HONOR Teases “ROBOT PHONE” – Redefining the Future of AI Devices

At the launch event of the HONOR Magic8 Series held yesterday in Beijing, HONOR teased an all-new device form factor — the HONOR ROBOT PHONE. This marks a major milestone in the company’s HONOR ALPHA PLAN, announced earlier this year, as HONOR accelerates toward its vision of becoming a global leader in the AI device ecosystem.

According to HONOR, the ROBOT PHONE will integrate AI-powered multimodal intelligence, robotic functionality, and advanced imaging capabilities, creating a brand-new category of AI device. Designed to redefine future human–machine interaction, the ROBOT PHONE will go beyond the boundaries of a traditional smartphone, combining computational power, perception, and emotion-driven interaction.

HONOR believes the industry is undergoing a transformation — from the smartphone, to the AI phone, and now to the ROBOT PHONE. Starting with the new Magic8 Series, the company is leading the evolution of self-evolving AI phones, devices that continuously improve through AI-driven learning across hardware, system interaction, and application ecosystems.

With the ROBOT PHONE, HONOR envisions a future where a phone is more than a communication tool — it becomes an emotional companion that can sense, adapt, and evolve autonomously like a robot. This innovation aims to enrich users’ lives with intelligence, warmth, and emotional connection.

HONOR plans to reveal more details about the ROBOT PHONE at MWC 2026 in Barcelona. The company anticipates that 2026 will mark a significant year of innovation, as both smartphone manufacturers and AI companies continue to explore new frontiers in AI-powered hardware and software development.
