Stephen Cheng, vice president of HONOR Philippines, previewed the HONOR Robot Phone following the Mobile World Congress 2026, giving an early look at a device that combines robotics and smartphone technology with a built-in gimbal camera.
The HONOR Robot Phone is designed for users searching for stable smartphone video, AI camera tracking, and hands-free mobile photography. Its built-in gimbal camera helps reduce shakes and vibrations, allowing users to capture smoother videos and clearer photos without needing extra accessories.
The device also uses artificial intelligence (AI) to track moving subjects, adjust camera angles automatically, and improve framing in real time. These features aim to make mobile photography easier, especially for content creators, vloggers, and social media users who want professional-looking shots without complex setups.
Unlike traditional smartphones, the HONOR Robot Phone introduces a robotic element that physically adjusts the camera to follow motion. This creates a more interactive shooting experience and allows users to record dynamic scenes with minimal effort.
HONOR said the concept indicates how it sees the future of smartphones, focusing on smarter, more intuitive devices that respond to user behavior. The company is positioning the Robot Phone as part of a broader shift toward AI-powered mobile experiences and advanced camera systems.
There is no confirmed price or release date yet for the HONOR Robot Phone in the Philippines or other markets. HONOR said more details, including availability and full specifications, will be announced in the coming months.
The preview comes as demand grows for smartphones with advanced camera features, AI tools, and content creation capabilities, especially among younger users and digital creators.
