Honour has officially launched its futuristic Robot phone in China, bringing one of the most unsuual smartphones designs we have seen in 2026. The flagship smartphone stands out with a motorised 200MP gimbal camera which can physically move, rotate and track the subjects, targeting vloggers, filmmakers and content creators.
Honour Robot Phone Price and Availability
The Honour Robot Phone starts at CNY 9,999, which is approximately $1,400–$1,500, depending on exchange rates. The smartphone is currently available in China, while Honour has not confirmed a global launch date. Reports suggest that an international release may be unlikely, at least initially.
Honour Robot Phone Features and Specifications
The biggest highlight is the 200MP gimbal camera, mounted on a motorised mechanism which rises from the rear of the phone. The system offers three-axis mechanical stabilisation and can move dynamically to follow subjects, which makes it possible to capture smoother videos without carrying a separate gimbal. The phone also features a 200MP periscope telephoto camera and a 50MP ultra-wide camera.
Honour has also partnered with cinema-camera maker ARRI, adding professional video features including ARRI colour science and LogC3 support. AI-powered tracking and automated camera movements further enhance the appeal of the phone for solo creators
The device features a 6.31-inch LTPO OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 6,800 nits of peak brightness. It is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset and comes with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.
A large 7,060mAh battery powers the phone, with support for 120W wired and 50W wireless charging. Despite its complex camera mechanism, the handset measures around 9.6mm thick and weighs approximately 248 grams.
With its robotic camera, flagship hardware and cinema-focused features, the Honour Robot Phone represents a bold experiment in smartphone photography and video creation.
