Honor Robot Phone is now available in China

Following its announcement last week, Honor opened up the first round of open sales for the Robot Phone in China.

The highly anticipated smartphone with a 200MP gimbal camera is now available from Honor’s official online store and partnering retailers with a starting price of CNY 9,999 for the 12/512GB trim. Based on today’s exchange rates, that amounts to about $1,483 or €1,281. Honor is also offering a 16GB RAM and 1TB storage version for CNY 12,999 ($1,928/€1,666).

Honor confirmed the Robot Phone won't be available for purchase outside its homeland even though last week's event was billed as a “global launch”. It seems likely that this first generation will also have a rather limited supply in China.

It's a real shame though, as the Robot Phone is truly an exciting one. For more details, feel free to check out our Honor Robot phone hands-on review, which goes over our first impressions of the device.
