Honor’s Robot Phone, which captured one of our top showcase awards at MWC 2026, now has a confirmed launch timeframe.
During MWC, Honor unveiled the Robot Phone after initially teasing it as a concept late last year. Back then in Barcelona, the company only indicated that the release would be in the latter half of 2026, but it has since specified a Q3 2026 launch.
Since its first teaser, Honor has been generating significant excitement around the Robot Phone. We had the chance to experience it firsthand at MWC, and for those who may not recall, the Robot Phone boasts a gimbal-style camera system on its rear that can autonomously track your movements. It resembles having a DJI Osmo Pocket integrated right into a smartphone.
