Honor’s upcoming Robot Phone has passed certification with China’s 3C regulator, confirming support for 120W fast charging ahead of its expected August debut. The device appears in the database under model number APH-AN00.
According to earlier reports, the handset is set to become the first smartphone with a robotic camera that can reposition itself using a movable module. Its standout feature is expected to be a robotic camera system with three-axis stabilization and a four-degrees-of-freedom (4DoF) design.
That setup would allow the camera to rotate, tilt, and extend, while also supporting AI-assisted pan, tilt, and zoom (PTZ) functions.

Leaks also suggest the phone will use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, built on a 3 nm process. Preliminary information says the chip delivers roughly 20% higher CPU performance, 37% faster AI task processing, and 35% better power efficiency than its predecessor.
The rumored camera hardware is equally aggressive. Sources say the Honor Robot Phone could be the company’s first smartphone with two 200-megapixel cameras, and it may also include color reproduction technologies developed jointly with ARRI.
If those details hold, Honor’s August launch will be less about charging speed than whether a movable camera module can make a real case for itself in a flagship phone.
