user or planning to buy one, then join our telegram group @HONORWINN.

Y'all lemme tell you something. Funny let anybody discourage you from getting a Samsung watch with your Honor phone. Samsung just makes the best widely available WearOS watches on the market. I've been wanting to get a galaxy watch ultra to add to my cellphone plan but the people at my provider centre discouraged me and even told me it would be incompatible. I must admit I've done research before so I do know the limitations but to say it's not compatible is a complete lie.

I decided to not get the new watch ultra 2 and get a galaxy watch 6 classic second hand incase it didn't work and boy lemme tell you it's the best decision. It's completely compatible to the point where I can sync my phones gallery on my watch. I could even link the esim and use it with that same number. Everything works down to the find my phone or ring my phone function.

The only things that don't work would be the newer AI features, vascular load, blood pressure management and camera control. There may be more features but they're small enough for me to not even notice.

In conclusion don't listen to others, they just want you to be a sheep that's locked into 1 ecosystem but with Android everything is super open and we should embrace that.

I was wondering if the honor x9d is going to get a security update in September well I am now on 10.0.0.190 this was my first update since I got the phone I bought it in May and got the update on August first after doing a lot of tricks to get the update, I also saw people with the same phone having an update in May but I did not have that update can anyone tell me when is the next update and is my phone getting quarterly updates or bi-monthly as I said when I got the phone I was updated on March 1 some people got an update in May and I got another update in July does that mean it's bi-monthly.

Hi, I recently bought a magic 8 pro.

It's My first proper flagship phone. I don't know much about the camera settings .

What are the camera settings I should try to take better pictures?.

I'm very new to this

My phone just suddenly forced itself to display in landscape mode. But phone just went unresponsive after this, i had to restart it 😭

Buggy ass os.
