Ni Fei, President of ZTE Terminal Business Unit and President of Nubia Technology Co., Ltd., announced today that the Nubia Z80 Ultra will be the first to systematically integrate native OpenClaw, making the phone a true Gateway-type “lobster,” fully supporting ClawBot’s scenario-based applications and the unlimited access capabilities of the Skills ecosystem.
Ni Fei stated that Nubia’s AI phones will adhere to openness and the principle of “AI for All,” avoiding closed-off technology displays and focusing solely on disruptive innovations that truly transform the user experience. He acknowledged that this year will be the year of widespread adoption of agent-enabled phones, with various companies following suit in the autonomous driving space. The future of AI phones is never about going it alone, but about open collaboration and a win-win ecosystem.
According to an earlier announcement, Xiaomi announced that its “Lobster” smart assistant, Xiaomi miclaw, has begun a small-scale closed beta test, supporting voice control of mobile phones and Mi Home devices.
The Nubia Z80 Ultra was released on October 22 last year. It is equipped with a fifth-generation Snapdragon 8 Ultra processor, a 35mm Master Eye main camera (1/1.3-inch large sensor, 50 million pixels, supports DCG dual conversion gain HDR technology), and can be equipped with an exclusive photography kit. The price starts from 4999 yuan.
