Robotic camera and artificial intelligence in one device

After months of excitement and leaks, Honor officially unveiled its new phone Honor Robot Phonewhich represents a different trend in the smartphone market, by combining an advanced robotic camera with an artificial intelligence system designed to perform multiple tasks on behalf of the user.

The phone includes a mechanical imaging system integrated into its structure, based on a gimbal made of titanium alloy used in aviation and space applications. Honor says it has succeeded in reducing the size of this mechanism by 65% compared to the traditional gimbal used in standalone cameras.

The weight of the motor responsible for moving the camera does not exceed 2.6 grams, but it can rotate at a speed of up to 360 degrees per second, which allows the camera to track fast-moving objects and respond to sudden movements during filming.

The mechanism consists of more than 100 precise parts, and its development required more than 60 different manufacturing processes. The company says that it has registered more than 100 patents related to this technology.

Three cameras with a resolution of up to 200 megapixels

The phone relies on a triple imaging system, led by a 200-megapixel main camera mounted on the gimbal, along with a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera with a viewing angle of 122 degrees.

It also includes a 200-megapixel periscope camera, with the possibility of optical zoom up to 2.7 times.

To develop photography capabilities, Honor provided the phone with a dedicated image processing chip called Driving Light H1In addition to its cooperation with the Cinema Camera Manufacturing Company ARRI To provide a set of professional video shooting tools.

The phone supports encoding ARRI LogC3 And color grading files LUTas well as an advantage ARRI Look Which allows you to apply cinematic color effects with one click.

As for the situation ARRI Cinema ModeIt provides more advanced tools, including false color detection, out-of-focus highlighting, and multiple image aspect ratio options for cinematography.

YOYO Pro.. artificial intelligence that carries out tasks

Phone innovations are not limited to photography, as Honor offers a system YOYO Pro For artificial intelligence, which the company says can perform more than 100 consecutive steps from a single command.

Honor cooperated with Alibaba to benefit from the artificial intelligence model Qwen Developing a system dedicated to mobile devices.

The company seeks to present YOYO Pro as a smart assistant that goes beyond the traditional functions of voice assistants, as it can understand the context of phone use, learn from the user’s habits and surrounding environment, in addition to interacting with and carrying out tasks.

Honor places these capabilities within the concept of “Embodied Intelligence,” which aims to make artificial intelligence capable of not only providing information, but also interacting with the real world and performing actions on behalf of the user.

A special store for artificial intelligence skills

The phone also comes with YOYO Skills Storewhich allows users to easily add new skills to the AI system.

Honor says that developers and content makers can take advantage of more than 100 software resources within the system to create new functions and skills for the phone.

Relatively small screen and powerful specifications

Come Honor Robot Phone Flat screen type LTPO It measures 6.31 inches and has a resolution of 2640 x 1216 pixels, with a maximum brightness of up to 6800 lumens, and a reflective layer of the type AR.

The phone works with a processor Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 From Qualcomm, with options of up to 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of internal storage.

It also includes four microphones supported by an algorithm to determine the direction of sound, allowing the sound capture to be directed according to the direction of view of the camera.

High weight versus mechanical design

Adding the robotic camera system and internal components brought the phone’s weight to 248 grams, which is relatively high compared to many modern smartphones.

However, Honor says that the phone’s engineering design enabled it to integrate these components, along with the large battery, into a body that is only 9.59 mm thick.
