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

The Honor Robot Phone integrates a compact, motorized gimbal camera system directly into its chassis, allowing for automated tracking and stabilization without external hardware. The device features a 200-megapixel primary sensor, a 200-megapixel telephoto lens with 2.7x optical zoom, and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, the phone includes a 7,000 mAh silicon-carbon battery. The gimbal mechanism is constructed from titanium and is designed to be 65% smaller and 200% stronger than standard external smartphone gimbals. It supports 360-degree rotation and automated panoramic photography, which the device executes by physically moving the camera module. The phone's software includes AI-driven features such as automatic subject tracking and group selfie optimization. The device is notably heavy, with the reviewer noting the weight is concentrated in the camera module, which requires a specific grip pattern on the chassis to maintain balance. The phone also includes a dedicated lanyard attachment point to prevent accidental drops.
