ByteDance Joins ZTE to Test Granting AI System-Lv Control of Phones: Report
02 Dec 2025 09:18
ByteDance has finally given its answer to the long-rumored "Doubao Phone", according to Chinese media reports.

On December 1, the Doubao team at ByteDance released a technical preview of the Doubao Phone Assistant, which is not a self-developed smartphone but a system-level assistant created through deep collaboration with phone manufacturers, enabling AI to operate a phone just like a human.

Unlike Apple (AAPL.US), Samsung (005930.KS), and XIAOMI-W (01810.HK), which are advancing AI-native strategies based on their own hardware and operating systems, ByteDance has chosen a path toward a partnership model between "phone maker + large model developer", an approach bringing large models down to the device level, allowing them to participate in phone operations in a perceptible way.

Specifically, the Doubao Phone Assistant, according to ByteDance, is an AI assistant software built on the Doubao app, developed in collaboration with phone manufacturers at the operating system level. Leveraging the capabilities of the Doubao large model and the authorization of phone makers, the Doubao Phone Assistant can operate a smartphone like a human, handling a wide range of complex tasks.

At this stage, developers and tech enthusiasts can experience the technical preview version of the Doubao Phone Assistant on the engineering prototype nubia M153 jointly developed by Doubao and ZTE. The limited release is currently available to developers and tech enthusiasts at a price of RMB3,499.
