[Byte Doubao AI Smartphone Filing Blocked, New Device Launch May Be Delayed to Q3] According to Blue Whale Finance citing insider sources, the next-generation Doubao AI smartphone jointly developed by ByteDance and ZTE has encountered obstacles in the filing process for large models and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's network access certification. The initial application was not approved, and the second application remains in the filing stage, with the earliest launch expected in July or August. On the supply chain front, the new device's screen supplier has been switched from Tianma Microelectronics to BOE, the battery will be provided by Desay Battery using ATL cells, and the entire device will be manufactured by Zhongnuo Communications, a subsidiary of Furi Electronics. The report highlights that the device follows a "large model deeply embedded in the operating system, cross-application intelligent agent" approach. However, the system-level AI Agent faces data permission restrictions from platforms like Tencent and Alibaba, reflecting the common bottleneck in ecosystem openness for current AI smartphones.
