"In case you missed it somehow, the Robot Phone has a unique gimbal mechanism that flips out of the back. Here you can see it retracted (left) and extended (right). Note that the first step of this process is for the protective panel to slide out of the way to the right. This panel normally sits above the gimbal and protects the elaborately articulated mechanism."
"The "robot" is a 3-axis gimbal, similar to a DJI Osmo Pocket, for example. It has a wide range of motion, which allows the phone to track objects moving around it and also adds stabilization if you are using it on the go. Honor is still keeping details under wraps, e.g. we don't know anything about the sensor inside the camera module. The company has offered some hints as to what features will be enabled by this, e.g. a star tracking mode."
"Naturally, this camera can be used for selfies as well as video calls - the gimbal can track you even if you walk all the way around the room. That's cool and all, but Honor has bigger ambitions than a fancy webcam. The goal is to create something that can observe our world and even interact with it to some extent - promo videos show that our little robot friend will have a lot of personality."
Honor previewed a Robot Phone at CES 2026 featuring a flip-out, protective-panel-covered gimbal that retracts into the phone's back. The gimbal is a three-axis mechanism with wide motion that provides object tracking and stabilization for handheld or mobile use. The camera can serve for selfies and video calls while tracking subjects around the room, and company hints indicate features such as star-tracking mode. The device can operate upright or face-down, allowing the gimbal to self-level. The preview unit is non-functioning; a full functional demonstration is expected at MWC.
