【#Tech24H】On March 31, ZTE disclosed during its 2025 annual results briefing that it is deepening collaboration with ecosystem partners such as ByteDance to jointly advance the development and deployment of the next-generation Doubao AI Phone. The device deeply integrates the Doubao large language model into the operating system, rather than simply adding application-layer plugins, enabling a transition from "human-operated phones" to "AI-operated phones." The next-generation Doubao AI Phone is expected to be released in the mid-to-late second quarter of 2026, with relevant certifications currently underway.
