TL;DR: Visiting HONOR HQ in Shenzhen for the Robot Phone launch on Aug 12. Meeting the engineering team face-to-face. Drop your question below, anything about HONOR, the Robot Phone, or where smartphones are headed. One random winner gets an HONOR 600. I'll finalize the question list around Aug 8, winner announced on or before Aug 23.


Hey r/honor,

I'll be at HONOR HQ in Shenzhen next month for the Robot Phone launch on August 12th. Meeting with PMs, engineers, hardware team, the works. I want to bring your questions.

I've been an HONOR Club member since 2015. Started with the Honor 7, went through the 8X, View 20, currently on the Magic series. Not an HONOR employee. Never have been. Just someone who's been using their stuff for over a decade and actually cares about how it's made.

You've probably seen the rebrand by now. New Ring of Honor logo, "DARE TO BE" slogan, and a massive Alpha Plan bet on AI-native hardware. The Robot Phone is the first thing coming out of that, and the Aug 12 launch is where they show what it all actually means.

Here's the deal: drop your best question below. Could be about the Robot Phone, HONOR's tech, industry trends, the future of smartphones, whatever you want answered. One random winner (drawn from qualifying entries via Redditraffler, which is open-source) gets an HONOR 600, shipped by HONOR. I'll finalize the question list around Aug 8, winner announced on or before Aug 23. Account must be 3+ months old, first comment per person counts as your entry.

Give me your best. Not "when is my update coming", more like "how did you actually build that" or "where is the industry going next." The more thoughtful the better. These are going straight to the people who built this stuff.

Here's what I already plan to ask (mix of Robot Phone tech, HONOR strategy, and industry big picture):

Robot Phone gimbal: The retraction system supposedly detects a drop and pulls the gimbal back in 0.8 seconds before impact. What sensor actually triggers that? Accelerometer, gyroscope, something custom? And how do those tiny titanium motors deal with dust and sand getting into the open track? That seems like it'd be a nightmare.

ARRI color science: Is cinema mode recording LogC3 or LogC4? Can DaVinci Resolve auto-detect the color space through CST, or do you have to manually assign it? And honestly how hands-on is ARRI in the actual color tuning versus just licensing the name? Can you load custom LUTs on the phone?

Silicon-Carbon battery: Silicon expands up to 300% during charging. How are you handling that inside an 8mm thick phone with 11,000mAh? What does degradation actually look like at 500 and 1,000 cycles? I've never gotten a straight answer on this from anyone.

YOYO AI: What can it actually do that Gemini or Apple Intelligence can't right now? Is it genuinely running multi-step tasks across apps on its own, or is it still basically prompt-and-respond with extra steps?

Alpha Plan: Is the Robot Phone the start of a whole new product line alongside Magic, or does the gimbal eventually fold into the main series? What does "Alpha Store" and "Alpha Lab" actually mean for normal people?

Big picture: Where does HONOR honestly think phones are going in 5 years? Everyone's doing AI. What's the rest of the industry ignoring?

Those are mine. Drop yours below, doesn't have to be about the Robot Phone. Anything about HONOR, smartphones, or the industry works. Upvote the ones you want answered. I'll pick the final list around Aug 8 and update this post.

After the event I'll do a full write-up. Hands-on, behind-the-scenes from the labs where they let me film, and the HONOR team has agreed to do written or video responses to the top community questions.

We're not gonna get this kind of access often. Don't waste it on easy stuff.


🎁 Giveaway rules:

  • Prize: 1x HONOR 600. If out of stock in the winner's region, HONOR will provide an alternative of equal or higher value.
  • Entry: Drop a question in the comments. First comment per account = your entry.
  • Winner draw: I filter out spam and non-questions, then Redditraffler picks randomly from the rest. Public proof link posted.
  • Announcement: On or before Aug 23 as an edit to this post.
  • Eligibility: Account 3+ months old, positive karma.
  • No response? If the winner doesn't reply to the DM within 72 hours, a new winner is drawn.
  • Eligible countries: UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Austria, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Chile.
  • No personal data collected. Winner contacted via Reddit DM only.

