At MWC 2026, HONOR advanced its Augmented Human Intelligence (AHI) vision while accelerating its ALPHA PLAN strategy through three connected pillars: Alpha Phone, Alpha Store, and Alpha Lab. These initiatives reflect HONOR’s long-term commitment to developing human-centric artificial intelligence that integrates intelligent hardware and software around real human needs.
During the event, HONOR presented a preview of Robot Phone, an ambitious concept that explores embodied intelligence and introduces a new species of smartphone designed to integrate motion, spatial awareness, and expressive interaction.
Alongside this futuristic concept, the company unveiled HONOR Magic V6, its most advanced foldable smartphone yet. The device combines silicon-carbon battery technology, advanced display engineering, and AI-enhanced productivity features in a refined foldable design.
HONOR also expanded its AI ecosystem with the introduction of HONOR MagicPad 4 and HONOR MagicBook Pro 14, reinforcing the brand’s roadmap toward connected intelligent devices that enhance everyday experiences.
James Li, CEO of HONOR, said: “With Human-centric as our lighthouse, we navigate the growth of AI through the two beams of IQ and EQ, bringing three forms of intelligence together. We are exploring the new paradigm of AI devices with Alpha Phone; hosting the new paradigm of AI ecosystem with Alpha Store; and building the new paradigm of a silicon-carbon civilization with Alpha Lab. With three waves of the Alpha Plan, we now have all the components in place and we are driving this journey at full warp speed.”
Take a Sneak Peek at the HONOR Robot Phone: A New Species of Smartphone
Robot Phone represents a new approach to smartphone design, combining embodied AI interaction with robot-grade motion and cinematic imaging capabilities. Instead of relying only on screens and voice commands, the concept introduces physical motion and camera movement as part of the user interaction experience.
HONOR is figuratively giving its next generation of devices both intelligence and mobility. The Robot Phone integrates AI with expressive motion and dynamic camera control, enabling devices to adjust their perspective in real time and respond more naturally to users.
Through multimodal perception, the device can identify sounds, track movement, and maintain visual awareness. This creates a more intuitive interaction model that brings technology closer to human-like communication.
Robot Phone also introduces embodied AI interaction designed to feel expressive and lifelike. It supports all-angle AI video calling that follows the user through robot-grade motion control. The device can respond with emotional body language such as nodding or shaking its head and can even move rhythmically to music.
To make this possible, HONOR redesigned smartphone engineering at a microscopic level. The company developed a compact micro motor that enables an ultra-compact four degrees of freedom gimbal system to fit inside the device. This design creates the hardware foundation for robot-grade motion control.
The mechanical architecture supports a three-axis gimbal stabilization system that ensures smooth motion even in dynamic environments. Super Steady Video mode enhances stability in high-movement situations, while AI Object Tracking allows the device to intelligently follow subjects in real time.
AI SpinShot introduces additional creative flexibility by enabling intelligent 90-degree and 180-degree camera rotations for cinematic transitions even when recording with one hand.
Robot Phone is built around a 200MP sensor and a stabilized gimbal camera system. With intelligent tracking, stabilization, and cinematic camera movement, the device is designed to help users move beyond simple moment capture and toward storytelling through video.
These capabilities highlight how embodied AI may enable new forms of interaction and creative expression. Robot Phone represents a key step in HONOR’s exploration of more adaptive and intelligent mobile technology.
HONOR Magic V6: A New Foldable Benchmark
While Robot Phone explores future possibilities, HONOR Magic V6 represents the latest advancement in foldable smartphone engineering. The device combines durability, performance, and intelligent productivity within an ultra-thin foldable design.
Magic V6 features an ultra-thin 8.75mm closed profile supported by reinforced structural integrity and an advanced hinge architecture designed for long-term reliability. It is rated IP68 and IP69 for water and dust resistance, enhancing its durability in everyday environments.
Within this slim form factor, HONOR integrates its next-generation silicon-carbon battery technology developed in partnership with ATL. Magic V6 incorporates HONOR’s fifth-generation silicon-carbon material to address the challenge of balancing thin design with high energy density.
This innovation enables the device to achieve an industry-first silicon content of 25 percent while housing a 6,660mAh battery within one of the thinnest foldables available. The result is improved endurance without sacrificing portability.
At MWC 2026, HONOR also demonstrated the new HONOR Silicon-carbon Blade Battery, which features 32 percent silicon content and more than 900 Wh/L energy density. This innovation aims to enable foldable smartphones to reach the 7000mAh battery era.
Magic V6 also introduces advanced display innovation. The device features dual flagship LTPO 2.0 displays measuring 6.52 inches externally and 7.95 inches when unfolded. Both screens support adaptive refresh rates from 1 to 120Hz and peak brightness levels of up to 6,000 nits and 5,000 nits respectively for HDR content.
The inner display incorporates ultra-thin flexible glass with SGS Minimized Crease Certification and a 44 percent reduction in crease depth compared to the previous generation. A silicon nitride based anti reflection layer reduces reflectivity to as low as 1.5 percent, while 4320Hz PWM dimming and AI Defocus Display improve viewing comfort during prolonged use.
When unfolded, Magic V6 enables AI-enhanced multitasking and productivity features that support content creation, communication, and cross-device workflows. Cross-ecosystem tools also allow the device to work alongside Apple’s ecosystem.
Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor and supported by advanced vapor chamber cooling, Magic V6 delivers strong performance for gaming, multitasking, and demanding applications.
HONOR AI Ecosystem: MagicPad 4 and MagicBook Pro 14
HONOR also expanded its ecosystem with the introduction of MagicPad 4 and MagicBook Pro 14, strengthening the company’s portfolio of AI-powered devices.
HONOR MagicPad 4 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 mobile platform and features an ultra-slim 4.8mm tablet design. Its 12.3-inch 3K OLED display supports a 165Hz refresh rate, offering a smooth visual experience for productivity and content creation.
The tablet includes AI-enhanced multitasking tools designed to improve workflow efficiency. Cross-device collaboration features allow seamless interaction with smartphones and multi-platform environments, including Apple’s ecosystem.
The device also includes a Linux Lab option within Developer Options, allowing users to deploy and run the OpenClaw AI assistant on HONOR MagicPad 4. This feature opens opportunities for additional productivity tools and development scenarios.
HONOR MagicBook Pro 14 expands the company’s AI laptop portfolio. Powered by Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors, the laptop is designed for creative tasks, sustained workloads, and everyday productivity.
It features a color accurate 14.6-inch OLED display, intelligent performance management, and strong battery performance in an ultra-light design focused on portability.
Advancing Intelligent Devices and Robots for the AI Era
During the launch event, HONOR also introduced its first humanoid robot. This move signals the company’s intention to expand beyond smartphones and leverage its expertise in mobile technology to develop consumer-grade robotics.
HONOR’s robots are designed to support three main scenarios including shopping assistance, workplace inspections, and supportive companionship.
Unlike traditional robotics companies, HONOR combines robotics with its deep understanding of users developed through years of smartphone innovation. This ecosystem continuity enables embodied AI devices to recognize users, understand their needs, and provide personalized physical assistance from the first interaction.
Together, Robot Phone, humanoid robots, HONOR Magic V6, MagicPad 4, and MagicBook Pro 14 demonstrate how HONOR is extending its Augmented Human Intelligence vision across both digital and physical experiences.
