MWC 2026: what is the first cell phone with a robotic arm camera that was presented by Honor like?

Robot Phone Supports AI video calling at all angles that follows the user using robotic-level motion control. He also responds with emotional body language, including expressive nods; That is, they can tell you yes or no. Provides a playful and realistic interaction.

“It can monitor the environment, track and sense what is happening around it. It performs tricks, gives advice and can record with cinematic quality. Thanks to the partnership of Arriintegrates practically automated video editing tools,” Moheno added.

By significantly reducing the size of the motor – smaller than even a coin – Honor installed an ultra-compact 4DoF gimbal system on the phone, creating the hardware foundation for robotic-grade built-in motion control.

As explained by the Chinese firm. This mechanical architecture supports a stabilization system of three-axis gimbal, providing smooth and precise movement even in dynamic environments.

Super Steady Video mode improves stability in high-motion situationswhile AI object tracking allows the Robot Phone Intelligently follow subjects in real time. AI SpinShot further expands creative control, supporting intelligent 90° and 180° rotational movements for fluid, cinematic transitions.

In practice we saw how the phone is capable of recognizing you and activating the robotic arm immediately to begin interacting. In turn, this external camera made movements as if it were dancing to the rhythm of the music playing on the cell phone, as evidenced by the song “Believer” by Imagine Dragons.

Once we see the final product and it is officially exhibited, probably at IFA 2026, it will be possible to analyze whether this robotic arm is practical for the regular customer of smartphoneswhich increasingly requires greater productivity, or if it is an unnecessary extension. The integration with the IA and your level of interaction bodes well for you.
