Is it a phone or a gimbal? This is Honor’s new Robot Phone!
AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication
Honor has unveiled the Robot Phone, a flagship Android device that integrates a gimbal‑style camera system into a 6.31‑inch smartphone. The device’s built‑in gimbal is about 65 % smaller than conventional handheld gimbals, yet it can lock onto faces, track subjects, and pan‑tilt automatically, mirroring features found in DJI’s Pocket series. Powered by a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor and running MagicOS, the phone delivers flagship performance and a 120 Hz, 6 800‑nit display that remains readable in bright sunlight. Its triple‑camera array includes a 200 MP main sensor, a 200 MP periscope telephoto with 2.7× optical zoom and OIS, and a 50 MP ultrawide lens. A partnership with ARRI adds professional‑grade color science, LOG recording, and a suite of in‑camera filters, though these filters cannot be edited post‑capture. The phone ships in China with a magnetic kickstand, eliminating the need for external tripods.
