Media reported today that ByteDance and ZTE's Nubia would unveil and sell a
"world's first AI agent phone" at the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence
Conference, claiming 80k–100k units in stock and a first batch of 500k units.
Insiders say this is false: the device will be publicly demoed at the
conference, not put on sale, and there are no tens of thousands of units in
inventory.
