Honor Robot Phone launches in China with built-in gimbal arm camera

Honor has launched its Robot Phone in China, an Android smartphone featuring a main camera mounted on a compact motorized gimbal arm that unfolds from the device's rear. The design essentially integrates technology similar to a DJI Osmo Pocket into a standard smartphone form factor. Honor claims the gimbal is the smallest of its kind in the world, though it does add noticeable bulk to the handset. Early hands-on testing by The Verge suggests the unusual hybrid approach may actually deliver on its promise, despite initial skepticism about combining the two devices.
