Nubia has officially launched the NaviX Ultra, which it claims is the world's first AI-agent smartphone.
The device was unveiled at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) in Shanghai.
The NaviX Ultra runs on the Doubao mobile assistant.
Ni Fei, Senior Vice President of ZTE Corporation and President of Nubia, stated that Doubao provides strong large-model and intelligent-agent capabilities while Nubia contributes hardware, software, and product engineering expertise.
Design and Specifications
The phone comes in four colors: Blue, Dream, Obsidian Black, and Snowfield.
The Dream variant features a matching pink finish across the entire body, including the rear camera housing.
The camera housing uses a horizontal strip design instead of the typical circular island. It houses a triple-camera system, including a periscope telephoto lens.
On the front, a single centered punch-hole camera sits inside a flat screen with even bezels.
A dedicated orange AI button on the side frame launches the smart assistant instantly.
AI Capabilities and Privacy
Nubia built the phone around four goals: understanding, functionality, retention, and security.
It can understand natural language across many situations and complete multi-step tasks like comparing prices, placing orders, or planning trips by working across different apps.
The company says all major AI processing happens on the device rather than in the cloud.
This approach, combined with official generative AI registration credentials, helps lower the risk of leaked user data.
Nubia has not yet announced pricing or a release date.
