Recent leaks suggest that the Honor Robot Phone will feature a 6.3" to 6.4" display with a "1.5K" resolution, driven by the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC. Its impressive camera capabilities include a 200MP primary camera with f/1.6 aperture, complemented by a gimbal for enhanced stabilization, a 50MP ultrawide lens, and a 200MP periscope telephoto camera. A 6,000 mAh battery will reportedly keep the device powered, although it might be considered on the smaller side for modern Chinese smartphones, potentially due to the space the gimbal occupies.
With expectations that the camera performance of the Robot Phone could rival the upcoming Magic9 flagship series, it’s likely that consumers should prepare for a steep price tag upon its release.
