The Story in Brief
Honor has launched the Robot Phone in China, a flagship with a novel gimbal camera that physically pans, tilts, and spins. It features a 6.31-inch LTPO OLED display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, up to 16GB RAM, and 1TB storage. The rear camera array includes a 200MP main sensor with three-axis mechanical stabilisation, a 200MP periscope telephoto, and a 50MP ultra-wide. A 7,060mAh battery supports 120W wired and 50W wireless charging.
The 12GB+512GB variant costs CNY 9,999 (approx Rs 1.23 lakh), and the 16GB+1TB variant costs CNY 12,999 (approx Rs 1.60 lakh). Times Now reports that the launch is limited to China, with no word on an India or global release.
The Indian Opinion
The 'robot' gimmick draws eyeballs, but does a moving camera justify a Rs 1.6 lakh price tag? Early reviews must answer whether the gimbal's physical movement improves stabilisation over standard optical systems or is just a party trick. Battery life and dust ingress are real concerns for a moving part. Watch for third-party durability tests and whether Honor sells even a lakh units.
