Recently, Nubia announced the NaviX Ultra smartphone in China, and is touted as the world’s first AI-agent smartphone with on-device AI processing. While it was showcased at the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference, the brand hasn’t confirmed its specifications yet. Now, reliable tipster Bald Panda has released a Weibo post to reveal the core specs of the device.

Nubia NaviX Ultra leak reveals flagship hardware

According to the tipster, the Nubia NaviX Ultra will feature a 6.78-inch flat display with a 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. The screen is said to have a centred punch-hole cutout, symmetrical bezels on all four sides, and could offer the slimmest bezels on any Nubia smartphone so far.

It is tipped to run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset and pack a 7,100mAh battery, making it one of the larger battery capacities expected on a premium flagship.

The camera setup is also expected to be a major highlight. The leak claims the phone will feature three 50-megapixel rear cameras, likely covering primary, ultra-wide and telephoto shooting. A 50-megapixel front-facing camera is also said to be part of the package. In terms of design, the device is expected to arrive in blue, pink, black and white colour options with a horizontal runway-style camera module on the rear.

The NaviX Ultra also has a dedicated orange AI button on the side. It is designed around four key pillars, understanding natural language, completing real-world tasks, remembering user context and keeping data secure. It is based on a system-level GUI Agent architecture that can recognise on-screen content and interact directly with supported apps through MCP and A2A protocols instead of mimicking taps and gestures.

The AI assistant is expected to chain together actions across multiple applications, allowing users to complete multi-step tasks with simple voice or text commands. The tipster also claims Nubia is preparing the NaviX Ultra for large-scale commercial availability, although the company is yet to announce an official launch date.

The post Nubia NavIX Ultra AI-agent phone has Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, 7,100mAh battery, triple 50MP cameras, and more appeared first on Gizmochina.

Nubia has officially launched the NaviX Ultra, which it says is the world’s first AI-agent smartphone, ignoring the fact that a Chinese firm already beat it to the punch.

The company unveiled the device at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) in Shanghai after it got buzz from its teaser reveal just days earlier and its original WAIC announcement.

The NaviX Ultra runs on the Doubao mobile assistant. Ni Fei, Senior Vice President of ZTE Corporation and President of Nubia, told CLS News Agency that Doubao brings strong large-model and intelligent-agent capabilities, while Nubia contributes deep experience in hardware, software, and product engineering. He noted that the journey from the M153 to the NaviX Ultra marks a complete cycle of technology testing and product refinement between the two companies.

Nubia NaviX Ultra Specifications

Nubia will sell the phone in four colors: Blue, Dream, Obsidian Black, and Snowfield. The Dream color has a matching pink finish across the entire body, including the rear camera housing. 

The camera housing itself breaks from convention too. Instead of the circular camera island most rivals use, Nubia is using a horizontal strip design on the back that holds a triple-camera system, including a periscope telephoto lens. Up front, it has a single centered punch-hole camera inside a flat screen with even bezels on all four sides.

The side frame houses a dedicated orange AI button that launches the smart assistant instantly. Nubia built the phone around four goals: understanding, functionality, retention, and security. It can understand natural language across many situations and complete multi-step tasks — like comparing prices, placing orders, or planning trips — by working across different apps on its own. Nubia says all major AI processing happens directly on the device rather than in the cloud, which, paired with official generative AI registration credentials, helps lower the risk of leaked user data.

Nubia has not yet announced pricing or a release date.
