HONOR CEO Highlights Revolutionary Robotic Phone Innovation at MWC 2026

On March 4, at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2026, James Li, the CEO of HONOR, delivered a compelling keynote address, focusing on the future of artificial intelligence (AI) and its capacity to augment human potential. Li's speech captivated the audience and outlined how AI can enhance decision-making and creativity while placing humanity at the core of technological advancements.

Li expressed, "We believe the essence of AI must remain human-centered. Our aim is to equip intelligence with both IQ and EQ, empowering it to solve problems while understanding human emotions. This approach will assist us in navigating a rapidly evolving world, experiencing each moment with joy, love, and wisdom."

HONOR’s presentation was punctuated by the unveiling of its robotic phone, a testament to the company's ambitious vision—Augmented Human Intelligence (AHI). The innovative device has already earned recognition, winning the Best Breakthrough Innovation in Devices award from Global Mobile (GLOMO) at MWC 2026 for its pioneering implementation of silicon-carbon battery technology.

The HONOR Magic V6, equipped with an impressive 25% silicon content, showcases a leading-edge energy density within a sleek foldable design. Additionally, the company introduced its next-generation HONOR Silicon-carbon Blade Battery, featuring a remarkable 32% silicon content and over 900 Wh/l capacity, indicating substantial advancements in ultra-thin, high-energy battery technology.

In a broader context, various global institutions awarded HONOR's product lineup, including the robotic phone and models like the HONOR Magic V6, HONOR MagicPad4, and HONOR MagicBook Pro 14, with the title of Best on Show at MWC 2026. Many media representatives and analysts commended HONOR's human-centric innovations, seamlessly blending robotics, AI, and mobile communication technologies.

The robotic phone is the epitome of HONOR's vision for AHI, aiming to position humanity at the forefront of the AI revolution, advocating for technologies that enhance rather than replace human creativity and capabilities. This futuristic vision necessitates the collaboration of three forms of intelligence: personal intelligence, represented by the AI assistant in users' devices; universal intelligence, the collective knowledge pool of humanity; and edge intelligence, encompassing robots and electric vehicles that act as modern extensions or 'eyes and hands' for users in the physical realm.

Reflecting on the capabilities of the robotic phone, Li stated, "It exemplifies how these three intelligence components can integrate seamlessly, enabling anyone to become a professional filmmaker by merging AI with creative expression, unlocking a new realm of self-expression. This makes content creation not only effortless but significantly more exciting."

During his address, James Li extended an open invitation for collaboration across the industry to develop a robust ecosystem centered on AI-driven devices. "We aspire to be a great company working alongside the most brilliant minds. Together, we aim to forge a remarkable future for AI!" he declared.

From the robotic phone to the latest innovations in foldable devices, tablets, and computers, HONOR welcomes global media and MWC attendees to visit its booth in Hall 3 and witness firsthand the future of smart devices.
