Honor to bring humanoid robot to MWC 2026

We knew that Honor is about to bring its oddball Robot Phone to this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

What we didn’t know, however, that the company is also bringing its first-ever AI-powered humanoid robot to the show.

Honor announced the news on Monday via a teaser video on X, featuring both the Robot Phone and its robotic camera, and the unnamed humanoid robot.

“Something revolutionary is about to step out of the shadows. We’ve combined cutting-edge robotics with the ultimate mobile experience. The result? Something you have to see to believe,” the company wrote in a tweet.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

The video actually gives us a decent glimpse of the robot, which looks just like you’d expect: a humanoid clad in matte black with a glass face, and a light bar where its eyes should be (the robot also appears to have a single camera on its forehead). In another image (below), sent to Mashable by Honor, the robot is seen from the side.

Honor shared some details about the upcoming robot with Bloomberg. Apparently, the robot will be a “service robot” which should be able to help you out with shopping, among other tasks.

Other details are scarce, except that the robot will somehow be connected with Honor’s Robot Phone, which will also be shown in Barcelona.

Mashable will be there to cover Honor’s event in Barcelona, which kicks off at 7 a.m. ET on March 1, 2026, so stay tuned for more updates on the company’s fast-expanding robotics portfolio of products.
