Doubao mobile phones are about to make a comeback, and according to reports, ByteDance has launched the official version of Doubao mobile assistant project by the end of 2025. The new phone is expected to be released in the mid to late Q2 of 2026 Since the last release of the Doubao mobile phone, it has encountered a comprehensive encirclement just one day ago. This time, the cooperation mode has been changed again, greatly improving compared to the first generation beta version. Doubao's second-generation mobile phone still cooperates with ZTE Nubia, where ZTE is responsible for hardware and Doubao is responsible for AI. In addition, Doubao's mobile phone team was negotiating with most mainstream application manufacturers in the past, and has now negotiated some common use rights with some Internet companies (taxi, take away, ticket booking, etc.). For ByteDance, it is already the top tier in China in terms of key elements such as models, talent, computing power, and data. The only thing ByteDance lacks is a hardware entry point for centralized output of these capabilities - and Doubao is a suitable carrier. As an AI application with a DAU of over 100 million, Doubao has accumulated a large amount of Chinese usage data and has a considerable brand effect. When the hardware endgame of the AI era was not yet clear, radical ByteDance decided to invest resources in exploration. In the future, there will be AI glasses and new products of AI second generation and second level on the road.
