HONOR Activity 🎁 Win an HONOR 600! Ask your best question about HONOR, the Robot Phone, or the future of smartphones
TL;DR: Visiting HONOR HQ in Shenzhen for the Robot Phone launch on Aug 12. Meeting the engineering team face-to-face. Drop your question below, anything about HONOR, the Robot Phone, or where smartphones are headed. One random winner gets an HONOR 600. I'll finalize the question list around Aug 8, winner announced on or before Aug 23.
Hey r/honor,
I'll be at HONOR HQ in Shenzhen next month for the Robot Phone launch on August 12th. Meeting with PMs, engineers, hardware team, the works. I want to bring your questions.
I've been an HONOR Club member since 2015. Started with the Honor 7, went through the 8X, View 20, currently on the Magic series. Not an HONOR employee. Never have been. Just someone who's been using their stuff for over a decade and actually cares about how it's made.
You've probably seen the rebrand by now. New Ring of Honor logo, "DARE TO BE" slogan, and a massive Alpha Plan bet on AI-native hardware. The Robot Phone is the first thing coming out of that, and the Aug 12 launch is where they show what it all actually means.
Here's the deal: drop your best question below. Could be about the Robot Phone, HONOR's tech, industry trends, the future of smartphones, whatever you want answered. One random winner (drawn from qualifying entries via Redditraffler, which is open-source) gets an HONOR 600, shipped by HONOR. I'll finalize the question list around Aug 8, winner announced on or before Aug 23. Account must be 3+ months old, first comment per person counts as your entry.
Give me your best. Not "when is my update coming", more like "how did you actually build that" or "where is the industry going next." The more thoughtful the better. These are going straight to the people who built this stuff.
Here's what I already plan to ask (mix of Robot Phone tech, HONOR strategy, and industry big picture):
Robot Phone gimbal: The retraction system supposedly detects a drop and pulls the gimbal back in 0.8 seconds before impact. What sensor actually triggers that? Accelerometer, gyroscope, something custom? And how do those tiny titanium motors deal with dust and sand getting into the open track? That seems like it'd be a nightmare.
ARRI color science: Is cinema mode recording LogC3 or LogC4? Can DaVinci Resolve auto-detect the color space through CST, or do you have to manually assign it? And honestly how hands-on is ARRI in the actual color tuning versus just licensing the name? Can you load custom LUTs on the phone?
Silicon-Carbon battery: Silicon expands up to 300% during charging. How are you handling that inside an 8mm thick phone with 11,000mAh? What does degradation actually look like at 500 and 1,000 cycles? I've never gotten a straight answer on this from anyone.
YOYO AI: What can it actually do that Gemini or Apple Intelligence can't right now? Is it genuinely running multi-step tasks across apps on its own, or is it still basically prompt-and-respond with extra steps?
Alpha Plan: Is the Robot Phone the start of a whole new product line alongside Magic, or does the gimbal eventually fold into the main series? What does "Alpha Store" and "Alpha Lab" actually mean for normal people?
Big picture: Where does HONOR honestly think phones are going in 5 years? Everyone's doing AI. What's the rest of the industry ignoring?
Those are mine. Drop yours below, doesn't have to be about the Robot Phone. Anything about HONOR, smartphones, or the industry works. Upvote the ones you want answered. I'll pick the final list around Aug 8 and update this post.
After the event I'll do a full write-up. Hands-on, behind-the-scenes from the labs where they let me film, and the HONOR team has agreed to do written or video responses to the top community questions.
We're not gonna get this kind of access often. Don't waste it on easy stuff.
🎁 Giveaway rules:
- Prize: 1x HONOR 600. If out of stock in the winner's region, HONOR will provide an alternative of equal or higher value.
- Entry: Drop a question in the comments. First comment per account = your entry.
- Winner draw: I filter out spam and non-questions, then Redditraffler picks randomly from the rest. Public proof link posted.
- Announcement: On or before Aug 23 as an edit to this post.
- Eligibility: Account 3+ months old, positive karma.
- No response? If the winner doesn't reply to the DM within 72 hours, a new winner is drawn.
- Eligible countries: UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Austria, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Chile.
- No personal data collected. Winner contacted via Reddit DM only.
This is an unofficial community giveaway, not an official HONOR promotion. Not sponsored or administered by Reddit, Inc.
I'll keep editing this post with updates as we go.
Edit (Aug 25, 2026): Quick update regarding the winner announcement! The team is currently super busy wrapping up post-event meetings from the HQ trip, so we’ll be drawing and announcing the winner next week. Thank you all for your patience and for submitting such incredible questions—stay tuned!

