Speaking at the recent China Internet entrepreneurs Forum, Li Jian said Honor is developing a completely new device, called the Robot Phone, expected to launch next year. The combination of artificial intelligence (AI), personal intelligence, unique, high-quality cameras will bring a new and attractive experience to users.
Honor introduced the Robot Phone more than a month ago, creating a heated discussion among online users in China and around the world. For many, this device is like a somewhat science fiction product. However, Honor promises it is a real product and will be put into mass production.
Mr. Li Jian once again confirmed this. It is expected that the Robot Phone can be introduced to everyone in February 2026 and put on shelves for sale in August 2026.
Robot phone uses multi-modal artificial intelligence, advanced robotics technology and new generation image technology. A video introducing the phone has revealed a few features of the device, confirming that it is powered by AI.
The machine will have a large camera modular at the rear, accounting for 90% of the width. The render image shows a potential camera. In addition to the usual technical specifications, the phone also has a special feature - a robotic camera, which can be folded out of the back through a robotic arm and supports free movement in all directions to record the user's facial expressions and gestures.
It is known that the camera will provide this data source for real-time processing using multi-modal capability. The device is part of the company's Honor Alpha plan, focusing on technology development and advances in AI.
Honor believes that the AI era will soon promote the co- living relationship between humans and end devices, with end devices becoming the core place for the interaction between humans and next-generation computers. This is the foundation for Honor to develop this product line.
