Phone-Maker Honor Will Unveil Its First Humanoid Robot Next Week

Honor will debut its first AI-powered humanoid service robot designed to assist with tasks like shopping, alongside new devices, at Mobile World Congress 2026.

  • At Mobile World Congress, Honor will unveil its first humanoid service robot on Sunday March 1, after announcing the reveal via a teaser video posted on X and YouTube.
  • As part of an AI push, Honor is shifting toward robotics, linking its Robot Phone concept to create a unified mobile and robotics experience as part of its AI-focused strategy.
  • The video emphasizes design elements like the matte black finish, glass face and light-bar eyes, and a single forehead camera, but there is no official release date.
  • Given past bot demo mishaps, Honor hopes the MWC presentation will clarify if the robot is a working prototype or concept, with outlets including CNET covering the event.
  • Regionally, a U.S. release looks unlikely for Honor’s humanoid robot, despite IDC reporting 508% year-on-year growth in 2025, as Honor’s $10 billion AI investment aims for early regional advantage.
