HONOR teased an exciting new form factor ROBOT PHONE at the Magic8 series launch event in Beijing, China, yesterday. This represents an important milestone in the HONOR ALPHA PLAN, announced earlier this year, as the company advances toward its goal of becoming a global AI device ecosystem leader.

This innovative device will integrate AI-powered multi-modal intelligence, robotic functionality, and advanced handheld imaging capabilities. As a new species of AI device, the HONOR ROBOT PHONE will redefine future human-machine interaction and coexistence, positioning HONOR at the forefront of AI device innovation. 

We are witnessing a transformation from smartphone to AI phone and now to ROBOT PHONE. Starting from the new Magic8 series, HONOR leads the evolution of self-evolving AI phones—devices that continually advance in hardware performance, system interaction, and application ecosystem through AI-driven learning capabilities. With the ROBOT PHONE, HONOR envisions the future phone as more than just a tool; it becomes an emotional companion that senses, adapts, and evolves autonomously like a robot, enriching its users’ lives with love, joy, and wisdom. 

HONOR plans to unveil more detailed information about this new ROBOT PHONE at MWC 2026 in Barcelona. We anticipate that 2026 will bring more exciting hardware and software innovations in AI devices from phone manufacturers and AI companies.
