Ahead of the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, the Chinese company provided more details about the device, including how the robot can respond to different situations without commands. The company said that it is planning to launch this device in the second half of this year. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Honor said that the robot also has a \u201cpersonality\u201d and can respond to you with \u201chead shakes\u201d and can also dance to the beat of music. The company noted that users can talk to the assistant on the phone through text and voice. Honor showed a video of a person asking for apparel suggestions, and the robot nodding or shaking to suggest an outfit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The phone has a 200-megapixel camera on a moving robot three-axis gimbal with stabilization tech. The company said that the camera can smoothly rotate around and capture smooth videos and photos. It also has a Super Steady mode for video capture. The company said the phone can get cinematic shots through its Spinshot feature that makes the robot camera rotate by 90 or 180 degrees. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"381\" width=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Robot-Phone-photo-1.jpg?w=680\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3098298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Robot-Phone-photo-1.jpg 2694w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Robot-Phone-photo-1.jpg?resize=150,84 150w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Robot-Phone-photo-1.jpg?resize=300,168 300w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Robot-Phone-photo-1.jpg?resize=768,430 768w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Robot-Phone-photo-1.jpg?resize=680,381 680w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Robot-Phone-photo-1.jpg?resize=1200,673 1200w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Robot-Phone-photo-1.jpg?resize=1280,717 1280w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Robot-Phone-photo-1.jpg?resize=430,241 430w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Robot-Phone-photo-1.jpg?resize=720,404 720w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Robot-Phone-photo-1.jpg?resize=900,504 900w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Robot-Phone-photo-1.jpg?resize=800,448 800w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Robot-Phone-photo-1.jpg?resize=1536,861 1536w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Robot-Phone-photo-1.jpg?resize=2048,1148 2048w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Robot-Phone-photo-1.jpg?resize=668,375 668w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Robot-Phone-photo-1.jpg?resize=1101,617 1101w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Robot-Phone-photo-1.jpg?resize=708,397 708w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Robot-Phone-photo-1.jpg?resize=50,28 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><span class=\"wp-element-caption__text\">Image Credits: Honor<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The robotic camera also allows for more fluid video calls that can track you through AI-powered object tracking. The tech is like Apple\u2019s Center Stage on steroids if it works. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company said that it developed its own micro motor to control the robotic camera\u2019s movements. It noted that it used some techniques used in foldable phones to make the camera more sturdy and fit the four-degree-of-freedom gimbal system into the body of a phone. Honor said that it is using the same materials for the robotic arm as the Honor Magic V6\u2019s hinge, with 2800 MPa tensile strength.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"381\" width=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Robot-phone-photo-3.jpg?w=680\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3098299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Robot-phone-photo-3.jpg 2696w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Robot-phone-photo-3.jpg?resize=150,84 150w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Robot-phone-photo-3.jpg?resize=300,168 300w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Robot-phone-photo-3.jpg?resize=768,430 768w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Robot-phone-photo-3.jpg?resize=680,381 680w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Robot-phone-photo-3.jpg?resize=1200,672 1200w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Robot-phone-photo-3.jpg?resize=1280,717 1280w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Robot-phone-photo-3.jpg?resize=430,241 430w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Robot-phone-photo-3.jpg?resize=720,403 720w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Robot-phone-photo-3.jpg?resize=900,504 900w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Robot-phone-photo-3.jpg?resize=800,448 800w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Robot-phone-photo-3.jpg?resize=1536,860 1536w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Robot-phone-photo-3.jpg?resize=2048,1147 2048w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Robot-phone-photo-3.jpg?resize=668,375 668w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Robot-phone-photo-3.jpg?resize=1102,617 1102w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Robot-phone-photo-3.jpg?resize=708,397 708w, https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Robot-phone-photo-3.jpg?resize=50,28 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><span class=\"wp-element-caption__text\">Image Credits: Honor<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Honor also <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2026\/03\/01\/honor-launches-its-new-slim-foldable-magic-v6-with-a-6600-mah-battery\/\">released the Honor Magic V6 foldable<\/a> with a 6,600 mAh battery, the Honor MagicPad 4 tablet, and the Honor MagicBook 14 laptop at its event.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-techcrunch-inline-cta\">\n<div class=\"inline-cta__wrapper\">\n<p>Techcrunch event<\/p>\n<div class=\"inline-cta__content\">\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-cta__location\">San Francisco, CA<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-cta__separator\">|<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"inline-cta__date\">October 13-15, 2026<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2026\/03\/01\/honor-says-its-robot-phone-with-moving-camera-can-dance-to-music\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Honor first teased its \u201cRobot &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":26086,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[249],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26085"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=26085"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26085\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/26086"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=26085"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=26085"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=26085"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
