Honor has finally launched its much-hyped Honor Robot Phone in China after first teasing it way back in October last year. The device has appeared in several leaks and teasers sine then, while Honor has also showcased an early prototype at CES. Its biggest highlight of this unique smartphone is a mechanical gimbal camera built directly into the rear of the smartphone.

And now, the company has finally revealed the complete specifications, pricing and availability details of the Robot Phone.

Honor Robot Phone With Tiny Titanium Gimbal

The Robot Phone is a flagship Android smartphone built around its unique gimbal camera system. Honor says developing the mechanism involved more than 60 manufacturing processes and over 100 precision components.

The gimbal system is also backed by more than 100 patents. Honor claims it is the industry’s smallest titanium gimbal system and is 65 percent smaller than traditional gimbals such as those found in products like DJI’s Osmo Pocket series. The company describes it as the industry’s smallest 4D gimbal system.

At the heart of the mechanism is an ultralight 2.6-gram titanium gimbal motor that is only 6mm thick. Despite the complicated camera mechanism, the complete system fits within the phone’s 9.6mm-thick body. The Robot Phone weighs 248 grams, however, making it considerably heavier than many conventional smartphones.

200MP Gimbal Camera with AI tracking

The main gimbal camera uses a large 1/1.28-inch sensor with 200-megapixel resolution and an f/1.6 aperture. It supports video recording at up to 4K resolution and works with Honor’s H1 imaging chip.

Users can also control certain gimbal functions through voice commands. For example, they can ask the phone to rotate the gimbal or focus on a particular point.

The camera system also uses AI-powered subject tracking with real-time auto-framing and tracking features designed for vlogging, livestreaming and video calls.

Honor has designed the gimbal to do more than simply help users record videos. The company has integrated it with its Yoyo AI assistant, which allows the Robot Phone to observe and interact with its surroundings and carry out certain tasks on its own.

Honor has also given the gimbal more than 100 facial expressions and movements including nodding and peeking. It can even dance along with music, adding to the phone’s robot-like personality.

First Honor Phone from ARRI Partnership

The Robot Phone is also the first product to arrive as part of Honor’s partnership with ARRI, the renowned German cinema equipment company.

As part of the collaboration, the phone supports native Log-C3 video encoding and LUT colour grading with the latter processed directly on the device. It also includes a dedicated cinema mode designed to reproduce the visual style and feel of ARRI cinema cameras.

The gimbal camera is joined by two other rear cameras. These include a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera with a 1/1.4-inch sensor and 2.7x optical zoom along with a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera that also works as a macro camera.

Honor Robot Phone – Other Key Specifications

Moving beyond the cameras, the Honor Robot Phone features a 6.3-inch LTPO OLED display with a resolution of 2,640 x 1,216 pixels. The panel supports a variable refresh rate ranging from 1Hz to 120Hz, allowing it to adjust according to the content on screen. The display can reach a peak local brightness of 6,800 nits. Honor has also added its AR anti-reflective coating to reduce glare and improve visibility.

The Honor Robot Phone is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. It is available with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.

On the software side, the smartphone runs MagicOS 10 based on Android 16.

It gets a 7,060mAh silicon-carbon battery with support for 120W wired charging and 50W wireless charging.

Honor Robot Phone – Price and Availability

The Honor Robot Phone sale in China is scheduled to start from August 18. It will be offered in Silver and Grey colour options in China.

As for China pricing, the 12GB RAM + 512GB storage variant is priced at CNY 9,999 (around $1,482), while the higher-end 16GB RAM + 1TB storage version costs CNY 12,999 (around $1,927).
