How Does Magic OS Work on Honor Devices from China?
Welcome to our latest tutorial, where we explore the features of Magic OS on Honor devices from China. Many of our customers wonder how the Chinese version differs from the European one, and that's exactly what we'll clarify today.
- Language and Initial Setup:
During the initial setup of the device, you have a variety of language options available, including German. The setup process is similar to European models: you select your region, agree to the terms of use, and can disable some pre-installed but possibly unnecessary features that are heavily tailored to the Chinese market.
- Fingerprint and Face Recognition:
Setting up security features such as fingerprint and facial recognition is straightforward and works smoothly.
- Customizing Settings:
During setup, various services and features are suggested that may be less relevant for users outside China. It is advisable to disable functions such as YYO Suggestions and Honor Board, as they are primarily in Chinese.
- Apps and Bloatware:
One of the first things you will notice is the pre-installed bloatware. Fortunately, most of these apps can be easily uninstalled by selecting them and choosing to uninstall. However, some system apps, such as the satellite app, cannot be removed.
- Google Services and App Installations:
If Google Play Store is not pre-installed, you can download it from websites like APKMirror. After installation, you can access all Google services as usual, including the fully functional Google Play Store.
- Recommendations for Keyboard and Navigation:
We recommend using the SwiftKey or Google keyboard, as they are more customizable and cause fewer input errors. Additionally, it's wise to adjust the navigation settings to improve device handling.
- Summary and Tips:
In summary, despite some initial adjustments, Honor devices with Magic OS from China are a good choice and can be effectively configured for use abroad. However, for specific applications such as Android Auto and "Okay Google," a different device might be more suitable.
