Visitors to this year’s Africa Tech Festival are in for a glimpse of the future as HONOR, the global smart device brand, brings an extraordinary line-up of intelligent products to its exhibition stand – a curated experience inspired by its world-class HONOR Alpha flagship store in Shenzhen, China.

The Alpha store represents the pinnacle of HONOR’s design and innovation ecosystem, offering an immersive environment where technology and creativity converge. From smart wearables and AI-powered devices to futuristic instruments, the store has become a hub of inspiration – and at Africa Tech Festival, attendees will witness a snapshot of that ingenuity firsthand.

Among the standout displays is the HONOR Robot Phone, a remarkable concept device that merges mobile technology with robotics to create a dynamic, interactive companion capable of movement, gestures and facial expressions. Designed to push the boundaries of human-device interaction, this innovation embodies HONOR’s vision for a more intuitive and emotionally responsive tech experience. 

Festival goers will also be able to engage with a variety of AI-enhanced smart products that blend practicality, creativity and entertainment. These include the Smart Ring series – lightweight, ultra-durable rings that track health metrics such as heart rate, oxygen levels, sleep and even ECG readings, while enabling remote photography and app connectivity. HONOR will showcase three variants, each highlighting different display technologies including E-Ink, LCD and ECG-based monitoring.
