Honor Robot Phone: the smartphone with a robotic camera tortured by JerryRigEverything

Cute as it may be with its unprecedented robotic camera module, the Honor Robot Phone smartphone did not escape YouTuber Zack Nelson’s sadistic ritual on his famous JerryRigEverything channel. Flames, blade strikes and forced twists, the videographer tested the device’s durability and its articulated arm under the worst conditions.

Usage warning for those who do not yet know Zack Nelson from the JerryRigEverything YouTube channel, this video shows a brand-new Honor Robot Phone smartphone undergoing the worst possible abuse. The videographer is indeed a specialist in extreme durability tests applied to electronic gadgets, with the mission of concretely verifying manufacturers’ promises regarding the durability of their devices.

200 MP motorized gimbal put to the test

Pure sadism, then, especially since this device is so cute, standing out for its retractable 200 MP lens that deploys at the top of a robotic arm, a small gimbal with four degrees of mobility and three axes of stabilization.

Honor Robot Phone, sand in the gears

If the smartphone itself withstood the usual attacks, cutter blows, attempts at unnatural bending and even direct contact from a lighter flame on its screens, Zack also took care of the robotic arm, notably by generously sprinkling it with sand.

Result: obviously impaired operation, and not quite restored, even after cleaning the camera with compressed air. Hard to bear for sensitive souls, then, even if the video also has the advantage of showing the device’s innards in order to admire the technological genius behind its operation.

Commercial release date and indicative price of the Honor Robot Phone still unknown in France.
