Honor Robot Phone: a revolutionary smartphone with an autonomous robot camera

Honor is preparing to introduce one of the most innovative smartphones today — the Honor Robot Phone. The device combines the capabilities of a flagship phone with a unique mechanized imaging system that opens a new era of mobile photography.

Positioning

Honor Robot Phone is an ambitious gadget that goes beyond the usual form factor of a smartphone. The main emphasis is on interactivity and the possibility of autonomous shooting. The company’s engineers have designed a camera that can imitate the movements of a living being: the gadget can nod its “head”, perform dance movements and maintain focus on moving objects during video calls with the help of built-in AI.

Camera features

The main element of the novelty was a 200 MP autonomous camera placed on a special bracket. Its key features:

• Complete rotation around the axis by 360 degrees.
• Changing the angle of inclination of the sensors in all planes.
• Super Steady modes for smooth shots and Spinshot, which allows the camera to tilt 90 or 180 degrees.
• Automatically hide the camera in the case when the device is not in use.

The implementation of the moving module became possible thanks to a compact micromotor. The creation of the system used Honor’s developments, which were previously used in the field of complex devices, which provided the camera with four degrees of freedom.

Release date and price

The official presentation of the new product is scheduled for August 12. It is on this day that the manufacturer will reveal all the technical characteristics, the sales schedule and the final price. According to preliminary information, the price of the device will be about $2300. For other regions (European market), the amount in euros will be approximately €2,120 (about 94,485 hryvnias). Considering the high class of the gadget, we should expect an additional price increase in the global market.

Honor Robot Phone is interesting as a technological demonstrator of mobile photo and video shooting capabilities. The ability of the device to track the owner in motion, as well as the unique mechanics of the camera on the bracket, turn the phone into a personal robot assistant for content creators.
