Honor’s Robot Phone has been in the news for months — a new leak now adds another chapter to that coverage. A leaked unboxing video has surfaced online on the Chinese social media platform Weibo, showing the box contents before launch.
Honor recently opened reservations for the phone while confirming several hardware details. The reservation announcement followed a string of developments that hinted at a launch soon. The device also recently cleared MIIT and 3C certification in China, and a separate specifications leak detailed the display and chipset ahead of the reveal.
Honor Robot Phone Unboxing
The new unboxing video adds packaging detail to all of this. In the footage, the phone sits on the left side of the box, while the right side carries the slogan “Your First Robot Phone.”
The back of the phone carries a large rectangular camera module, as you may have seen many times by now. The secondary camera and flash sit on the right, while the main camera with its robotic arm gimbal is on the left. Apparently, sliding the lens cover triggers the arm to unfold automatically in 0.8 seconds. You can also see a custom animation on screen the moment the arm extends.
When folded away, the arm sits flush with the body and doesn’t interfere with normal grip. Deployed, it handles 360-degree rotation tracking, automatic composition, and subject tracking.
As for stabilization, the device has a combination of three-axis optical stabilization, the 4DoF gimbal, a dedicated coprocessor, and AI algorithms, reaching CIPA 5.5-level performance.
Honor previously showed off the camera’s real-world output at the Shanghai International Film Festival, where the Robot Phone captured cinematic portraits of festival jury members. With the unboxing leak now circulating and preorders already open, the August launch looks close to confirmed.
