On July 17, the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference and High-Level Meeting on International Governance of Artificial Intelligence (WAIC) grandly opened in Shanghai. The General Secretary attended the opening ceremony and delivered a keynote speech, emphasizing the need to strengthen technological innovation in artificial intelligence, actively advance the "AI+" initiative, and promote the healthy, safe, and orderly development of AI. The General Secretary proposed adhering to open and win-win cooperation, driving innovative development, laying out future industries, and empowering all sectors with artificial intelligence. Earlier, the Ministry of Commerce and seven other ministries jointly issued the "Implementation Opinions on Accelerating the Development of 'AI + Consumption'," which explicitly supports the R&D and popularization of a new generation of AI-capable smartphones and intelligent terminals.
Empowered by both top-level policy guidance and industrial policies, nubia's world-first AI Agent smartphone — the NaviX Ultra — made a high-profile appearance at the exhibition. Unlike most smartphones that merely feature AI assistants as standalone apps, nubia has embedded the entire AI agent architecture directly into the operating system kernel, granting it full system-level operational permissions and achieving a qualitative leap in intelligent execution capabilities. Paired with its self-developed Co-Claw omniscenario scheduling technology, it completely moves beyond passive response modes, delivering an interactive experience that "understands and gets things done" (enabling two-way interoperability between system-level agents and application-level agents for fully automated execution of user commands).
Ni Fei, President of ZTE Terminal and nubia, explicitly stated: "The second half of AI smartphones will shift from 'feature stacking' to 'native intelligence.' It is no longer about users adapting to the phone's logic, but about the phone proactively understanding human needs, getting things done, and making life easier for users." (Quoted from Weibo @Ni Fei) This marks an important step for ZTE in advancing intelligence from the cloud to the device side.
