ByteDance is set to launch its second-generation Doubao smartphone in mid-to-late Q2 2026, following the initial project launch in late 2025. The new device, developed in collaboration with ZTE’s Nubia brand, aims to exceed the expectations set by the first-generation model. The Doubao team has engaged with major app developers and secured access permissions from various internet companies. Handset manufacturers will need to pay licensing and subscription fees for ByteDance's AI services.
