HONOR unveils the world’s first robot phone, “Robot Phone”

HONOR announced the “Robot Phone,” a smartphone with a built-in 4-DoF gimbal, on August 12, 2026.

What happened

HONOR announced the world’s first robotic smartphone, the “HONOR Robot Phone,” on August 12, 2026. The device has a built-in 4-DoF titanium gimbal and a camera system developed in collaboration with ARRI’s image science team.

Why it matters

HONOR said it has incorporated a four-degree-of-freedom mechanical gimbal and ARRI image-processing elements into its smartphone, a development relevant to users who value not only image stabilization but also composition and color reproduction when shooting video. The device is designed to make it easier to track a subject while holding the phone and to connect on-site filming with editing.
