MagicOS 10 is thought to first appear on a Mini and/or Ultra version of the next-gen Magic8 flagship smartphone, as well as more direct successors to the Magic7 and 7 Pro.
The new series is thought to start appearing in October 2025, even though the top-end Snapdragon 8 Elite-series chipset on which most of them might be based is slated to be official by September.
Now, a basis for this possible delay might have emerged. The (well-named) leaker Wangzai Know-it-All claims to have heard from Honor's MagicOS product manager that its next public beta might not be available until September 2025.
The build is already lagging behind other Android 16-based counterparts such as HyperOS 3 and ColorOS 16 in this respect as it is. Then again, its new leak suggests that it will be made available to an appreciably large pool of testers when it is available.
Meanwhile, Digital Chat Station (another mobile tech leaker) asserts that a number of these new OS versions will be veritable iOS 26 clones with their own versions of UI features such as Liquid Glass and notification stacking.
Whether MagicOS 10 will follow this formula or not remains unknown at this time, although Wangzai Know-it-All already insists that its design language will be significantly different from that of the AI-heavy MagicOS 9 "from first glance".
