James Li, CEO of HONOR, stated: "With human-centricity as our guiding light, we navigate the growth of AI through two rays: CI and CE, uniting three forms of intelligence. We are exploring the new paradigm of AI devices with Alpha Phone; hosting the new paradigm of AI ecosystem with Alpha Store; and building the new paradigm of a silicon-carbon civilization with Alpha Lab. With the three waves of the Alpha Plan, we now have all the components in place and are driving this journey at maximum speed".


The Robot Phone is a new kind of smartphone, which combines interaction with corporeal AI with robotic-level cinematic image and movement capabilities. Instead of reacting solely through screens and voice commands, HONOR is, figuratively, endowing its next generation of devices not only with a brain, but also hands and feet, combining AI with a more physical and expressive interaction through movement and camera movement.

It goes beyond what a static smartphone can offer, providing a more human and expressive interaction with everyday technology and adjusting its perspective in real time. Multimodal perception means it can identify sounds, follow movement, and maintain visual awareness, creating a more natural, sensory, and intuitive interaction model. Robot Phone also introduces interaction with a corporeal AI designed to feel more natural and expressive. It supports video calls with AI at all angles that follow the user through robotic-level motion control. It also responds with emotional body language, including expressive nods and head movements, and can even dance to the rhythm of the music, bringing a playful and realistic interaction to the smartphone experience.

Putting a robot in a smartphone required rethinking space, force, and weight at a microscopic level. HONOR applied high-performance materials and reliability technology developed for foldables to the engineering of robotic phones, achieving the creation of a self-developed micromotor designed to adapt to a compact body and provide extreme resistance. By significantly reducing the size of the motor, HONOR was able to install an ultra-compact 4DoF gimbal system in the phone, creating the hardware base for robotic-grade built-in motion control.


This mechanical architecture supports a three-axis gimbal stabilization system, providing smooth and precise movement even in dynamic environments. Super Steady Video mode enhances stability in high-motion situations, while AI object tracking allows the Robot Phone to intelligently follow subjects in real time. AI SpinShot further expands creative control, supporting intelligent rotational movements of 90° and 180° for fluid and cinematic transitions, even when shooting with one hand.


Built around a 200MP sensor and a stabilized gimbal camera system, Robot Phone is designed to help users go beyond capturing moments and get closer to capturing life stories. Through stabilization, intelligent tracking, and cinematic-style camera movement, it aims to bridge the gap between smartphone video and professional-looking storytelling.


Overall, these capabilities demonstrate how embodied AI can unlock new forms of capture and interaction, positioning the Robot Phone as a defining step in HONOR's evolution towards smarter and more adaptive devices. As HONOR continues to advance its ALPHA PLAN, the Robot Phone offers a vision of how embodied artificial intelligence can shape the next generation of mobile technology.
