"The so-called Robot Phone can swivel a motorized camera at the end of a gimbal-like robot arm to give it a surprisingly lifelike appearance - like a miniaturized Wall-E that can poke its head out of your shirt pocket as you explore the world."
"Honor is teasing the concept as a way to stuff more AI into its offerings, presumably allowing would-be owners to record and analyze their surroundings, not unlike other AI wearables we've come across so far."
"A close viewing of Honor's video suggests that it's predominantly AI-generated, including scenes that show entire crowds. Human features are smoothed over, details are a touch too simplistic, and something about the movement feels way off."
Honor introduced a Robot Phone concept ahead of Mobile World Congress, featuring a small motorized robot arm with a camera that extends from the smartphone's back. The arm functions like a gimbal, allowing the camera to swivel and observe surroundings with a lifelike appearance reminiscent of Wall-E. Honor positions this as an AI-focused innovation for recording and analyzing environments. However, significant skepticism surrounds the concept's authenticity, as Honor's promotional videos appear predominantly AI-generated with unrealistic details and unnatural movement. Questions remain about the device's durability, practicality, and whether it represents actual technology or vaporware.
