VNE-N41

Ships with Magic UI 4.2 (Android 11) with Google services. No built-in gesture or key opens a chosen app: knuckle gestures (where present) only take screenshots or record the screen, and double-pressing Volume down only takes a photo or opens the camera (MagicOS 8 and later also offer the flashlight). Shares the VNE prefix with the Honor X6 (VNE-LX codes).

    Two taps on the home-screen widget within 3 s; a single accidental tap does nothing.

Gestures are set up in the phone settings as shown, then combined into a trigger recipe in the app, where practice mode shows step by step whether a gesture would trigger.
