Honor to debut humanoid robot and ‘robot phone’ at MWC26

Honor plans to show its first humanoid robot at a product launch on 1 March, the day before MWC26 Barcelona opens. The Huawei spin-off calls the move into humanoid robotics a major step and claims it is the first smartphone maker to enter this segment, a space already explored by specialist firms and rivals such as Xiaomi, whose CyberOne is not yet widely sold.

Honor has released few technical details about what it describes as an “embodied AI humanoid robot.” The same event will also feature a ‘robot phone’ moving from concept to commercial product. Promotional material shows a regular-looking smartphone with a mechanical arm on the back holding a camera that can move across a wide range to capture video from different angles.
