ZTE unveils world's first agentic AI smartphone as Chinese makers pivot to AI
ZTE Corp. unveiled the NaviX Ultra, described as the world's first agentic AI smartphone, at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai. The device launches ByteDance's Doubao assistant via voice or a dedicated button and is designed to execute instructions autonomously across multiple applications, using on-device models for low-latency tasks and cloud systems for complex requests. StepFun also introduced an AI smartphone this week, while Honor plans to launch devices later this year with an agent developed with Alibaba. Chinese manufacturers are turning to agentic AI as the global smartphone market faces its steepest-ever annual decline projected for 2026, with budget-focused brands under margin pressure. ZTE's Nubia brand previously sold out an initial 30,000-unit production run of a prototype priced at 3,499 yuan, and IDC expects AI smartphones to account for more than half of China's market in 2026.
Nvidia has begun shipping a small number of H200 chips to China, according to a senior U.S. Commerce Department official. Jeffrey Kessler told lawmakers that exports have started, though only very few chips have been delivered so far. The H200 is one of Nvidia's most powerful AI processors, making the shipments politically sensitive. Some Chinese companies, including a unit of ZTE, have reportedly received approval to buy the chips, while Alibaba, Tencent and ByteDance were among firms previously cleared. The issue has reopened debate in Congress over how the U.S. is enforcing export controls.
StepFun beats Doubao to launch AI agent phone as ByteDance device faces delay
StepFun will beat Doubao to market with the first AI agent phone, seizing an early lead in the AI hardware race. The device runs on StepFun’s self-developed underlying agent system and is manufactured by Huaqin Technology, a company listed on China’s A-share market. The launch event is set for July 13. In contrast, the second-generation Doubao AI phone, jointly developed by ByteDance and ZTE, was originally scheduled for release in the second quarter of this year but has yet to surface. The delay is reportedly due to the dual-filing review process for large language models.
ZTE and GSMA to Co-locate ZTE Global Summit & User Congress and GSMA M360 ASEAN in Kuala Lumpur

The co-located events will bring together global ICT leaders, operators, government officials, analysts, and media for keynotes, panels, new product showcases, and robot performances.
US spectrum auction raises $3.5 billion to fund replacing Chinese telecom equipment
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission announced that an auction of wireless mid-band spectrum raised more than $3.5 billion, with up to $3.3 billion of the proceeds earmarked to cover funds borrowed for the Rip and Replace program that removes Huawei, ZTE, and other Chinese gear from U.S. wireless networks. The FCC had previously estimated the total cost of replacing the Chinese equipment at $4.98 billion, but Congress initially approved only $1.9 billion before authorizing this one-time auction of AWS-3 spectrum. The agency reported last week that 42% of federal funding recipients have completed replacement and disposal of all Chinese equipment, though delays have been caused by permitting, supply chain issues, labor shortages, and severe weather.
