According to reports cited in "Intelligent Emergence," ByteDance officially launched the Doubao Phone Assistant project at the end of last year, with the new device expected to be released in the late second quarter of this year.

Supply chain insiders have revealed that ByteDance has high expectations for the new device, significantly improving upon the first-generation test version. In terms of model, the Doubao 2nd generation phone continues to collaborate with ZTE Nubia, with ZTE (00763.HK) responsible for hardware and Doubao handling AI. It is reported that the Doubao phone team has currently negotiated some commonly used permissions with several internet companies (such as ride-hailing, food delivery, and ticket booking).

In addition, to expand overseas, Doubao Phone has recently negotiated with mobile manufacturers, including Vivo, to promote the integration of the "Doubao Phone Assistant" in their overseas models, although specific details are still under negotiation
