back then, it was seen as something of a concept device. Now, though, it has an official release window.

Honor has announced that the Robot Phone will launch in Q3 of this year (likely in China first), so sometime between July and September, and
alongside this announcement, the company has taken the phone to Cannes China Night, to show off its potential for filmmaking on a phone.

Unlike a normal smartphone, the Honor Robot Phone has an AI-powered camera attached to a gimbal. The camera can stick out the top of the phone and
rotate independently of the rest of the handset, so it could be a versatile filmmaking tool. Latest Videos From You may like This rugged Android phone

robot-grade motion control being shown off at Cannes, along with AI Object Tracking and AI SpinShot, which allow the camera to follow subjects and carry out fluid rotational movements. @techradar

in business since 1917.

So it sounds like the Honor Robot Phone could be a highly capable device when it comes to AI-backed filmmaking, but that also sounds like quite a niche proposition and given the design of this phone, it was always likely to be somewhat niche regardless.

It will be interesting to see, then, whether it can also attract buyers who arent interested in being the next Spielberg. We should find out in just a matter of months.
