During the FIFA World Cup 2026 final celebrations, the upcoming Honor Robot Phone was unexpectedly seen in a player's hands. Spain emerged victorious, defeating Argentina 1-0.

This device, rumored for an August release after being showcased in prototype stages since January, features a 6.3" to 6.4" "1.5K" display and is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC. Its camera system includes a 200MP primary sensor with f/1.6 aperture and a gimbal, a 50MP ultrawide, and a 200MP periscope telephoto lens.

The phone is equipped with a 6,000 mAh battery, noted as relatively small for current Chinese smartphones, likely due to the space occupied by the gimbal. Camera capabilities are anticipated to rival the upcoming Magic9 flagship series, suggesting a potentially high price point.
