The official schedule omits specific update dates for individual models. Estimating when a particular device receives the software remains difficult, with the exception of recent flagships like the Magic V6, which is slated for this month.
Based on earlier rollout patterns, the report expects several additional Magic series handsets to receive the update during October, followed by remaining models in November. Number series phones such as the Honor 600 Pro and company tablets are anticipated to follow soon after, while Honor X series models are expected toward late 2026 or early 2027.
