ALSO READ ZTE Nubia Claims Navix Ultra is World's First AI Phone Design and Display The Nubia NaviX Ultra features a 6.78-inch LTPO OLED display with a resolution of 1260 × 2800 pixels. The screen supports an adaptive 1Hz to 144Hz refresh rate, reaches up to 4,500 nits of brightness, and supports DC dimming. The phone measures 7.6mm thick and weighs 208g. It is available in four color options: Black, White, Blue, and Dream Pink. The phone's fingerprint-equipped button also works as a dedicated AI key. A single press opens a prompt window, holding it activates voice commands, and double-pressing starts a video call with the AI so users can show it objects or surroundings through the phone's cameras. Internals and Software The NaviX Ultra is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. It comes in 12GB + 512GB, 16GB + 512GB, and 16GB + 1TB configurations using LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. The phone runs Android 16 with Nebula AIOS 2 rather than Android 17. Doubao Mobile Assistant The Doubao Mobile Assistant supports deep reasoning, self-correction, extended-context adherence, and generalization. This allows it to break complex requests into smaller tasks, recover when something goes wrong, stay focused during long workflows, and apply knowledge from one app to new situations. Doubao supports text, images, audio, and video. A beta continuous dialogue mode also allows longer conversations for more complicated tasks. For long-running tasks, users can track progress through a widget. The AI can accept additional work while automatically rearranging its task queue, and users can also manually prioritize important tasks. The assistant works with third-party apps and can call APIs from online services. Supported examples include Lark, CaoCao Mobility, mapping apps, and online music services. It can also handle incoming calls using response scripts, transcribe voice notes, search screenshots, and recognize products displayed on the screen. Cameras The NaviX Ultra has a triple-camera system on the back. The main camera uses a 50MP 1/1.4-inch sensor paired with an f/1.6 lens and optical image stabilization. A 64MP 3x periscope telephoto camera joins it with OIS and DCG HDR. The third camera is a 50MP ultra-wide with a 115-degree field of view, f/2.0 aperture, and autofocus. For selfies and video calls, the phone has a 32MP front camera. Battery and Pricing The Nubia NaviX Ultra packs a 7,100mAh battery. It supports 90W wired charging, 50W wireless charging, and reverse wireless charging. The 12GB + 512GB model costs approximately $895.
