The ZTE sub-brand just started teasing its upcoming flagship, boldly calling it the world’s first AI agent smartphone. It’s set to make its official debut at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC 2026) in Shanghai from July 17 to 20.
In a series of fresh Weibo teasers, Nubia revealed the phone’s complete design. It comes in four different finishes: black, light pink, silver, and blue. The “nubia” logo is positioned right in the middle. The pill-shaped horizontal camera module houses thee lenses in total, and ads a clean, modern vibe.
But the real story here isn’t just the looks. Nubia’s President, Ni Fei, announced that the company has finished filing for a large-scale AI agent model. This phone is supposed to be the first device to fully integrate that advanced AI system, letting users hand off complex tasks with real confidence. It’s also packing ByteDance’s Doubao mobile assistant to deliver what they’re calling a true “agentic” experience.
That means the AI won’t just answer questions or write text for you, it should actually understand natural language and handle multi-step tasks across different apps on its own. We’re talking system-level intelligence that can take real actions on the device, which feels like a big step up from the usual AI features we’ve seen so far.
While we don’t have full specs yet, Nubia is positioning this as a proper flagship headed for mass production, not just some concept device.
WAIC 2026 kicking off in just a few hours, and the hype is building fast. The company might have integrated a genuinely capable AI agent with its flagship this time.
