The Chinese company has announced the opening of the beta program dedicated to Android 17: the star of the show is Honor Magic 8 Pro, the company’s latest flagship.

Honor Magic 8 Pro: Android 17 Beta program kicks off
The arrival of Android 17 Beta 3 unlocks a range of features affecting both multitasking and ease of use, as well as improvements in photography (and more). The software introduces the new Bubbles, which now evolve into independent floating windows for any app. In this way it is possible to minimize any app into a floating window, invoking it anywhere on the screen.
The new beta version introduces native support for the RAW4 format, a key feature for a Camera Phone like Honor Magic 8 Pro – which allows to further improve its AiMage camera system.
The Quick Settings menu has been refined, the dark theme can be managed with maximum user customization, and there are improvements also in terms of privacy and security.
