Honor has unveiled a physical prototype of its much-discussed 'Robot Phone' concept. This is the first time the device, previously only existing as a digital study, has been shown to the public in tangible form at an internal event. The standout feature of this model is the unique movable camera unit, which can pivot and rotate mechanically due to precise micro-motors. The circular module can adjust its orientation autonomously, potentially enabling real-time tracking and facial recognition functions that have never been seen before in smartphones. However, Honor did not demonstrate a fully functional version of this prototype with operational software, leaving room for skepticism within the tech community about the practicality and commercial viability of such an innovative design.

Honor recently unveiled a physical prototype of its so-called Robot Phone for the first time. Previously existing only as a digital concept study, Honor showed off an actual working model during an internal event. This prototype features a mechanically movable camera that can pivot and rotate thanks to precise micromotors. The unique design aims to enhance flexibility in photographing by allowing the user to adjust the camera angle precisely as needed. According to Honor's presentation, this setup is intended to support functionalities such as real-time face recognition, selfies, and automatic tracking—a feature set that hasn't been seen before on any smartphone. Despite the impressive mechanical movement demonstrated during the unveiling event, Honor did not couple the camera with operati...
