“With Human-centric as our lighthouse, we navigate the growth of AI through the two beams of IQ and EQ, bringing three forms of intelligence together. We are exploring the new paradigm of AI devices with Alpha Phone; hosting the new paradigm of AI ecosystem with Alpha Store; and building the new paradigm of a silicon-carbon civilization with Alpha Lab. With three waves of the Alpha Plan, we now have all the components in place and we are driving this journey at full warp speed.”
James Li, CEO of HONOR
HONOR unveiled its Robot Phone, Humanoid Robot, and Magic V6 at Mobile World Congress Barcelona 2026 yesterday.
HONOR positions the Robot Phone as a new species of smartphone. It combines embodied AI interaction with robot-grade motion and cinematic imaging capabilities, offering the next generation of devices a brain, hands, and feet, with more physical, expressive interaction through motion and camera movement. Multimodal perception allows it to identify sounds, track motion, and maintain visual awareness. The Robot Phone supports all-angle AI video calling. It follows the user and responds with emotional body language, including expressive nods and head shakes. It can even dance to the beat of music. HONOR applied high-performance materials and reliability know-how developed for foldables to Robot Phone engineering. Reducing the motor size allowed HONOR to fit an ultra-compact 4DoF gimbal system into the phone. The mechanical architecture supports a three-axis gimbal stabilisation system. The Super Steady Video mode enhances stability in high-movement scenarios.
HONOR’s first humanoid robot will focus on three core scenarios of shopping assistance, workplace inspections and supportive companionship. Understanding users developed through its smartphones and connected devices, HONOR’s ecosystem continuity enables future embodied AI devices to recognise users, understand their needs, and provide personalised physcial assistance from the first interaction.
Through the debut of the Robot Phone and its humanoid robot, alongside the HONOR Magic V6, MagicPad 4, and MagicBook Pro 14, HONOR is bridging the gap between digital and physical AI.
