Honor Announces a Surprisingly Capable Gimbal-Equipped 'Robot Phone'
On Wednesday, Chinese smartphone brand Honor announced the Honor Robot Phone, which features a built-in motorized camera. The camera rotates, tilts, and stabilizes video footage regardless of the handset's orientation, mimicking a gimbal.
The phone's primary rear camera uses a 200MP sensor with an f/1.6 aperture and optical image stabilization. A second 200-megapixel periscope camera gives 2.7x optical zoom, and a 50MP ultra-wide camera completes the rear camera setup. Honor says the phone records 4K video at up to 120 FPS and supports 10-bit ARRI LogC3 capture.
Surprisingly, it doesn't follow the industry standard of offering a 6.5-inch or larger screen; instead, it comes with a compact 6.31-inch LTPO OLED display. Under the hood, there's Qualcomm's flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor and a 7,060mAh battery. Honor lists 120W wired charging and 50W wireless charging.
