Overview
- Honor publicly launched the Robot Phone in August as a premium, experimental device that combines high‑end imaging hardware with an on‑device large model named YOYO.
- The phone’s imaging package was developed with ARRI and includes dual 200MP sensors, a 50MP ultrawide, a 200MP periscope telephoto, a 4D gimbal‑style main camera and Honor’s first image chip, the Yuguang H1.
- Honor says YOYO runs on the device itself and can detect user emotions, habits and environment so the phone can proactively perceive context and suggest or perform tasks.
- Honor set starting price at ¥9,999 for the base configuration and presented the Robot Phone as a deliverable first generation rather than a finished vision, with company leaders saying further development will follow.
- Honor’s chief image engineer also teased an unrevealed new product planned for next year, positioning the Robot Phone launch as the opening move in the company’s multi‑year imaging and AI roadmap.
