Summary
Honor’s new Robot Phone centers on a 2.6g, 6mm-thin motorized gimbal carrying a 200MP 1/1.28-inch main camera, delivering unusually strong stabilization, subject tracking and swivel shots without moving the handset.
ARRI’s partnership extends beyond branding: the phone gets native Log-C3 recording, LUT color grading and a cinema mode, with Honor using it as a live test bed before bringing those color profiles to the Magic9 series.
248 grams of weight and a flimsy gimbal cover are the clearest trade-offs, while tracking can lose subjects in crowds despite the phone’s creative pan and selfie capabilities.
CNY 9,999 pricing, small-batch China-only production and over 100 gimbal components underscore that Honor is treating the device as a tech showcase for enthusiasts rather than a mass-market flagship.
