At MWC 2026, the World Mobile Communications Conference held in Barcelona, Spain, ZTE officially unveiled the latest achievements of its "AI for All" strategy to the world. Among them, the AI-native phone - Nubia M153, co-developed by ZTE and ByteDance, became one of the most talked-about terminal products at the exhibition.

This phone is not just about hardware; it also represents a strong collaboration between domestic AI ecosystems.

1. Deep Integration with DouBao: "Autonomous Driving" Across Applications

The core soul of Nubia M153 lies in its built-in DouBao Phone Assistant:

Inter-App Command Execution: Unlike traditional voice assistants that can only perform simple conversations, this device achieves deep system-level integration. With just one command, the system can automatically switch between third-party apps. For example: "Please send the last three photos from the album to Manager Zhang in WeChat and book a flight to Shanghai tomorrow."

AI-Native Interaction: Based on the underlying large model capabilities of ByteDance, DouBao can accurately understand complex semantics and safely complete multi-step task decomposition in the background.

2. A New Species of Emotional Companion: The Healing Robot iMoochi

In addition to the phone, ZTE also introduced an emotionally engaging AI product - iMoochi:

Flexible Interaction: iMoochi has a round and cute appearance, and built-in sensors can sense user touch. When you pet it, it will respond with screen expressions, sounds, and body movements.

Emotion Recognition: Through voice interaction, it can identify users' joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness, and provide personalized comfort or entertainment suggestions, aiming to become a "new family member" in the digital age.

3. Performance Beast: Nubia M153 Hardware Specifications

On hardware performance, Nubia M153 is also among the top tier:

Power Core: Equipped with the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite (5th Generation) processor, paired with a 16GB+512GB storage combination.

Strong Battery Life: Built-in a 6000mAh large-capacity battery, supporting 90W wired fast charging and 15W wireless charging, meeting the energy demands of intensive AI operations.

High Definition Imaging: Rear camera with a 50 million pixel main lens, combined with AI imaging algorithms, provides excellent shooting and post-processing experience.
