[Brother Hany's Take] Column: Hany Blog Review

Brother Hany's Take — Written from the front row of 26 years in trade. This is not a product review; it is a 70s-born trader's read of the AI phone war.

The news dropped this morning and my palms went cold:

Second-gen Doubao phone sales hit ¥100M in one second.

Nubia NaviX Ultra went on sale September 16 — starting at ¥5,999.

Stack that on top of Apple's September 10 event and Huawei's September 7 tri-fold launch —

and the AI phone war is officially live.

1. Second-gen Doubao's "¥100M in One Second"

The numbers

Pricing

Selling points

• ✅ 5th-gen Snapdragon 8 Elite
• ✅ On-device AI compute boost
• ✅ Orange AI physical button (side frame)
• ✅ System-level Agent (AI drives the phone)

---

2. September Phone War — Three Camps

ByteDance + ZTE Nubia

Path: Collaboration + Android + on-device AI

• Nubia NaviX Ultra
• Doubao Phone Assistant
• "AI operates the phone for you" (auto-driving mode)
• Price range: ¥3,499–7,499

Apple

Path: In-house + iOS + Apple Intelligence

• iPhone 18 Pro / Max
• First-ever foldable iPhone
• Date: September 10 launch
• Goal: Defend the AI entry point

Huawei

Path: In-house + HarmonyOS 7 + Da Vinci NPU

• Mate XT 2 (tri-fold)
• 30B total / 2B active params
• MoE multimodal model on device
• Date: September 7 launch

---

3. Doubao's "Long-Range Break" Against Apple

Apple's edge

• ✅ Closed iOS ecosystem
• ✅ Apple Intelligence (Siri upgrade)
• ✅ Premium user base

Doubao's edge

"Long-range break"

Doubao bets on collaboration:

ZTE Nubia (sold Sep 16)

   +

vivo / Lenovo / African-market phone maker (in progress)

   +

Honor (from caution to natural fit)

   ↓

Android camp unified

   ↓

Apple's walled garden hit "at range"

4. Huawei's On-device AI Breakthrough

Mate XT 2 on-device AI

Tech specs:

• Da Vinci architecture NPU
• 30B total parameters
• 2B active parameters
• MoE (Mixture-of-Experts) multimodal on device

System-level Agent capabilities

• ✅ Edit documents via chat
• ✅ Auto-organize photo gallery
• ✅ Cross-device file lookup
• ✅ System-level AI permission

Why it matters

"On-device LLM" = run a large model on the phone itself, no cloud required.

This is the next step for phone AI:

• ✅ Privacy (no upload to cloud)
• ✅ Real-time response (no latency)
• ✅ Works offline

---

5. Industry Conflict: Phone Makers vs Third-party Apps

The core tension

Phone makers want:

• ✅ System-level AI permission
• ✅ Cross-app operation
• ✅ Replace app entry points

Third-party apps want:

• ✅ Protect their traffic
• ✅ Not be replaced by AI
• ✅ Control their data

Real-world clash

• ⚠️ WeChat and Meituan resist Doubao
• ⚠️ Restrict AI from calling certain APIs
• ⚠️ "AI operates the phone" vs "app interests" clash

ByteDance Doubao's response

• ✅ 30-day public rule notice
• ✅ Third parties can declare operation boundaries
• ✅ Apps that explicitly refuse won't be operated
• ✅ Negotiating with WeChat and Meituan

---

6. QuestMobile User Data

May 2026

Key insight

"Users don't reject AI — they reject the pre-installed AI features they can't actually use."

• ✅ OEM AI = big reach, shallow use
• ✅ Native AI apps = small reach, deep use
• ⚠️ AI Agent still struggles to break through "low-frequency wake"

---

7. IDC Forecast

"2026 is the breakout year for AI phones — more than half of new phones shipped will be AI phones."

---

8. What This Means for Hany's Four Lines of Business

1. Consumer Electronics (Speakers / AI Terminals)

Implication:

• ✅ AI terminals = massive opportunity
• ✅ We can build AI speaker + LLM bundle
• ✅ Cross-border e-commerce can push AI terminals

Action:

• ✅ Track AI terminal supply chain
• ✅ Prepare AI speaker + LLM solutions
• ✅ Distribution in India / Southeast Asia

2. AI Compute

Implication:

• ✅ On-device AI compute = new demand
• ✅ Qualcomm + Chinese chips = opportunity
• ✅ Device-cloud hybrid = mainstream path

Action:

• ✅ Watch on-device AI chips
• ✅ Offer device-cloud hybrid compute
• ✅ AI Native device compute service

3. Cross-border E-commerce

Implication:

• ✅ ¥5,999 vs ¥3,499 = overseas value play
• ✅ Android + LLM = global-ready
• ✅ ByteDance Doubao going overseas

Action:

• ✅ Track AI phones going overseas
• ✅ India / SEA AI terminal supply

4. Investing in Young Founders

Implication:

• ✅ ByteDance = AI phone concept stock
• ✅ ZTE = hardware manufacturing
• ✅ Qualcomm / Chinese chips = on-device AI

Action:

• ✅ Watch ByteDance / ZTE share prices
• ✅ Invest in on-device AI chip supply chain

9. A Gen-Xer's Three Calls

Call 1: AI Phone War = iPhone Moment Replayed

2007: iPhone redefined the phone
2026: Doubao phone redefines the AI terminal

Meaning:

• ✅ AI shifts from "software" to "hardware"
• ✅ AI shifts from "app" to "operating system"
• ✅ Entry-point war = the next decade

Call 2: Collaboration vs In-house

Gen-Xer's window:

• ✅ Android + AI = partnership play
• ✅ Device + cloud = compute service
• ✅ AI hardware supply chain = investment angle

Call 3: On-device AI = The Next Compute Battlefield

The future of AI = device + cloud hybrid

• ✅ Phone (NPU)
• ✅ Edge server
• ✅ Cloud LLM

Gen-Xer's edge:

• ✅ 26 years in electronics
• ✅ AI hardware supply chain = long game
• ✅ Device-cloud hybrid compute = service market

AI terminal's "iPhone moment"

This is not just a phone story:

It is the entry-point war of the AI era

It is the Android camp's counterattack

It is the hardware-ification of China's LLMs

It is a new opening for Gen-Xers like me

The AI terminal's "iPhone moment" is here.

Are you ready?
