HONOR Robot Phone puts a motorized 4-DoF gimbal inside a flagship Android phone. Its 200MP main camera can physically move to stabilize shots, track subjects, follow you on calls, and shoot autonomously, with ARRI LogC3 and Looks built into the imaging workflow.
Putting a literal mechanical gimbal inside a phone is a crazy structural idea. We thought about this almost a decade ago when making handheld gimbals for smartphones, but it never got much further than the thought.
But today, HONOR actually did it!
They fit a 4-DoF titanium gimbal system into a 9.6mm phone body. The main camera physically moves to stabilize and track subjects, can pull off 90° and 180° spin shots, and even moves like a little head in YOYO Robot Mode.
Once a camera can move on its own, the gimbal stops being just a stabilization tool. It gives the phone a tiny bit of a body.
And somehow they fit all of this into a phone you can actually buy.
