MWC 2026: HONOR Unveils a Phone That Nods Its Camera and a Humanoid Robot

At MWC 2026 in Barcelona, HONOR revealed two headline-grabbing products under its Augmented Human Intelligence (AHI) vision: the long-teased Robot Phone and a humanoid robot designed for both industrial and domestic applications.

The Robot Phone's defining feature is a 4-degrees-of-freedom (4-DoF) gimbal-mounted camera that physically deploys from the back of the device. The primary camera packs a 200-megapixel sensor with three-axis stabilization. During the MWC demo, the device appeared to nod its head rhythmically to music and respond to user gestures—effectively giving a smartphone a physical range of motion. It supports modes including Super Steady Video and AI Object Tracking. HONOR plans to launch the Robot Phone later in 2026.

The companion humanoid robot made its debut with choreographed demonstrations at the event. Though non-verbal during the presentation, the robot is designed for both factory floors and home environments, signaling HONOR's ambition to move well beyond smartphone hardware.

The dual reveal positions HONOR as a serious contender in the AI hardware space, with MWC 2026 serving as the launch event for the company's broader ALPHA PLAN ecosystem strategy.
