The latest OS also greatly improves the visual elements producing seamless smart office experience. According to Honor, there are some improvements in Multi-Screen through this new update. Last but not least, the photography department also got some love. Users can now implement filters from the viewfinder even before taking the shot. The camera app also boasts a modern-refreshed look making it easier to zoom in on objects. Security was expanded on Magic UI 3.0 through the self-developed Trusted Execution Environment OS, and there will be support for app sand-boxing.
