Honor’s Robot Phone<\/a> was finally made official<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

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 ultrawide will set you back CNY 199 ($29). The huge delta between the three is due to the gimbal assembly itself, undoubtedly.<\/p>\n

\"Here's<\/p>\n

To replace the Robot Phone\u2019s screen, you’ll shell out CNY 1,379 ($205), while a new battery will cost you CNY 319 ($47). The most expensive thing to replace isn’t even the gimbal camera, it’s the motherboard. For the 12\/512GB version, this costs CNY 4,599 ($684), while for the 16GB\/1TB variant, it’s a whopping CNY 6,599 ($981).<\/p>\n

That’s a lot of money, but keep in mind that the phone itself costs CNY 9,999 ($1,487) with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, and CNY 12,999 ($1,933) with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.<\/p>\n
