PrimeBOT Q1 and T1: Prices, Differences and EU Availability

PrimeBOT Q1 and T1 were announced in China from CNY 19,999. These are launch prices reported on 20 September 2026, not verified offers including delivery to the EU. This 13 October update separates the historical price list, advertised capabilities and the purchasing terms that a seller still needs to confirm.

PrimeBOT Q1 and T1 prices: four announced versions

IT Home reports both Q1 prices, while ifanr reports all four versions. These press reports document the launch; they are not a current checkout. We do not convert the figures into an apparent euro retail price: a cross-border purchase needs separate confirmation of the offer, delivery and all applicable charges.

Q1 versus T1: start with the intended task

In its pre-IFA announcement, PrimeBOT described Q1 as a programmable, 88 cm robot with 22 degrees of freedom. It described T1 as switching between humanoid and quadrupedal forms, with following and filming capabilities. Source: PrimeBOT’s release through PR Newswire. These are manufacturer claims, without an independent RoboMorrow hardware test.

For programming and education, ask to see the actual development environment and documentation for the version being sold. For following or camera work, prepare a movement scenario and ask which environmental conditions it requires. A promotional video does not establish how much preparation is needed to reproduce the task.

Questions for comparing versions — editorial checklist
ComparisonEvidence to request
Q1 versus Q1 ExplorerDifferences in programming access, documentation, interfaces and support. Request a sample project running on the offered version.
T1 versus T1 ProThe exact hardware specification and a list separating currently available functions from planned updates.
Base versus complete packageAn inventory of accessories, charging equipment, consumables, software and any service fees.
Chinese version versus EU offerSupported account countries, languages, documentation, servicing and feature availability where you will use it.

Have deliveries started?

The 20 September ifeng report included a plan for shipments from 1 October in order sequence. Passing that date does not prove fulfilment of an individual order. We have not verified a test delivery to Poland or current EU stock.

The earlier October delivery wording should therefore be understood as a launch announcement. Before paying, request a date for your exact version, the identity of the contracting seller and the means of confirming dispatch. If an offer only says “coming soon”, do not translate that into the arrival date needed for an event or course.

Buying in the EU: what needs to be clear?

The sources checked for this update did not establish a complete Polish retail offer with a final price, delivery date and local servicing. This is a verification limit, not a claim that European sales are impossible. An IFA demonstration does not replace country-specific sales terms.

  1. Identify the exact version and included equipment. Keep the quotation and specification that apply to your purchase.
  2. Request the total payable amount and who handles each delivery-related charge. Do not budget solely from the Chinese launch price.
  3. Confirm that the app, account and required services work in your country, and check the language of the documentation.
  4. Agree the repair location, parts availability, service turnaround and transport costs.
  5. Request safety and conformity documentation for the actual version and destination market. Do not assume paperwork for another model covers your unit.
  6. Record acceptance, return and fault-resolution arrangements if an agreed function does not work.

A pre-purchase trial: one useful task

Choose a short task that reflects your purpose: running your program, presenting a movement sequence or following a planned route in controlled conditions. Agree safeguards, permitted surroundings and the stop procedure with the demonstrator. Record preparation time, interventions and whether repeated attempts give consistent results.

A school or business should allow time for commissioning, supervising sessions, preparing materials and handling faults alongside the hardware budget. A private buyer may value straightforward setup and support more highly. The phrase “personal robot” by itself does not establish an ability to complete household chores.
