Nubia officially announces: The world’s first AI smartphone will debut next week

Kuai Technology reported on July 9 that Nubia officially announced today that the world’s first AI smartphone phone will make its debut and will be announced at the WAIC 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference. At the same time, some details of the back of the new phone were also revealed, which adopts a blue back panel + silver straight edge design. By raising the curve, you can see that the rear camera adopts a horizontal bar scheme similar to the iPhone Air. Official details have not yet been announced, but it is not expected to be a concept product like a bean bag phone, but a mass-produced model that can be launched. At the "AI and Future Growth" luncheon of the World Economic Forum's 17th Annual Meeting of New Leaders held in June this year, ZTE Chairman Fang Rong revealed that ZTE's new generation of AI mobile phones will be launched in the near future. This is an important step for ZTE to push its intelligent capabilities from the cloud to the device side. It will provide an interactive experience that "can understand and work", thus driving the growth potential of the entire terminal ecosystem. Different from traditional mobile phones with built-in independent voice assistants and AI tool APPs, Nubia's new phone is equipped with a proprietary AI intelligent engine from the bottom of Android. It has system-level simulated touch operation permissions, can recognize complex continuous commands, and autonomously complete a set of coherent operations across multiple apps without the need for users to manually operate the screen step by step. Users only need to voice their needs, and AI can automatically complete the entire process of clicking, sliding, typing, switching applications, etc., realizing a truly one-stop automatic processing of office, social, and life-related complex tasks. As early as December last year, Nubia teamed up with Doubao Model to launch the first-generation AI engineering mobile phone. The limited release sold out quickly, and the secondary market price was significantly higher. This mass-produced model has completed the large-scale implementation of the technology, which may solve the adaptation and permission restrictions problems of the first-generation model.
