Honor launches Robot Phone in China with 200MP gimbal camera
Honor unveiled the Robot Phone in China, featuring a 200MP gimbal camera on the back and Yoyo AI assistant that acts as a robot companion capable of interacting with surroundings. The phone includes a 6.3" display, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, and 7060mAh battery, with pricing starting at CNY 9,999 (approximately $1,482).
An exciting innovation that caught my attention. I'm curious whether it will eventually make its way to other countries. Though given what it costs in China, it would probably come out to around 40,000 crowns here.
What is a gimbal camera and what does it do in the Robot Phone?
A gimbal is a mechanical stabilization system that rotates and stabilizes the camera during video recording. In Robot Phone, it's a small titanium motor capable of 4D movement, primarily used for higher-quality video recording, vlogs, and video calls with automatic subject tracking.
What are the main cameras in Honor Robot Phone?
The phone features a gimbal-mounted main camera with 200MP sensor, a 200MP periscope telephoto lens with 2.7x optical zoom, and a 50MP ultrawide lens with macro capability. The main camera supports up to 4K video and benefits from a partnership with German cinema brand Arri for film-grade quality.
What is the price and availability of Honor Robot Phone?
In China, pricing starts at CNY 9,999 (approximately $1,482) for the 12/512GB model, with the top variant featuring 16GB RAM and 1TB storage priced at CNY 12,999. Sales begin on August 18, and it remains unclear whether the device will launch in other markets.
