Sharp’s Android-powered robot phone priced north of $1,800
Japanese manufacturer Sharp has taken the unusual step of launching a small robot that doubles as an Android cellphone. First previewed at last year’s CEATEC trade show, the so-called RoboHon was given an official press launch today, where its retail price of 198,000 yen ($1,814) was finally revealed.
Costing over twice as much as even the most premium Android flagships, RoboHon — currently only for sale in Japan, with foreign launches being explored — aims to compete not on specs, but on a unique set of features not found in other phones that don’t also happen to be small automatons. Running Android Lollipop 5.0 and powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400, the foot-tall bot features just a two-inch, QVGA display on its back, along with a 720p projector embedded in its head.
