HONOR Advances Its AI Vision at MWC 2026 with Robot Phone

At MWC 2026, HONOR advanced its Augmented Human Intelligence (AHI) vision and accelerated ALPHA PLAN through three connected pillars: Alpha Phone, Alpha Store and Alpha Lab. Building on its long-term commitment to human-centric AI, HONOR offered a preview of Robot Phone, a bold exploration of embodied intelligence and a new species of smartphone that reimagines how future AI devices could integrate motion and spatial awareness.

Robot Phone is a new species of smartphone, combining embodied AI interaction with robot-grade motion and cinematic imaging capabilities. Rather than reacting solely through screens and voice commands, HONOR is, figuratively, giving its next generation of devices not only a brain, but also hands and feet, combining AI with more physical, expressive interaction through motion and camera movement. It goes beyond what a static smartphone can offer, bringing more human, expressive interaction into everyday technology and adjusting its perspective in real time. Multimodal perception means it can identify sounds, track motion and maintain visual awareness, creating a more natural, sensory, and intuitive interaction model.

Robot Phone also introduces embodied AI interaction designed to feel more natural and expressive. It supports all-angle AI video calling that follows the user through robot-grade motion control. It also responds with emotional body language, including expressive nods and head shakes, and can even dance to the beat of music, bringing playful, lifelike interaction to the smartphone experience.

Packing a robot into a smartphone required rethinking space, strength, and weight at a microscopic level. HONOR applied high-performance materials and reliability know-how developed for foldables to Robot Phone engineering, enabling a self-developed micro motor designed for extreme compactness and strength. By significantly reducing motor size, HONOR was able to fit an ultra-compact 4DoF gimbal system into the phone, creating the hardware foundation for robot-grade embodied motion control.

This mechanical architecture supports a three-axis gimbal stabilization system, delivering smooth and precise motion even in dynamic environments. Super Steady Video mode enhances stability in high-movement scenarios, while AI Object Tracking allows Robot Phone to intelligently follow subjects in real time. AI SpinShot further expands creative control, supporting intelligent 90° and 180° rotational movement for fluid, cinematic transitions, even when shooting one-handed.

Built around a 200MP sensor and a stabilized gimbal camera system, Robot Phone is designed to help users move beyond capturing moments and toward capturing life stories. Through stabilization, intelligent tracking, and cinematic-style camera movement, it aims to close the gap between smartphone video and professional-looking storytelling.

Together, these capabilities demonstrate how embodied AI can unlock new forms of capture and interaction, positioning Robot Phone as a defining step in HONOR’s evolution toward more intelligent and adaptive devices. As HONOR continues to advance its ALPHA PLAN, Robot Phone offers a glimpse into how embodied intelligence may shape the next generation of mobile technology.

Razer Announced the Limited-edition release of Razer Boomslang 20th Anniversary Gaming Mouse

Razer today announced its modern take on a gaming legend: the Razer Boomslang 20th Anniversary Edition.  

Launched as the world’s first gaming mouse, the Razer Boomslang did not just change the game – it defined a new era of play. Its distinctive snake-head silhouette became an icon of early gaming. Groundbreaking features such as 2,000 DPI mechanical ball tracking and on-the-fly sensitivity adjustment delivered precision unheard of at the time, setting a new benchmark when competitive PC gaming was still finding its footing. 

Two decades later, that promise lives on. The Boomslang returns in its 20th Anniversary Edition – reborn with cutting-edge technology for today’s gaming era, while honoring the design and spirit that started it all. 

“When we designed the Razer Boomslang, we just wanted to get the unfair advantage in gaming, and that single spark helped ignite the entire multi-billion dollar gaming peripherals industry that we know today,” said Min-Liang Tan, Co-Founder and CEO of Razer. “The Boomslang 20th Anniversary Edition is more than a mouse. It’s a tribute to the community who made this possible and a reaffirmation of our motto that continues to guide everything we do: For Gamers. By Gamers.”   

The Boomslang 20th Anniversary Edition combines heritage design with next-gen engineering to deliver uncompromising performance for today’s competitive gamers: 

• Razer Focus Pro 45K Optical Sensor Gen-2
• Up to 45,000 DPI with 99.8% resolution accuracy, delivering precision that far surpasses the original 2,000 DPI – a leap that defines two decades of progress. 
• Razer HyperPolling Wireless Technology
• True 8,000 Hz wireless polling rate ensures near-instant responsiveness, setting a new benchmark for speed in competitive play. 
• Razer Optical Mouse Switches Gen-4
• Crisp, lightning-fast actuation with a 100-million-click lifespan for enduring reliability. 
• Next-Gen Wireless Charging
• The included Mouse Dock Pro marks a leap from the wired-only days of the original Boomslang to fully wireless charging. Engineered as a perfect companion to the mouse, it carries the same striking translucent design to deliver a unified aesthetic. 
• True Ambidextrous Form with PU Leather Buttons
• The legendary Boomslang silhouette, now enhanced with PU leather-wrapped primary buttons for an exquisite feel and enhanced grip control. Classic ergonomics meet modern refinements, delivering comfort and control for every playstyle. 
• 9-Zone Razer Chroma™ RGB Lighting with Underglow
• The Boomslang’s original translucent glow gets a next-level upgrade with vibrant, customizable RGB underglow. Customize each zone with 16.8 million colors and dynamic effects that sync with over 300 Chroma-integrated games. 
• 8 Programmable Controls
• Complete customization through Razer Synapse, enabling advanced macros and personalized profiles for total control in every scenario. 

Only 1,337 uniquely serialized units of this limited-edition gaming mouse will be available worldwide, reserved exclusively for collectors who demand a piece of gaming heritage. 

Fans are encouraged to revisit their original Boomslang stories and prepare to share them in upcoming Razer community events for a chance to win exclusive commemorative pieces – including a special #1337 unit (a homage to ‘leet’, symbolizing elite status in gaming culture) autographed by Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan. 

As gaming continues to evolve, the Boomslang 20th Anniversary Edition stands as a reminder of where it all began – and a bold signal of where Razer is headed next.
