HONOR Robot Phone: A Smartphone with a Built-In Gimbal Camera and ARRI Cinema Technology
HONOR has officially launched the HONOR Robot Phone, a flagship smartphone that takes a different approach to mobile photography and video.

The gimbal was developed through 60 manufacturing processes and uses more than 100 precision components. The company also says the system is 65% smaller than mainstream gimbals while offering 200% greater structural strength.The 2.6g Titanium Gimbal Motor can move at up to 360° per second, while the HONOR Super Steel Flip Motor provides a torque density of 120 N·m/L. More importantly, the camera can physically move while shooting. It supports modes including Tilt Lock, First Person View (FPV), FPV Vertical, and AI SpinShot.Dual 200MP Cameras with ARRI Cinema TechnologyThe Robot Phone features a 200MP Agile Gimbal Main Camera with a 1/1.28-inch sensor and f/1.6 aperture.

ARRI Looks can also be previewed in real time.For creators using professional editing tools, footage can be taken into DaVinci Resolve, where ARRI LUTs can be applied during post-production.AI-Powered Gimbal TrackingRunning on MagicOS, the Robot Phone introduces YOYO Robot Mode, which combines multimodal perception, gesture recognition, contextual understanding, and physical camera movement.With AI Live-Tracking and Voice Source Localization, the camera can automatically pan and tilt to keep the user in the frame while recording a vlog, livestreaming, or taking part in a video call. It also supports hands-free gesture controls, allowing users to deploy the camera and capture shots without touching the device.Beyond the camera, YOYO Auto Execution can understand user intent and perform multi-step tasks across supported applications and system settings. HONOR's Agent Skills interface also allows third-party developers to create experiences using the phone's gimbal, perception, and embodied-interaction capabilities.Flagship Performance and a Large BatteryThe Robot Phone is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform, with a custom cooling system designed to handle demanding workloads and extended recording sessions.

The final Philippine price may be higher once local taxes, shipping, and distribution costs are included.The HONOR Robot Phone stands out mainly because its camera is part of the phone's physical design rather than simply another camera module. The built-in gimbal camera system gives creators a way to capture moving and tracked shots without carrying an additional gimbal, while the ARRI collaboration adds more control for those who take mobile video seriously.-Subscribe to our social media channels: Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, Twitter, and YouTube. to receive the latest news and updates.
