The future has never looked this cute!
A smartphone that doubles up as a robot has been unveiled, named “RoBoHon”. The 19.5cm (7.7in) droid can make and take calls, dance, respond to its owner’s voice, and beam videos out of its face.
Sure, the iPhone 6S/iPhone 6S Plus is godlike to some, but you can treat it like your little robot BFF.
It comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 SoC, has 3G, LTE, and Wi-Fi. For when voice commands can’t get the job done, the Sharp RoBoHoN has a tiny 2-inch display with a resolution of 240 by 320 pixels.
Apparently, RoBoHon can also send e-mails, take photos (like a normal smartphone), recognise your face, and even act as your personal assistant. The big plus is that it knows how to dress up 😉
While it’s really cute and innovative and all that jazz, we can’t say for sure if it’s really practical. Watch the video below:

RoBoHon is being built by Sharp, but there’s no price tag on it yet. What we do know is that you can expect to see it go on sale in early 2016.
