Honor Robot Phone Integrates Gimbal for Camera Stabilization, Launches in China
Key points
- Honor Robot Phone launched in China, not globally.
- Features a built-in three-axis gimbal for stabilization.
- Primary camera is 200MP with f/1.6 lens.
- Phone measures 9.6mm thick, excluding camera unit.
Integrated Gimbal Technology
Honor's new Robot Phone incorporates a three-axis gimbal directly into the device. This internal gimbal provides stabilization for the phone's 200-megapixel primary camera. The company developed a 2.6-gram gimbal motor to fit the mechanism within the phone's chassis.
Camera Specifications
The primary camera features a 200-megapixel sensor with an f/1.6 lens and optical image stabilization (OIS). The phone also includes a 200MP telephoto camera with OIS offering up to 2.7x optical zoom, a 50MP ultra-wide camera with a 122-degree field of view, and a 50MP front camera. The main sensor can also function as a traditional smartphone camera when the gimbal is folded away.
Design and Activation
The Robot Phone measures 9.6mm thick, not including the camera unit, due to the integrated gimbal. To activate the gimbal, users manually slide a cover, then tap a launcher within the camera or AI assistant app, which deploys the gimbal arm.
Market Availability
The Honor Robot Phone has launched exclusively in China. Honor is conducting a limited production run, similar to Samsung's approach with the Galaxy Z TriFold, indicating a test market strategy rather than a global release.
