Overview
- Honor officially unveiled the Robot Phone on August 12 and opened Chinese preorders that day with sales set to begin on August 18, offering 12GB/512GB and 16GB/1TB configurations priced at RMB 9,999 and RMB 12,999.
- The phone pairs flagship internals — a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a 6.31‑inch LTPO OLED, up to 16GB RAM, 1TB storage, and a 7,060 mAh battery with 120W wired charging — under a metal unibody.
- The headline feature is a built‑in 4DoF “Titanium Agile Gimbal” that moves a 200MP main camera for physical stabilization, supports multiple movement modes and tracking, and can deploy in about 0.8 seconds.
- Honor’s ARRI Cinematic Imaging Partnership brings LogC3, ARRI Wide Gamut 3 and ARRI Looks to the phone’s pipeline with on‑device processing described as 14‑bit input down to 10‑bit output for a capture‑to‑edit workflow.
- Reviewers praise the engineering and creator focus but note trade‑offs including a 248 g weight, an IP54 stowed rating with reduced protection when the gimbal is deployed, situational tracking performance, and unanswered questions about long‑term mechanical durability.
