The world's first AI agent smartphone, nubia NaviX Ultra, is scheduled to launch on September 16.

Insight Beating AI News: Nubia’s NaviX Ultra is scheduled to launch at 14:00 on September 16. The smartphone comes with Doubao Mobile Assistant, which Nubia dubs "the world’s first AI agent smartphone". Unlike last year’s limited-run M153 prototype, this is an officially mass-produced flagship. Its core selling point is AI directly executing operations on the user’s behalf. The official outlines its capabilities as "understands speech, gets things done, remembers, and is secure" – users can voice tasks to have the phone complete multiple operational steps automatically. The NaviX Ultra has completed relevant large model filing and obtained network access approval from China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) on September 1. Another key update from the M153: as previously reported by LatePost, the new device will adjust its collaboration model with major apps like Alibaba and Tencent. Instead of forcing app operations via screen reading and click simulation, it will integrate only after apps proactively open interfaces. This resolves a critical barrier that Doubao Mobile Assistant had to overcome to achieve large-scale commercial use. Pre-orders for the new product are now open; specific hardware specs, pricing, and launch details will be announced at the launch event.
