Honor is invited to the main stage of MWC. CEO Li Jian: We will strive to create a "cool AI future".
On March 4th, Li Jian, the CEO of Honor, was invited to deliver a speech on the main stage of the 2026 Mobile World Congress (MWC). He explained the concept of Augmented Human Intelligence (AHI for short) and how this concept is deeply integrated with Honor's Alpha Strategy. He also introduced the highlights of Honor's Robot Phone in practical applications and stated that Honor is committed to creating a "cool AI future".
It is reported that other Chinese technology brands invited to the MWC main stage this time include China Mobile and Huawei.
Li Jian pointed out in his speech that the reshaping of the world by AI is no longer just a vision but a tangible reality. The intelligent era has arrived. Facing the grand question of "where humanity is headed in the intelligent era", Honor has given its answer - regardless of the level of automation, human pursuit of goals and meaning is the engine of civilization development.
Based on humanistic thinking, Li Jian emphasized, "We firmly believe that the core of artificial intelligence is human - centered. We want AI to have not only IQ but also EQ, not only the wisdom to solve problems but also the warmth to understand human hearts. It should enhance human ability to adapt, evolve and enjoy the present in a rapidly changing world. This is the AHI that Honor believes in."
He pointed out that achieving AHI requires precise collaboration among personal intelligence, global intelligence and edge - end intelligence. Personal intelligence, as people's "digital avatar", is an intelligent entity that "understands you" and resides in portable devices like mobile phones. Global intelligence is the "super - brain" in the cloud that integrates the wisdom of all mankind, providing strong support for people's decision - making. Edge - end intelligence is the "intelligent antenna" that broadens people's perception and action radius, such as robots and electric vehicles. Personal intelligence is responsible for "understanding you", global intelligence for "being knowledgeable", and edge - end intelligence for "taking action". The synergy of the three will endow humans with "unprecedented superpowers".
The Robot Phone, which made a stunning debut at this MWC, integrates two core AI capabilities: embodied intelligent interaction and flagship imaging. It is a breakthrough technological exploration by Honor to transform the AHI concept from theory to practice. The Robot Phone is not only a personal intelligent partner that "understands you" in daily life. Through multi - modal AI interaction experience, it brings global intelligence to users' eyes and empowers users' creative ability with flagship imaging.
Since its debut at the MWC, the Robot Phone has won the "Best in Show" award from several global technology institutions. With its human - centered design concept and the integrated innovation of robotics, AI and mobile communication technologies, it has won wide acclaim from domestic and overseas media and analysts.
At last year's MWC, Honor launched the Alpha Strategy, officially initiating a comprehensive transformation into a globally leading AI terminal ecosystem company. Li Jian summarized in his speech, "We adhere to a human - centered approach, taking IQ and EQ as the driving force for AI evolution and are committed to the synergy among the three types of intelligence. From the Alpha Phone, which explores a new paradigm for AI terminals, to the Alpha Store, which carries a new paradigm for the AI ecosystem, and then to the Alpha Lab, which constructs a new paradigm for silicon - carbon civilization, we have fully integrated the AHI concept into the implementation process of the three - step Alpha Strategy."
The Robot Phone is also the first new species created since the implementation of Honor's Alpha Strategy. It breaks the stereotype of the "boring black square" design of mobile phones and creates a new form of next - generation AI terminal with a sense of vitality. The Robot Phone is equipped with the industry's smallest and lightest micro - motor and the industry's smallest "four - degree - of - freedom" gimbal system. By combining the flexible "body" of the robot with the "brain" of Honor's AI intelligent entity, it presents multi - modal interaction capabilities full of vitality. With its three - axis mechanical anti - shake gimbal camera and 200 - megapixel sensor, it achieves breakthroughs in stability, following and camera movement, bringing an ultimate embodied intelligent imaging experience.
Li Jian pointed out that through bold innovation in terminal form and in - depth integration of AI and imaging, what will be released is not only efficiency but also the infinite possibilities of self - expression for everyone. The Robot Phone will empower every ordinary person to explore movie - level content creation. "Imagine if it can call on the cloud - based large model to learn Nolan - style camera movement techniques; if it can combine your personal knowledge base to string together photos and videos that are meaningful to you into a complete storyboard; if it comes with a gimbal system to help you automatically shoot with camera movement; and if after shooting, it can search for Hans Zimmer - style background music and automatically edit a movie - like blockbuster. Wouldn't creation be easier and more interesting?"
At this MWC, in addition to the globally - watched Robot Phone, Honor also showcased its first embodied intelligent humanoid robot, released the latest folding - screen flagship Magic V6 based on cross - generation leading technology, as well as the latest generation of PCs, tablets and other innovative products, winning wide recognition from the industry and high praise from domestic and overseas media.
Li Jian said that the Robot Phone is just the first step for Honor to unlock the infinite imagination of AI terminals, and the future exploration is endless. "This journey belongs to every explorer who firmly believes that AI should be human - centered. We hope to become a cool company and, together with the coolest people in the world, pursue the boundaries of imagination and jointly create a cool AI future for everyone!" (End)
