Phones will learn our behavior

Honor has revealed that their new operating system, MagicOS 14.8, will feature a purpose-based user interface, with details about this functionality also being announced.

This innovative feature enables the phone to learn the user’s behavior over time and make tailored recommendations. For instance, if you frequently respond to WhatsApp messages first on your phone, the system will eventually suggest opening WhatsApp as a priority.

A standout feature introduced is the so-called “Magic Portal.” Utilizing Honor’s extensive large language model and the new interface, Magic Portal can provide content-specific recommendations.

In a demonstration by the company, a scenario was showcased where users can easily navigate to a meeting location on maps by dragging and dropping reservation details from a messaging application.

The Magic Portal app is designed to understand various inputs such as text and images and can even track eye movements and facial expressions on different Honor devices. Honor has announced that this feature will be supported in the 100 most popular apps in China, though it’s unclear if it will be available in other countries.

Additionally, MagicOS 14.8 introduces new customizable displays, enhanced interface acceleration, and a more efficient operating system overall. A unique feature of the new version is the ability to dismiss ads by simply shaking the phone.
