New Flagship with Doubao Mobile Assistant Crosses Compliance Threshold, Phones Start Doing Things for People
The Nubia NaviX Ultra, recognized as the world’s first AI agent smartphone, has secured its Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) network access license, finalizing all regulatory steps from large model filing to terminal approval. Scheduled for a September 2026 launch, this second-generation flagship—powered by the Doubao mobile assistant—signals the industry’s shift from concept testing to mass commercialization of AI-driven devices.

Unlike conventional AI phones that treat artificial intelligence as a standalone app or peripheral feature, the Nubia NaviX Ultra embeds the large model agent directly into the operating system’s core, transforming it into a fundamental system engine. This architecture enables cross-application screen analysis and simulated user interactions.
By issuing simple natural language commands, such as “find the cheapest flight for tomorrow,” users can delegate complex tasks to the AI. The system autonomously handles cross-app searches, price comparisons, and form filling, requiring user confirmation only at the final payment step. This evolution shifts the interaction model from “users operating the phone” to “AI executing tasks on behalf of users.” Furthermore, all memory processing and computations occur locally on the device, ensuring that no data is uploaded to the cloud and effectively protecting user privacy.
Industry analysts note that amidst a surge of new smartphone releases in September, Nubia’s collaboration with ByteDance’s Doubao demonstrates a strategic integration of software and hardware. By establishing early compliance and engineering advantages in the AI agent market, this partnership is poised to accelerate the systematic redesign of mobile human-computer interaction experiences.
