Honor is pushing the boundaries of smartphone design with its “Robot Phone,” a concept device showcasing a unique AI-powered gimbal camera. Instead of being fixed, this camera extends from the phone’s back, offering full directional control for photography and videography. The device, currently presented through CGI renders, reveals a camera arm that deploys with a lighthearted sound effect. This allows for seamless switching between selfies and capturing shots from diverse angles, mimicking independent movement. Honor intends this “Robot Phone” to act as more than just a gadget, positioning it as an “emotional companion” capable of assisting with tasks like photo framing, calming infants, and even appreciating celestial objects. More information about this innovative concept is anticipated at the Mobile World Congress next spring.
