Honor’s ‘Robot Phone’ Surprises with Early Appearance Abroad

Honor unveiled its highly anticipated ‘Robot Phone’ at an overseas event, surprising attendees who got to snap photos of the device in a glass case. The Robot Phone prominently featured a gimbal camera that flips upward, showcasing the phone’s innovative AI-driven capabilities. Honor began teasing the Robot Phone shortly after revealing the Magic 8 series and has been positioning it as a groundbreaking device capable of advanced photography and videography features.

During the Honor User Carnival event in China, the Robot Phone was displayed in an all-glass case, likely a prototype model. This unique setup drew significant attention from visitors, with its distinct camera bar taking center stage. The phone’s design resembles that of the Magic 8 series, featuring rounded corners and potentially a flat display.

Honor CEO Jian Li commented on the company’s commitment to innovation through this new form factor: ‘A technology company is completely devoid of vitality without a little innovation. ROBOT PHONE is just a new game for mobile phones. In the future, glory in different industries will make users proud.’ This statement underscores Honor’s dedication to pushing boundaries in mobile device design.

From user posts on Weibo, more details about the Robot Phone emerged, including its thickness around the rear camera array due to the flip-up mechanism. The device is expected to be quite thick overall, especially where the gimbal-like camera resides. This early reveal hints at a new era in smartphone design and functionality.
