Honor and Google deepen platform partnership with longer updates and AI integration
With its Alpha Plan underway, Honor now promises long-term Android support and closer cooperation with Google to embed Gemini AI and improve its software ecosystem.
Honor has announced a joint commitment with Google to strengthen its Android platform support. The company now guarantees six years of Android OS and security updates for its upcoming Honor 400 series, aligning with similar practices by Pixel and Samsung devices.
This update period is part of Honor’s wider Alpha Plan, a strategic framework positioning the company as an AI device ecosystem player.
Honor will invest US $10 billion over five years to support this transformation through hardware innovation, software longevity and AI agent integration.
The partnership enables deeper cooperation with Google around Android updates and AI features. Honor already integrates tools like Circle to Search, AI photo expansion and Gemini voice assistants on its Magic series. The extended software support promises longer device lifespans, reduced e-waste and improved user experience.
