In the world of smartphones, the camera is no longer limited to just taking photos or recording videos. Honor Robot Phone is a new example of this. The biggest feature of this phone, shown during the CES event in January 2026, is its robotic camera, which can rotate on its own with the help of a motor and change its direction as per the need.
AI technology has also been included in it, due to which the phone can do many tasks automatically by understanding the surrounding activities.
Honor Robot Phone has a 200MP robotic camera
The most special thing about Honor Robot phone is its 200MP motorized robotic camera. The company has developed it in collaboration with ARRI, famous for camera technology. This camera has been fitted in 4DoF gimbal system. If we understand in simple language, the camera does not just remain stable at one place, but can rotate in different directions with the help of a motor.
It has a 1/1.28-inch sensor and f/1.6 aperture. The camera also includes technology like PTZ i.e. Pan, Tilt and Zoom, which helps in capturing things from different angles.
Honor has fitted this entire camera system inside the body of the smartphone. According to the company, this is one of the smallest 4DoF gimbal camera systems in the industry.
Camera can track people by moving around on its own
The camera of this phone is mounted on a special mechanical arm. With its help, the camera can change its direction and adjust itself according to the movement. For example, if a person moves from one place to another while recording a video, the camera can track him.
Apart from this, it can also help in scanning the surrounding things and recording videos from different angles. Work has been done to make the mechanical technology used in the phone extremely accurate. The company has claimed 2800MPa high-performance material and 0.001mm simulation accuracy. A special micro motor has been provided for the movement of the camera, whose size has been reduced by 70%.
Will do many things with the help of AI
AI has also been integrated with the camera hardware in Honor Robot Phone. According to the company, it has been provided with AI multi-modal system, which helps in recognizing voice and movement. With this, the phone can automatically adjust the direction and framing of the camera by sensing the surrounding activities.
The phone also has some interesting features. It can imitate gestures like head shaking. Not only this, the camera can also perform dance-like movements by moving according to the beat of the music.
Overall, the aim of Honor Robot Phone is to make smartphone cameras smarter and interactive. Its robotic camera may be especially interesting for those who want better framing for video recording, vlogging and without repeatedly adjusting the camera.
