Honor unveils robot phone with moving camera that can respond to music and gestures

Honor has introduced a new concept phone featuring a robotic camera that moves in response to music and user interactions. The device, initially teased earlier this year, is set for launch in the second half of 2026. The phone’s standout feature is its movable camera, which is mounted on a three-axis gimbal, allowing it to rotate smoothly and capture high-quality photos and videos. This innovative camera system is capable of stabilizing shots and can even perform cinematic shots using its ‘Spinshot’ feature. Users can also engage with the phone via text or voice, allowing the robot to respond with gestures, like nodding or shaking its ‘head,’ to suggest outfit choices. Additionally, the robot camera can track the user during video calls, thanks to its AI-powered object tracking, which brings a new level of fluidity to video calls. The phone includes a 200-megapixel camera and uses micro-motor technology and advanced materials for durability. Honor’s new device promises to bring the robotics and camera worlds closer, offering a glimpse into the future of mobile devices.
