Weekly poll: would you buy the Honor Robot Phone and why?

After months of teasers and red carpet events, the Honor Robot Phone is finally official and it is now available in stores – only in China, but you didn’t want one anyway, right? Wait, did you? The robot-like arm that acts as the gimbal on this device (and gives it its name) feels like the end-stage of popup-camera evolution. It provides stabilization on the move and, if you put the phone on a tripod, it does object tracking better than any phone out there. And yes, it can even look forward for selfies and vlog-style videos. Honor Robot Phone's gimbal in action This teeny, tiny...

Weekly poll results: a clear favorite emerges from the Google Pixel 11 family

Last week, we asked you which Pixel 11 model you would buy and now the results are in. The sentiment is trending towards negative with price being a common reason for skipping the 11 series. Looking at the overall poll, many just aren’t interested in any Pixel 11 model. But those that do want one are mostly leaning towards the Pixel 11 Pro – it almost got more votes than the vanilla and the Pro XL models put together. Almost. The Pro XL is a distant second, while the pricey foldable barely got any love. Focusing in on the Google Pixel 11 Pro, it received the biggest proportion of...

Here's how much you'll pay if you break the Honor Robot Phone's gimbal camera

Honor's Robot Phone was finally made official last week after many months of teasers and showcases. It's definitely a unique device, with its integrated gimbal camera, even if it's not actually a robot. That gimbal camera, though, contains a lot of moving parts, so if you drop the phone while it's out, you might damage it. In that case, you will have to pay a whopping CNY 3,079 ($457) to replace it. The number comes from Honor's official website in China, where it just published its repair prices for the Robot Phone. Replacing the telephoto camera will cost CNY 879 ($130), while the...
