Currently, the mobile terminal ecosystem is accelerating towards full-scenario collaboration. However, developers generally face real-world challenges such as cross-brand interconnectivity barriers, redundant multi-device adaptations, and difficulties in reusing system-level capabilities, making it hard to efficiently meet user expectations for smarter, smoother, and more stable interaction experiences.
On September 15, the 2026 Honor Global Developer Conference was held in Shenzhen. At the forum on Interconnectivity, Smoothness & Intelligent Interaction Experience, Honor showcased the latest progress of MagicOS 11 in three areas: smart interconnectivity, intelligent interaction, and smooth experience, based on an open interconnectivity ecosystem, working with developers to create a smarter, smoother, and more stable full-scenario interaction experience.
Honor Cross-Brand Interconnectivity: Transfer with a Single Tap
The first cost lies in the "endpoint." In the past, developers had to adapt separately for smartphones, tablets, PCs, car systems, and IoT devices, making redundant investments inevitable. Honor Smart Interconnectivity, based on the Weave Architecture collaboration framework, continuously breaks down boundaries between brands, systems, and devices, enabling seamless flow of content, hardware capabilities, and application tasks across multiple endpoints. Through four open capabilities—Honor OneTap, Device Center, Service Sharing, and Task Handover—as well as a minute-level Skill integration mode, it brings lower integration costs and richer application scenarios for developers.
From self-discovery and self-networking in 2024, to cross-brand file transfer in 2025, and cross-brand OneTap in 2026, Honor Interconnectivity now covers multiple ecosystems including Android, iOS, Windows, HarmonyOS, and Car OS. Honor OneTap covers over 50 million devices and connects with 60+ ecosystem partners. In terms of open capabilities, OneTap Kit supports one-tap sharing in multiple scenarios, DeviceCenter Kit provides multi-entry exposure, ServiceSharing Kit shares cross-device software and hardware services, and Handover Kit enables seamless task continuation, helping developers achieve low-cost integration and multi-device reuse.
Three Major Interaction Entry Points Leading New Intelligent Interaction Experiences
Building on multi-device interconnectivity, Honor further transforms system capabilities into intuitive interaction entry points. Intelligent human-computer interaction is advancing toward the fourth generation, characterized by "proactively understanding and serving users." Through three major entry points—Magic Capsule, Honor AnyDoor, and AI GripSense—it delivers a natural interaction experience with global reach, one-step access, and grip-following functionality. It also offers standardized, low-cost integration capabilities to help developers quickly connect with user needs.
As a global service access entry point, Magic Capsule has covered 200 million devices worldwide, serving over 50 billion times monthly, with its service ecosystem upgraded to 20 major scenarios and 150+ services. Honor AnyDoor reduces cross-app tasks from 8 steps and 20 seconds to just 1 step and 1 second, reaching over 100 million users with more than 300 integrated services. AI GripSense intelligently recognizes single-hand grip states, popping up capsules in the comfort zone for audio and video calls, solving the problem of being unable to "reach or tap" with one hand.
Three Major Kits Opened: System-Level Collaboration for Sustained Smoothness
The value of interaction entry points ultimately depends on delivering a stable and smooth experience. Guided by user experience, Honor opens system-level capabilities to developers through Scheduling Kit, LINK Turbo Kit, and SharedView Kit. In memory management, Honor has built a collaborative governance system for the entire memory lifecycle, increasing available memory by approximately 500MB on typical 8GB smartphones and reducing app launch times by over 10%. OS Turbo X reduces the loading time for a 3.3GB model from 4.4 seconds to 1.7 seconds.
In terms of network scheduling and animations, LINK Turbo X integrates network perception, decision-making, and execution, increasing collaborative download speeds by over 100% under restricted public Wi-Fi and reducing game latency by more than 20% in weak Wi-Fi environments. SharedView Kit extends system-level continuous animations into applications, allowing a single integration to adapt to bar phones, foldables, and tablets, significantly reducing redundant development costs across multiple manufacturers.
Collaborating with Leading Partners to Build a Prosperous Ecosystem with System-Level Capabilities
The implementation of system-level capabilities relies on co-creation with ecosystem partners. Based on system-level AI perception, global service reach, cross-device intuitive interaction, and software-hardware collaborative optimization, MagicOS collaborates with leading partners such as Amap, Insta360, Meituan, Kuaishou, and Douyin to open system capabilities as standardized Kits and Skills, making application services more attuned to users, always accessible, stable, and efficient.
Leading app developers and manufacturer representatives also shared their co-creation experiences with Honor. Amap reported that after integrating navigation status into Honor's service entry points, daily active users in driving scenarios exceeded 1 million. Insta360 demonstrated efficiency changes from "capture to transfer": panoramic images can be transferred to phones with a single tap, allowing creators to obtain materials instantly. Meituan shared achievements in building the OS ecosystem with Honor: the food delivery capsule has over 1.4 million daily active users and 700,000+ daily clicks, with OneTap reducing typical sharing processes from 9 steps to just 1. Kuaishou integrated AI GripSense, achieving over 98% accuracy in grip state recognition. Douyin collaborated with Honor on memory management, reducing peak memory usage by 300MB and improving application smoothness and stability. Honor will continue to open system-level capabilities to developers, allowing partners to focus more on business innovation and jointly deliver better, more stable, and practical experiences.
