When the camera is folded in, it works like the main camera of a traditional smartphone. With the press of a button, the camera can be folded out, which apparently offer several advantages. For instance, it’s possible to take selfies with the main camera, which should provide higher quality pictures compared to the front-facing camera. On the other hand, the camera arm is motorized and equipped with a gimbal, which allows for well-stabilized video recordings.
Together with AI, the Honor Robot Phone is also intended to become a camera operator by automatically aiming the camera at a person, regardless of whether the smartphone is placed on the ground or in a chest pocket. Furthermore, the star tracking feature can align the camera with the stars for sharper long-exposure shots of the night sky. More technical details should be unveiled at MWC 2026.
