Honor is preparing to enter a new era in the world of smartphones with its innovative “ROBOT PHONE,” which is the first phone equipped with a foldable robotic camera arm, in a move that could radically change the concept of phone design and functionality.
Recent leaks indicate that mass production of the phone is expected to begin in the first half of 2026, with the company remaining silent on the official launch date. During the unveiling of the Magic 8 series, Honor offered a glimpse of this innovative phone, which features a small robotic arm that extends to take photos and then returns to attach to the rear after completion.
This new design represents a departure from the usual pattern of phones and shows that the company is targeting a segment of users who are looking for a unique technological experience, according to a report published by huaweicentral.
The leaker SmartPikachu also reported that the phone will enter mass production in the first half of next year, which is consistent with leaks that predict a possible launch in August of 2026.
He also advised users looking for high customizations and greater production capabilities to wait until the official announcement of the phone’s availability.
The phone’s distinction is not limited to design, but it is also supported by a large-scale “YOYO AI” model, capable of understanding the user and interacting with them emotionally, in addition to the smart object recognition feature in various environments.
As for the robotic arm, it provides superior flexibility in shooting through movement, stabilization, and smooth return to its original position.
With the company’s upcoming participation in MWC 2026, more details are expected to be revealed about this device, which appears poised to attract global attention. (Arabic)
