This announcement marks a significant milestone in the HONOR ALPHA PLAN, which was introduced earlier this year as part of HONOR’s strategic roadmap to become a global leader in the AI device ecosystem.

The upcoming HONOR ROBOT PHONE represents a groundbreaking evolution that merges AI-powered multi-modal intelligence, robotic functionality, and advanced handheld imaging technologies.

With its ability to think, sense, and adapt autonomously, the HONOR ROBOT PHONE positions HONOR at the forefront of next-generation AI innovation.

According to HONOR, the industry is now witnessing a natural evolution from the smartphone to the AI phone, and now to the ROBOT PHONE. Beginning with the Magic8 Series, HONOR is leading this transformation through self-evolving AI phones that continuously enhance their hardware performance, user interaction, and ecosystem capabilities through intelligent learning. With the introduction of the ROBOT PHONE, HONOR envisions a device that transcends practicality to become a true emotional companion. This new class of device aims to sense emotions, respond intuitively, and evolve alongside its users, enriching their lives with love, joy, and wisdom.

HONOR has announced plans to reveal more details about the ROBOT PHONE at the upcoming Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2026 in Barcelona. The company anticipates that 2026 will be a pivotal year for AI-driven hardware and software advancements, as both phone manufacturers and AI innovators push the boundaries of what intelligent devices can achieve.
