The company has once again teased the Honor Magic 7 series, but this time with a new characteristic: AI natural light defocus eye protection screen. It’s a new solution that ensures the visuals remain clear at all times without stressing the eyes.

AI defocus eye protection technology debuted at the MWC 2024 event. It uses a defocused smart display panel which remains conducive to eye health.

From the name, the latest display solution runs on AI algorithms. It boosts and stimulates light using six factors: fluctuation, brightness, rhythm, color, stroboscopic, and spectrum. Thus, it unlocks a circularly polarized light PWM dimming

Honor has shared the new teaser regarding the AI defocus eye protection tech for the Magic 7 series. The teaser shows a giant display panel and the caption reads:

“The more AI, the better it understands you!
From morning to night, from dark to light, all-round eye protection. The #HonorMagic7# series is the first to be equipped with the industry’s only global all-weather AI natural light oasis eye protection screen. Eight major technologies define new standards for eye protection. On October 30, we will reveal the secrets for you!”

Weibo tipster @RuiPlaysDigital shared the screenshot of the HarmonyOS NEXT.0.0.71 update, saying that it is a public beta version. If true, it’s quite strange as the OEM scheduled the HarmonyOS NEXT public beta program for tomorrow (October 8).

The tipster didn’t mention any other details on this matter. It only said that the “0.0.71 is the public test version”. A netizen asked if the WeChat app will be available with the HarmonyOS NEXT public beta. But the tipster denied this matter.

It is unclear how far the current leak is accurate. Huawei has set the public beta program for October 8. This simply means that the company will begin things with registration and thereby, releasing the new HarmonyOS NEXT public beta build.

Another perspective is, Huawei has currently pushed this version to closed beta users. After October 8, the company may open the same build for public testing.

Huawei will surely clear the doubts on this matter tomorrow. Till then, let’s have a look at the new features arriving with the HarmonyOS NEXT.0.0.71 beta update.

The company has optimized the system performance and stability aspects to some greater extent. Users may find new security patches released this month.

The update further enhances the interface of the file manager, health app, and a few setting icons. The overall features and icons would be more recognizable than before. Next is the camera section. The firmware boosts the photo-capturing performance and makes the camera more responsive to users’ actions.

Other than improvements, users will also find native HarmonyOS apps on the device after installing this app. For instance, the REDnote e-commerce app and the Kuaishou video editor tool. You can check the complete changelog below.
