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

To replace the Robot Phone’s 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).

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.
