The HONOR Magic8 Pro is among the first smartphones to support Android 17 Beta 3, giving developers early access to Google\u2019s upcoming mobile platform ahead of its wider release.<\/p>\n

Other updates include separate Quick Settings toggles for Wi-Fi and mobile data, alongside a redesigned screen recording interface that lets users choose between recording the full display or a specific app.<\/p>\n
