At the 83rd Venice International Film Festival, HONOR presented its portable cinematic devices, including world’s first Robot Phone, as the Official Imaging Strategic Partner of the International Promotion Program for Chinese-Language Films.
Co-engineered with ARRI, the HONOR Robot Phone has drawn widespread attention at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival for its innovative mechanical gimbal design and professional-grade cinematic imaging capabilities, showcasing new possibilities for mobile filmmaking.
Meanwhile, HONOR’s partnership with ARRI will also extend to its flagship Magic series. During the Venice Film Festival, the HONOR Magic9 Pro Max made its first debut. It can be seen from its unique moss green back that the camera module features the ARRI logo, and the lens layout follows the design language of one of the most iconic ARRI cinema cameras.
HONOR–ARRI Cinematic Imaging Partnership Makes Professional Filmmaking More Accessible
Selected elements of ARRI’s renowned Image Science and professional cinema workflow have been adapted for use in a smartphone, giving creators greater flexibility during production while preserving creative control throughout post-production.
By bringing elements of a professional filmmaking workflow to a pocket-sized device, the partnership aims to make cinematic creation more accessible without compromising creative freedom.
For creators, ARRI LogC3 preserves more highlight and shadow information for post-production, while ARRI Wide Gamut 3 provides a broader color space and ARRI Looks offer controlled cinematic color styles.
Through the partnership, the HONOR Robot Phone brings ARRI LogC3, ARRI Wide Gamut 3 and ARRI Looks together on a single device, supporting an integrated mobile capture-to-post-production workflow.
