Honor Debuts Backflipping Humanoid Robot and Robot Phone at MWC 2026

At Mobile World Congress 2026 in Barcelona, Honor unveiled two headline products signaling a pivot toward embodied AI: a humanoid robot and the world's first "Robot Phone."

The Honor humanoid robot, showcased on March 1, targets three applications: retail assistance, workplace safety inspections, and personal companionship. The robot demonstrated physical capabilities including a backflip and dancing, running at approximately 4 m/s. Honor's key differentiator is ecosystem integration: by leveraging connected smartphone and device data, the robot recognizes individual users and delivers personalized assistance from the first interaction.

The Honor Robot Phone is a smartphone with a compact motorized gimbal featuring four degrees of freedom. Its 200MP camera autonomously rotates 90-180° for subject tracking and cinematic video. During video calls, AI-powered "emotional body language" makes the camera physically nod, shake, and dance to music. Commercial launch is planned for the second half of 2026.

Honor also revealed the Magic V6 foldable — an 8.75mm-thin device with a 6,660mAh silicon-carbon battery and dual LTPO 2.0 displays reaching 6,000 nits — alongside the MagicPad 4 tablet and MagicBook Pro 14 laptop.

All products are part of Honor's ALPHA PLAN, a $10 billion AI initiative integrating intelligence across its device ecosystem. Honor enters a crowded field: Unitree targets 20,000 humanoid robot shipments in 2026, while Figure AI and Agility Robotics are deepening commercial partnerships.
