HONOR revealed new innovations at MWC 2026 that highlight its growing push into AI-powered devices. The company showcased its Augmented Human Intelligence (AHI) vision and continued development of its ALPHA PLAN, which focuses on building smarter, human-centered technology.
The strategy revolves around three connected pillars: Alpha Phone, Alpha Store, and Alpha Lab. These aim to create a new generation of intelligent devices and services that work together to improve everyday experiences.
Among the biggest highlights were the futuristic Robot Phone, the flagship HONOR Magic V6 foldable, and two new ecosystem devices — the HONOR MagicPad 4 tablet and MagicBook Pro 14 laptop.
HONOR Robot Phone
One of the most interesting concepts revealed was the HONOR Robot Phone, which explores a new type of smartphone that combines AI with physical movement. Unlike traditional smartphones that respond through screens or voice commands, Robot Phone adds robot-grade motion and expressive interaction.
It can follow users during AI video calls, respond with gestures like nodding or shaking its head, and even dance to music. The device uses multimodal perception, allowing it to recognize sounds, track movement, and maintain visual awareness for more natural interaction.
To make this possible, HONOR designed a compact micro motor system that powers an ultra-compact 4DoF gimbal module inside the phone. This allows the device to physically move while maintaining stability.
The camera system also plays a major role. Robot Phone features a 200MP sensor paired with a gimbal camera system designed for cinematic video capture.
Key camera features include:
Super Steady Video for stable recordings during movement
AI Object Tracking that follows subjects automatically
AI SpinShot that supports intelligent 90° and 180° rotations for smoother video transitions

These features allow users to capture videos with smoother motion and more creative camera angles. Robot Phone serves as a preview of how embodied AI devices could change the way people interact with smartphones in the future.
HONOR Magic V6
Alongside the Robot Phone, HONOR also introduced the HONOR Magic V6, its latest flagship foldable built for slim design, durability, and strong performance. It features an ultra-thin 8.75mm folded profile, making it one of the slimmest foldable available.

Despite its thin build, the Magic V6 uses reinforced materials and improved hinge engineering for better long-term durability. It also carries IP68 and IP69 ratings for water and dust resistance, adding extra protection for everyday use.
The device runs on HONOR’s next-generation silicon-carbon battery technology, developed with ATL. It packs a 6,660mAh battery with 25% silicon content, allowing higher energy density while maintaining the slim foldable design. HONOR also showcased its upcoming Silicon-carbon Blade Battery with 32% silicon content and over 900Wh/L energy density, a technology designed to push future foldable toward 7,000mAh batteries without increasing thickness.
For the display, the Magic V6 features dual LTPO 2.0 screens — a 6.52-inch outer display and a 7.95-inch inner display when unfolded. Both support adaptive 1–120Hz refresh rates for smoother visuals and improved efficiency. Brightness reaches up to 6,000 nits on the outer screen and 5,000 nits on the inner display for HDR content, ensuring clear viewing even in bright environments.
HONOR also improved the foldable display durability. The inner panel uses ultra-thin flexible glass and carries SGS Minimized Crease Certification, with the crease depth reduced by 44% compared to the previous generation. Additional display technologies include 4320Hz PWM dimming for eye comfort, AI Defocus Display to reduce eye strain, and a silicon nitride anti-reflection coating that lowers reflectivity to as little as 1.5%.
Powering the device is the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with advanced vapor chamber cooling to maintain smooth performance during gaming, multitasking, and demanding tasks. With its large unfolded display, the Magic V6 also supports AI-powered productivity tools for multitasking, content creation, and communication, along with cross-ecosystem compatibility, allowing it to work alongside other platforms, including Apple’s ecosystem.
MagicPad 4 and MagicBook Pro 14
HONOR also introduced the MagicPad 4 and MagicBook Pro 14, expanding its lineup of AI-powered ecosystem devices. The HONOR MagicPad 4 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 mobile platform and features an ultra-thin 4.8mm body. It comes with a 12.3-inch 3K OLED display with a 165Hz refresh rate, delivering smooth visuals for productivity and entertainment.

The tablet also supports AI-powered multitasking tools and cross-device collaboration with smartphones and other devices. HONOR also revealed that developers can run the OpenClaw AI assistant through the Linux Lab feature in Developer Options, opening new possibilities for productivity tools.
The MagicBook Pro 14 expands HONOR’s AI laptop lineup with Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors. It features a 14.6-inch OLED display with accurate colors, making it suitable for creative tasks and professional work.
The laptop is designed for portability and efficiency, combining strong battery performance, intelligent performance management, and a lightweight design.
HONOR First Humanoid Robot
During the event, HONOR also unveiled its first humanoid robot, marking the company’s move into the growing field of consumer robotics. The robot is designed to support several real-world scenarios, including shopping assistance, workplace inspections, and supportive companionship.
