Honor to bring humanoid robot to MWC 2026

We knew Honor was about to show off its strange robot phone at this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

What we didn’t know, however, is that the company will also be introducing its first-ever AI-powered humanoid robot at the show.

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

“Something revolutionary is about to emerge from the shadows. We’ve combined cutting-edge robotics with the ultimate mobile experience. The result? Something that has to be seen to be believed,” the company wrote in a tweet.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It may be loading or has been deleted.

The video actually gives us a good look at the robot, which looks exactly like you’d expect: a humanoid dressed 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.

Slightly odd head shape on this one, but we’ll let it slide for now.

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

Other details are scarce, except that the robot will be connected in some way to Honor’s Robot Phone, which will also be presented in Barcelona.

Mashable will be on hand to cover the Honor event in Barcelona, ​​which begins at 7 a.m. ET on March 1, 2026, so stay tuned for more updates on the company’s rapidly expanding robotics product portfolio.
