Currently, searching for this phone on the Xianyu platform shows that most sellers are pricing it above the release price of 3,499 yuan, with brand new, unopened phones quoted at 7,999 to 9,999 yuan, resulting in a maximum premium of over 6,500 yuan.

According to reports, the Doubao phone assistant is not an independent phone product, but rather an AI assistant software developed in collaboration with mobile phone manufacturers at the operating system level based on the Doubao App.

The collaborative engineering prototype is led by Doubao for product definition and user experience of the AI phone assistant, while Nubia, a subsidiary of ZTE, is responsible for hardware engineering and technical research and development.

The device features a 6.78-inch screen and is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform. The version with "16GB RAM and 512GB storage" is priced at 3,499 yuan and is primarily sold in limited quantities to developers and tech enthusiasts.

In addition, the device can directly wake Doubao at the system level through voice commands, or use the AI button on the side of the phone, headphones, to interact with Doubao.

For example, users can ask questions directly about the content displayed on the screen; deeply integrate multimodal generative models with the phone's native photo album to intelligently remove unrelated people or objects from photos; install multiple apps with a single command; query the logistics progress of all shopping apps with one click; and perform cross-platform price comparisons and place orders, etc.

It is worth noting that ByteDance has stated that it is advancing cooperation plans for phone assistants with multiple mobile phone manufacturers, with the only officially disclosed partner being ZTE. This suggests that there may be future collaborations with more mobile phone manufacturers and Doubao.
