According to reports, Honor will officially launch its first humanoid robot during the 2026 Mobile World Congress (MWC). This product is mainly aimed at consumer markets such as household services, intelligent companionship, and daily assistants, marking a key step in Honor's transition from a smartphone manufacturer to a globally leading AI terminal ecosystem company.

To support this strategy, Honor established a new industry incubation department as early as April 2025, including five laboratories covering embodied intelligence, powertrain, bionic body, and more, and plans to invest $10 billion over the next five years. It is reported that Honor's robot development has already made breakthroughs in bionic joints and balance algorithms, with a previously disclosed running speed of 4m/s, surpassing the record set by Boston Dynamics' Atlas.

Currently, embodied intelligence has become a core competition field for smartphone manufacturers to explore their "second growth curve". In addition to Honor, Xiaomi has launched two generations of CyberDog products, and vivo has also established an independent robot LAB center. IDC analysis suggests that smartphone manufacturers have natural advantages in AI perception, user experience, and supply chain integration, but still require long-term investment in underlying technologies such as motion control and mechatronics.

Although embodied intelligence is currently in a boom, the entire industry still faces the challenge of large-scale commercialization. Honor's entry into this field is not only a move to secure future market positions, but also a comprehensive verification of its capability to transition from "mobile terminals" to "embodied intelligence".
