A congress assistant tests the innovative Honor Robot Phone showcased at the Honor booth. This ''new species'' of smartphone features a revolutionary 200-megapixel main camera sensor integrated into an industry-first 4DoF (four degrees of freedom) motorized gimbal system. The device, powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, utilizes on-device AI and specialized micro-motors--70% smaller than standard gimbals--to perform autonomous subject tracking, rhythmic movement, and expressive gestures like nodding. The hardware includes a high-durability titanium alloy mechanical arm and a high-capacity silicon-carbon anode battery to support the motorized components during the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Spain, on March 5, 2026.
