HONOR Robot Phone to launch in Q3 2026

HONOR partners with ARRI to bring film-grade motion control to its upcoming smartphone

The viral HONOR Robot Phone, first showcased at MWC 2026, will officially be launched in Q3 2026.

HONOR confirmed this during the Cannes Film Festival’s China Night, showcasing the Robot Phone in partnership with ARRI.

It is a fitting backdrop for the upcoming phone to be showcased, providing audiences with real-world creator experiences. This is a huge leap from just demos back during MWC earlier in the year.

ARRI is one of the world’s most iconic names in cinema and professional filmmaking technology. The collaboration represents a major milestone in bringing professional cinematic imaging closer to consumers — through AI-powered mobile innovation.

The HONOR Robot Phone’s AI-powered robotic imaging capabilities include film-grade motion control. That’s in a smartphone form factor.

This positions the upcoming device as the next evolution in mobile filmmaking and AI hardware innovation.

Obviously, real-world applications include content creators opting to use the HONOR Robot Phone instead of carrying with them multiple devices, like a compact camera, gimbal stabilizer, and external microphone, to name a few.

This phone is also set to rival the likes of the latest iPhone Pro Max variants, which put premium on allowing users to create cinematic content.

Cinematic capture with motion control

At the heart of the Robot Phone is a self-developed micro motor paired with an ultra-compact 4DoF gimbal system.

The handset is also built around a 200MP sensor integrated into a stabilized gimbal camera system. A three-axis stabilization setup supports smooth motion even in dynamic scenarios.

Moreover, Super Steady Video mode enhances stability during high-movement shooting, while AI Object Tracking allows the device to intelligently follow subjects. AI SpinShot enables 90° and 180° rotational movements, creating fluid, cinematic transitions — even when shooting one-handed.

By combining stabilization, intelligent tracking, and controlled physical motion, HONOR aims to narrow the gap between smartphone video and professional-style storytelling.

What your smartphone color choice reveals about you

Eight colors, eight personalities. Here’s how to pick.

Published

on

Your phone color says more than you think. With the Pixel 11 series, Google’s giving you eight ways to make that statement, and there’s genuinely one for every kind of person.

Hibiscus

You’re never the quiet one in the room. Hibiscus doesn’t ask for attention; it just takes it, and if that sounds like you, you’re probably not planning to start hiding now. This is the pick for anyone who’d rather stand out than blend in.

Pistachio

You’re the one who remembers everyone’s coffee order. Pistachio is soft and easy; the one whom people gravitate toward without quite knowing why. It doesn’t try hard to be liked. It just is.

Frost

You like things a little too organized. Frost means clean lines and a clear head, the color equivalent of a camera roll with zero mess in it. If your notes app has color-coded folders, this one’s calling your name.

Obsidian

You let the work speak for itself. No flash needed, because when you show up, the room adjusts anyway. Obsidian is the classic choice, the one that’s never trying too hard because it doesn’t have to.

Canyon

You’re the one who suggests the sunset drive. Canyon is warm and a little restless, always chasing golden hour whether or not anyone else is up for it. Available on the Pro and Pro XL, it’s built for people who treat every evening like it might be a good one.

Olive

You’re outdoorsy, but you’ll still show up looking put together. Olive is low-key and grounded, the one who doesn’t try too hard because it’s already comfortable in its own skin. Another Pro and Pro XL exclusive.

Fog

You’re hard to read, and you like it that way. Fog is understated on purpose, a Pro and Pro XL colorway for anyone who’d rather keep people guessing.

So, which one’s you?

Eight colors, three phones, one very personal decision. Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, and Pixel 11 Pro XL goes on sale starting August 20 — with Pistachio, Hibiscus, Frost, and Obsidian on the base model; and Canyon, Fog, Olive, and Obsidian on the Pro line.

Which one’s calling your name?

Pixel 11 Pro Fold brings an improved foldable experience

Google’s most durable yet

Published

on

Today, Google launched three different flavors of the Pixel 11 series. If three levels of flatness aren’t enough, the series has a fourth option for you: a new and improved Pixel 11 Pro Fold.

Like the rest of the series, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold is lighter than its predecessor. It’s almost 10 percent lighter and around 1mm thinner than the Pixel 10 Pro Fold.

For a foldable, it’s also Google’s most durable. The foldable has the new scratch-resistant Super Actua display, touting 3600nits of brightness. Plus, the rear has a new glass fiber composite back cover, which Google says is “nearly impossible to crack.” It also has IP68 dust and water resistance.

Inside, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold comes with the new Tensor G6 chipset paired with 16GB of RAM.

For cameras, the foldable has the new 48-megapixel main sensor and a telephoto lens that touts up to 30x Super Zoom. The camera bar then comes in a smaller format on the top left corner of the rear.

Much like the regular phones, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold comes with the new HiLight feature, a notification dot that lights up (and can be customized) whenever notifications pop up.

Finally, the foldable has faster wired charging, promising half of the battery’s capacity in only 30 minutes of charging time. It’s also 20 percent faster with 25W Qi2.2 wireless charging built inside.

The Pixel 11 Pro Fold comes in two colorway options: Obsidian and Olive. It hits shelves in August 20.
