HONOR MagicOS 11, the company’s Android 17-based custom skin, now has a global rollout schedule covering its open beta and official versions. HONOR unveiled the software in September at the HONOR Global Developer Conference in China, where it also announced eligible devices for the Chinese market.
The global plan separates devices that can take part in the open beta from those listed for the stable release. The open beta has already begun and continues until November 2026, while the official version is scheduled to roll out between October 2026 and March 2027.

How to Check for HONOR MagicOS 11 Beta Updates
Eligible users can keep an eye on the My HONOR Club app for open beta announcements in their region. Availability can depend on the regional programme, and the global schedule currently gives an overall rollout window rather than a device-by-device calendar.
HONOR is expected to share more device-wise rollout details in the coming months. Until then, the open beta list and official-version list should be checked separately before assuming a particular phone or tablet is included in a specific phase.
For context on previous software updates, see our coverage of the MagicOS 9 update for HONOR Magic6 Pro and the ColorOS 17 rollout for OPPO, OnePlus and realme devices. You can also check the Nothing OS 5.0 rollout schedule for another Android 17-based software update.
Conclusion
HONOR MagicOS 11 has a global open beta window through November 2026 and an official rollout planned from October 2026 to March 2027. The company has published eligible-device lists for both phases, but individual stable release dates are not yet specified.
