Honor has confirmed more details about its Robot Phone this week, including an official launch date on the same day as Google’s Pixel 11 launch.
In a press release this week, Honor touts “AiMAGE” and its ARRI partnership as bolstering the camera experience on the upcoming Robot Phone, but it was at an event in China that Honor provided some technical specs.
As highlighted by NotebookCheck, the Honor Robot Phone will pack a total of three rear cameras. The main 200MP sensor in the gimbal/robot arm has a 1/1.28-inch sensor at f/1.6 while the other two cameras are fixed into the body of the device. One is a 50MP ultrawide, while the other is a 200MP periscope telephoto shooter. Honor is also using a custom imaging chip, the Honor Yuguang H1 as shared on Weibo.
The cameras support professional editing features, as Honor explains:
Through its Strategic Technology Cooperation with ARRI, HONOR is integrating selected elements of professional cinema workflow into mobile imaging. This includes ARRI LogC3, ARRI Wide Gamut 3 and ARRI Looks, bringing a more professional color and workflow foundation to the HONOR Robot Phone.
Unlike simple filters, LogC3 and Looks are part of a professional imaging workflow. LogC3 is designed to preserve more brightness and color information for post-production, while ARRI Wide Gamut 3 provides a broader color space and ARRI Looks help creators apply controlled cinematic styles. Together, these technologies support a workflow that gives creators greater flexibility from capture to editing, while helping mobile footage retain more creative information.
Honor has confirmed that Robot Phone will officially debut on August 12, the same day Google will be launching the Pixel 11 series. It’s not like Honor is worried about the competition, though, seeing as Robot Phone isn’t set to launch on the global stage just yet.
The company also just introduced a logo refresh as it has “entered the next phase as an AI terminal ecosystem company.”
