The Honor Robot Phone features a built-in motorized gimbal camera system

The Honor Robot Phone integrates a motorized gimbal camera directly into its chassis, utilizing a micro-motor that is 70% smaller than those found in traditional external smartphone gimbals. This built-in system provides stabilization for both vertical and horizontal movement, allowing for advanced camera behaviors such as tilt-lock, FPV mode, and super-steady recording. The device includes a 200MP main sensor, a 50MP front-facing camera, a 50MP ultrawide lens, and a 200MP telephoto camera. Beyond hardware, the phone features an AI assistant that can be summoned via palm gesture to perform tasks like tracking subjects, capturing panoramas, and executing automated camera movements. The system is currently limited to the Chinese market and uses a proprietary interface for its gimbal controls. While the device offers unique creative capabilities, such as color grading with ARRI-inspired looks, the stitching quality for panoramic images is limited to 24MP, and the gimbal mechanism lacks vertical rotation, requiring the camera to crop into the horizontal frame for vertical shots.
