Honor Robot Phone Camera System

However, the camera system is the phone’s biggest highlight. It features a 200-megapixel primary camera with a 1/1.28-inch sensor, f/1.6 aperture and 23mm-equivalent focal length. The sensor is mounted on a three-axis mechanical gimbal that can physically rotate and track subjects.

The setup also includes a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera with 2.7x optical zoom and up to 200x digital zoom, along with a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera offering a 122-degree field of view. The front camera is a 50-megapixel sensor with a 90-degree field of view.

The robotic camera can automatically follow a subject while recording, allowing users to capture hands-free videos without a tripod. It supports up to 4K video recording at 120fps using the rear cameras, while the front camera supports 4K at 60fps. Honor has partnered with ARRI for the device’s camera technology.
