Honor has been teasing its Robot Phone since last fall, promising something more than a futuristic device. The company said that\u2019s a whole new species of smartphone, powered by AI and featuring robot-grade motion. Despite all the teasers, there is very little specific information about the device, but now we have a new leak that may have revealed some key details.<\/p>\n

Honor may launch the Robot Phone right around the iPhone 18 Pro premiere<\/h2>\n

Honor may keep its promise and launch the Robot Phone before the end of the year. According to information by leaker SmartPikachu, reported by Huawei Central, the device will launch in the third quarter of this year, or sometime between July and September.\u00a0Considering the reported delays in its development, the Robot Phone is more likely to launch in September than in July. That would put it right against the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Fold, which are almost certainly coming out in early September.<\/p>\n

A few extra tricks<\/h2>\n

In its fight against Apple, the Robot phone will get help from Honor\u2019s partnership with the cinema equipment manufacturer Arri. According to the tipster, that will be the first device to benefit from the partnership between the two companies. That could help it to have better imaging capabilities, such as improved video capturing and color science.<\/p>\n

While Honor is pushing a narrative that the Robot Phone will be an almost conscious entity, the device is more likely to have an autonomous video capturing mode based on AI-powered image detection. That will be done by what appears to be its main camera with a three-axis gimbal, which is behind what SmartPikachu describes as a \u201chardware PTZ anti-shake.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

We still don\u2019t know anything else about the device, except it will feature a 200MP…<\/p>\n