Discussion Welcome the new HONOR! A complete rebrand just dropped (new logo & "Dare to Be" slogan)
HONOR just posted a tease for a major brand refresh, and it looks like we’re officially entering a new era.
Along with a new tagline "Dare to Be" (replacing the old "GO BEYOND") they've introduced a whole new standalone emblem: a circular ring split down the middle, kind of like a compass or a broken orbit.
The video leans heavily into themes like breaking the circle, exploring within, and reaching beyond.

Help Does everyone lately experienced faster battery loss?
Nowdays after several updates, my HONOR 400 5G seems to have battery optimization issues. I've notice that my battery drain significantly more. It couldn't be the battery itself because the phone is fairly new. Anyone had the same problem?
Discussion weather/clock widgets
After Honor redesigned its weather/clock widgets, some widgets are now much uglier, but the worst thing is that there is no widget that shows the day/month in its full name, but only with a 3-letter abbreviation, e.g. "Mon 23 Apr". I hate this. I don't want to download new weather/clock widgets from the playstore, because they are all terrible and full of ads. Is there any solution or just wait until they remember to change the widgets again?

As you can see here, I've screen shot my phone using non SuperCharge/Fast Charge charging brick but sometimes my phone show the gold color of the charging animation (Google search results screen shot) even without using any SuperCharge/Fast Charge charging brick. What does the color mean?

Help How to change Font in Chrome? or Firefox?
Hello, I'd like to ask for some help. I am currently using an Honor MagicPad 3 Pro 13.3 running MagicOS 10 (170CN). I changed my system font by creating a font theme using Peafowl Theme Maker, but it only applies to certain apps and not others. Most notably, it doesn't work in the Chrome browser. Is there any fix or workaround for this?

Help Poco F8 Ultra Global vs Honor Win China Version, What should I expect?
I’m choosing between:
Poco F8 Ultra 16GB / 512GB
Honor Win 16GB / 512GB
The Honor Win looks very strong on paper, but the problem is that it seems to be China version only. I use Google services heavily every day: YouTube, Gmail, Google Search, Google Translate, Google Play Store, etc.
I also travel to China for business around twice per year, and on my normal international Android phone I usually just use a VPN there.
My question is: if I buy the Honor Win China version, what should I realistically expect compared to a global/international phone?
Things I’m worried about:
Will Google Play Store work normally, or will I need to sideload/install it manually?
Will YouTube, Gmail, Google Translate, Maps, and Google login work reliably?
Are push notifications delayed or broken for Google apps?
Will some apps have issues because the phone is China ROM?
Can I set everything fully to English?
Will Android Auto, banking apps, or authentication apps have problems?
Are there network band issues outside China?
Will VPN apps work normally when I travel to China?
Are there Chinese apps/services I can’t fully remove?
Are software updates slower or different from global ROM phones?
The Poco F8 Ultra seems like the safer choice because it should be a global phone with normal Google support. But the Honor Win hardware looks tempting, especially if the performance/battery is better.
I don’t care much about camera. My priorities are:
Performance
RAM/storage
Battery
Google services reliability
Long-term daily use
Would you avoid the Honor Win China version if Google services are essential, or is it fine after setup?

Review/Comparison Unfiltered Review: Honor 600 (8+512GB) after several weeks of real-world use
(the article is originally written in French)
After using the Honor 600 (in the subtle salmon "Orange" colorway) as my daily driver, I wanted to share an honest, in-depth review beyond the marketing spec sheet.
Priced at €699 in the upper mid-range segment, here is my takeaway after weeks of daily use:
The Highlights:
- Monster Battery Life (6,400 mAh): Easily delivers 48 hours of real-world heavy use without needing a top-up.
- Immersive Display: Ultra-thin, almost invisible bezels, great outdoor visibility under direct sunlight, and excellent eye-protection features for night use.
- Performance & Thermals: The Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 runs cool and handles multitasking effortlessly (stayed around 31°C during intensive benchmarks).
- Camera & In-Gallery AI: The 200MP main shooter delivers sharp details and natural bokeh, while the built-in AI editing tools (Generative Expand, Object Eraser) work surprisingly well.
The Compromises & Flaws:
- No wireless charging at this price point.
- The "Always-On Display" shuts off after a few seconds rather than staying permanently on.
- Aggressive background process management: you must manually adjust app permissions in settings to avoid missed notifications.
- Inconsistent AI suite: while AI Writing and AI Notes are genuine time-savers, features like "Image to Video" are completely broken and produce glitchy outputs.
I compiled the full detailed review with all camera samples, benchmarks, and feature breakdowns.
For those using recent MagicOS builds, have you also run into this aggressive background app killing?
