ZTE says the Nubia NaviX Ultra will replace the usual app-first model with an “AI agent smartphone” centered on its Doubao assistant, though it has not detailed the device’s AI functions.
1 orange AI button stands out on the metal frame, alongside volume and power keys, signaling the handset’s focus on direct AI access rather than conventional app navigation.
4 color options—white, pink, blue and black—appear in official images, while the phone also shows slim bezels, a centered punch-hole display and a triple-camera module with an elongated flash.
July 17-20 is the next key window: ZTE is expected to disclose software, specifications, pricing and availability at WAIC 2026, leaving open whether the device runs Android and supports standard apps.
