Overview
- Honor has opened pre-orders in China for the Robot Phone at ¥9,999, marketing a flagship built around a motorised 4DoF titanium gimbal that physically stabilises a 200MP main camera.
- The phone uses a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 platform and is reported to include large memory and storage options, a 7,060mAh battery with fast wired and wireless charging, and a 6.3-inch LTPO OLED display.
- Honor says the device’s Yoyo AI assistant can perform more than 100 camera gestures and enable AI subject tracking to automate creative moves and on-device shot control.
- Hands-on footage from TechRadar that went viral on TikTok has driven strong consumer interest, but Honor has not announced official availability outside China.
- Reviewers and commenters have raised specific concerns about the gimbal’s long-term durability, cleaning and maintenance, the phone’s heavier 248g weight, and reduced ingress protection when the gimbal is deployed.
