Honor has released a new MagicOS version for the Honor Magic6 series, version number 9.0.0.175. This includes new AI-powered photo editing tools, some improvements to the UI and the Phantom Engine for gaming. The initial MagicOS 9 update came months ago, this one is a feature-focused update.
The Phantom Engine was introduced with the Honor GT models. It predicts heavy frames – ones that will take more time to render – and allocates more resources to rendering them. This helps reduce stutter, but it may increase power consumption and heat.
The Phantom Engine comes to the Honor Magic6 series
The Phantom Engine has support for Genshin Impact, Honor of Kings, Honkai: Star Rail, Zenless Zone Zero and others.
The change log for version 175 also includes other features. AI helps remove reflections and wrinkles in photos. You can set alarms for a specific time and date in a floating window. Screen recording and screenshots have been optimized. There is additional customization for the lockscreen too. You can block calls from regional numbers, which can help avoid spam calls.
