Nubia has officially unveiled the NaviX Ultra, a smartphone that the company claims is the world’s first AI agent phone. The device was showcased ahead of the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in China, following initial teasers from the company last week.
The main highlight of the NaviX Ultra is its AI-focused software, which will run on Doubao, ByteDance's AI assistant. This integration positions the NaviX Ultra as a phone built around AI agent capabilities rather than just having a few AI features added to a regular smartphone.
Design-wise, the NaviX Ultra features a triple rear camera setup placed inside a wide camera bar, similar to Google’s Pixel phones. The device will be offered in four color options: Blue Horizon, Black, Dreamscape, and White. However, details such as display size, chipset, camera sensors, battery capacity, charging speed, or software update policy have not yet been disclosed.
In a significant recognition for the NaviX Ultra’s AI capabilities, the device has received the 2026 SAIL Award, also known as the Super AI Leader Award, ahead of its wider unveiling. Reports suggest that it was awarded this honor before the phone's official launch.
Nubia is expected to provide more detailed information about the NaviX Ultra in the coming days. For now, the company has only shared the design, AI assistant integration, color options, and award recognition. Full hardware details, pricing, and launch markets remain unconfirmed.
The NaviX Ultra’s claim of being the world's first AI agent phone is currently based on its software and AI assistant capabilities. However, without further specifications, it remains to be seen how these features will translate into practical user experiences.
