Nubia Ni Fei talks about AI smart phones, saying that in the second half, it will move from "functional overlay" to "native smart phones"

IT House reported on July 12 that Ni Fei, President of ZTE’s Terminal Division and President of Nubia Technology Co., Ltd., published a long article talking about AI smart phones. He said that the second half of AI mobile phones will move from "function overlay" to "native intelligence". It is no longer the user who adapts to the logic of the mobile phone, but the mobile phone actively understands people's needs. Ni Fei mentioned that Nubia has explored the four core capabilities of smart phones, including: understanding the most natural expressions, without deliberately adapting to the language, and being able to respond at any time to help you complete the tasks assigned to you; being able to remember your habits and memos, without having to explain them repeatedly, and settling in an orderly manner; and more importantly, security should be used as the underlying foundation, and all capabilities are based on complete privacy protection. According to previous reports from IT House, Ni Fei previously posted that Nubia will launch the world’s first AI smartphone phone. The device is positioned as a mass-produced flagship model and will be publicly displayed for the first time at the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC). In addition, the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference and High-level Conference on Artificial Intelligence Global Governance will be held in Shanghai from July 17 to 20. This conference has set new highs in terms of exhibition scale, number of new products launched, and number of forums. Thousands of exhibiting companies will bring more than 3,000 cutting-edge exhibits, and more than 300 new artificial intelligence products will make their global debut at the conference.
