Honor finally launches Robot Phone starting at around $1,500
The gimbal-touting AI-first Honor Robot Phone has finally made its debut, and it starts at around $1,500 – though you won’t be able to buy it in most of the world.
The Honor Robot Phone, an AI-first device, has recently launched in China at a price point of around $1,500. The phone's standout feature is its robotic arm, which houses a 200MP camera with 4DoF stabilization. This arm is made possible by a unique 4-DoF mechanical system called the HONOR Titanium Agile Gimbal, developed through 60 manufacturing processes and backed by over 100 patents.
Compared to traditional gimbals, Honor's system reduces size by 65% and increases structural strength by 200%. The gimbal motor, weighing just 2.6g, allows for control speeds of up to 360° per second, while the HONOR Super steel Flip Motor offers a torque density of 120 N·m/L. The phone also incorporates Honor's partnership with ARRI, offering the LOGC3 recording format for enhanced post-production editing and color grading.
The Robot Phone boasts a flagship-tier Android device specification, featuring a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, H1 imaging chip, a 6.31-inch FHD+ OLED display, up to 16GB of RAM, 512GB of storage, a 200MP telephoto and 50MP ultrawide camera, a 7,060 mAh battery, and Android 16 pre-installed. Measuring 9.59mm thin and weighing 248g, it is designed to support the gimbal arm.
Currently, the device is available exclusively in China, with no plans for a global launch at this time.
