Honor Previews MagicOS 11 With 3 Visual Upgrades, Bringing Android’s First Liquid Glass UI

3 articles · Updated · HC Newsroom · Jun 17

Summary

  • MagicOS 11 will combine three visual elements at once—dynamic wallpapers, liquid glass and HDR effects—according to new details shared on Weibo and by tipster DigitalChatStation.
  • Honor says the update will add translucent panels, depth effects and softer glass-style widgets, with full-screen glass visuals extending across the home and lock screens.
  • The redesign also targets smoother motion: improved bottom tabs, media widgets, Smart Magic capsules, call screens and new lighting and transition effects are planned.
  • Honor is positioning the release as a broader interface overhaul rather than a simple reskin, following similar liquid-glass designs already introduced by iOS and HarmonyOS.
