Honor revealed at MWC 2025 that it plans to provide seven years of software updates for its smartphones, following Samsung and Google’s lead. This offer will only apply to models in the Magic line as part of the “HONOR ALPHA PLAN” to extend the longevity of devices.
Honor will provide updates for seven years.
The Magic line models have received updates from Android and security packages for five years, which is not as extensive as Samsung and Google’s premium mobiles that offer up to seven years of updates.
Honor’s new approach includes providing seven years of software support and security updates for its higher-end models to extend device lifespan and minimize electronic waste.
The modification will start in Europe before expanding to other areas. The Chinese manufacturer’s latest flagship, the Magic 7 Pro, was initially promised five years of updates upon its launch in October 2024, but the company has now extended this to seven years.
Honor is setting a precedent with its extended software support, which may prompt other Chinese manufacturers like Xiaomi and realme to do the same. However, Qualcomm and Google are teaming up to offer eight years of updates, potentially prompting Samsung to adopt a similar strategy for its upcoming flagship devices.
