Honor’s Robot Phone is still more of a concept device than an actual product, but the company has promised it’s going to be launching by the end of this year. It’s not a robot, it’s a phone with a three-axis gimbal for (we assume) the main camera. There are still no specs of any kind, Honor has only done a few demos here and there with very limited functionality.
According to a new rumor out of China, the Robot Phone will be launching in the third quarter of the year, so between July and September. Given the state of the prototypes shown at MWC earlier this month, we’d wager it will be closer to September than July, but we’d be happy to be wrong about this.
Interestingly, the Weibo tipster giving us the release window also claims that Honor’s collaboration with Arri will be first put to use in the Robot Phone, to make its video recording capabilities, paired with the gimbal, sway people away from iPhones apparently.
