The company is teasing the new &#8220;robot phone&#8221; as a way to showcase its growing artificial intelligence capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While other phone makers are cramming more and more cameras into their devices, Honor is taking a completely different approach. The pop-out camera arm could offer some interesting new angles and possibilities for taking photos and videos, but it also raises some obvious concerns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A moving, mechanical part is a prime spot for something to break, and it could also add to the phone&#8217;s manufacturing cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This isn&#8217;t the first time Honor has played with unconventional designs. The company has previously released an incredibly thin foldable phone and a laptop with a detachable webcam. The idea of a pop-up camera isn&#8217;t entirely new; OnePlus had a similar concept a few years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Honor hasn&#8217;t shared many details about the new phone yet, but the company says it&#8217;s part of a massive $10 billion investment in AI over the next five years. We&#8217;ll likely learn more about this strange and interesting new device at next year&#8217;s Mobile World Congress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Points Smartphone maker Honor is working on a new phone with a very unusual design: a camera that sits on a pop-out mechanical arm.&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27031","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-product"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/techgolly.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27031","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/techgolly.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/techgolly.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techgolly.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techgolly.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27031"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/techgolly.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27031\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/techgolly.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27031"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techgolly.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27031"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techgolly.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27031"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