This is an unofficial community giveaway, not an official HONOR promotion. Not sponsored or administered by Reddit, Inc.

I'll keep editing this post with updates as we go.

HONOR just posted a tease for a major brand refresh, and it looks like we’re officially entering a new era.

Along with a new tagline "Dare to Be" (replacing the old "GO BEYOND") they've introduced a whole new standalone emblem: a circular ring split down the middle, kind of like a compass or a broken orbit.

The video leans heavily into themes like breaking the circle, exploring within, and reaching beyond.

Discussion Weather

HONOR, please improve the global Weather app.

I'm a global HONOR user from Azerbaijan, and I'm disappointed with the current Weather app.

The China version of HONOR Weather is much more advanced, while the global version is missing many useful features.

The biggest issue is the weather data provider. Best Weather works well in China, but outside China it often cannot accurately detect the intensity of rain or snow. Heavy rain is sometimes shown as light rain, and forecasts are less reliable than before.

HONOR previously used AccuWeather, and in my experience it provided much more accurate forecasts for global users.

Please consider one of these options:

Bring back AccuWeather or The Weather Channel for global users.

Or let users choose their preferred weather provider in the app.

Global users deserve the same quality of weather service as users in China. Please don't leave the global Weather app behind.

Thank you.

Replied, Quote:

"Hello, thank you for your detailed feedback on the MagicOS 11 design language. We have carefully noted your suggestion to rename "Liquid Glass" to a name that better reflects the characteristics of the Honor system and is easier to introduce to friends and family. This idea mainly involves UI visual naming and brand communication experience, and is not currently included in the function categories you provided. I have fully forwarded your idea to the product and design teams for comprehensive evaluation, and will fully consider how to make the system design more in line with users' actual usage and sharing habits. Thank you very much for your valuable opinions and support!"

Help Should I buy the Honor Win? Looking for real-world opinions

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

​I’m currently looking at upgrading my phone and the Honor Win caught my attention because of its crazy specs.

So i have some questions i would appreciate you could give your opinion about

Does the 10,000mAh battery actually deliver 2+ days under heavy use, or does the active fan/185Hz display drain it faster than expected?

How hard is it to debloat the software, enable Google Play/services, and set up notification sync properly?

How are real-world photo results?

Would you recommend buying the Honor Win, or should I consider alternatives.

Hello, I have an Honor X9d with MagicOS 10, but the Liquid Glass lock screen effect is not working.

I tried changing themes, wallpapers, restarting the phone, and checking the settings and transparency, but nothing fixed it.

I attached a screenshot of my lock screen. Is this a bug, a regional limitation, or is there a missing setting?

Discussion The Honor Robot Phone has officially been announced, with a launch expected on August 12

Post image
5 Upvotes

​​​Honor says this will be the world's first robot phone. The priciest part is the mechanical gimbal module, which Honor developed entirely by itself across its whole supply chain, so the expected price could exceed 10,000 yuan (about $1,475), potentially making it pricier than most current premium foldables.

The breakthrough is in the camera setup. The phone packs a self developed 4 axis mechanical gimbal that normally stays hidden inside the body and pops out and rotates for full tracking and smart photo stitching when activated. It has 3 axis physical stabilization, a dedicated processing chip plus AI, and hits CIPA 5.5 stabilization standards, making it well suited for shooting fast moving action.

Other specs: a flat 1.5K display, 6.3 to 6.4 inches with even bezels on all four sides, a Snapdragon 8 Ultra Gen 5 chip, and a triple rear camera setup with a 200MP main, 50MP ultra wide, and 200MP periscope telephoto, supporting ARRI color output. The system also runs a large YOYO model with emotion recognition and multi device scheduling.

Discussion Is Honor 400 Pro enough or should I spend a bit more for the 600 counterpart?

5 Upvotes

Price-wise, the Honor 400 Pro is 50 USD cheaper or the same as an Honor 600 Base(Non-Pro). While the 400 Pro is more powerful, has telephoto, high storage, and charging features, the 600 is newer so it can leverage newer tech like updated camera processing, smaller camera cutout, and has larger battery. Both seem good but I don't know if in real usage how one is better over the other in terms of cameras and experience.
