Japanese electronics maker Sharp is soon to roll out walking and dancing smartphones, which can also make people make a call, send e-mails, use apps, according to Newsweek.
The new smartphone sheds the idea of conventional flat smartphone designs and comes with a new humanoid robot design.
The tech company said at a press briefing that the new phone would cost $1,800, which is double price of the highest specification of Apple's iPhone6, Newsweek reported. However, this robot phone is able to make a conversation, hail an Uber taxi and sense a user's cry.
Robohon can also project photos and films using the projector installed in its forehead, take photographs, play music and identify people through facial recognition.
Developed by roboticist Tomotaka Takahashi, the two-inch screen of the back of the phone has Android lollipop 5.0 mobile operating system, which allows 3G, Wi-Fi and LTE Internet.
Takahashi is the developer, who sent his robot Kirobo to the International Space Station for the first time.
Newsweek said Sharp plans to have marketing activities, calling Robohon as "smartphone moving heart," with the aim that the device can serve well as a smartphone, personal secretary and friend.
Robohon is set to be rolled out on May 26 and the company hasn't decided whether it would sell the device in other markets apart from Japan.
