Device maker Honor has revealed that one of its upcoming smartphones will offer an unusual design choice. As many manufacturers push for more numerous and powerful cameras in their products, the Chinese company will put the camera on a pop-out mechanical arm for its new phone. According to CNBCThe design of this so-called “robot phone” is intended to showcase Honor’s AI capabilities as the company invests $10 billion in artificial intelligence over the next five years. Honor hasn’t shared much about the product, but there will likely be more details at next year’s Mobile World Congress.
