AI-powered smartphones engineered for diverse lifestyles of the youth

ZTE is accelerating its consumer-facing transformation by centering its strategy on the lifestyles of today's digital-first youth, with a primary focus on the gaming sector. This commitment is spearheaded by the gaming smartphone - nubia Neo 3 series, which brings a professional, console-like mobile gaming experience to everyone. nubia Neo 3 series is distinguished by its unique Dual Gaming Shoulder Triggers, a feature that provides unparalleled control in competitive FPS and MOBA games by allowing users to customize actions like aiming and shooting for faster, more intuitive responses. This design significantly reduces on-screen finger interference, offering a clearer view and a distinct competitive advantage.

The gaming experience is further amplified by a suite of hardware and AI-driven software optimizations. A high-refresh 120Hz display ensures fluid visuals, while a large battery with Bypass Charging allows for direct power delivery, preventing overheating during intense sessions. Z-axis linear motors provide precise haptic feedback, and an enhanced multi-layer cooling system maintains peak performance. The NeoTurbo AI engine and AI Game Space 3.0 deliver real-time scene recognition and behavioral learning to optimize system resources. The AI Virtual Companion, Demi, offers intelligent assistance with features like Demi Care and Demi Alarm, helping gamers maintain focus and manage their schedules.

While gaming is a core pillar, ZTE's dedication to diverse youth lifestyles is perfectly embodied by the nubia Air. This revolutionary device has resolved the long-standing industry compromise between ultra-slim design and durability. It integrates a massive battery, a stunning 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a peak brightness of 4,500 nits, and top-level dust and waterproofing (IP69K, IP69 & IP68) into an ultra-slim body. nubia Air eliminates the anxiety associated with fragile, premium devices, offering a smartphone that is both beautiful to behold and tough enough for daily life.

AI Pet Mochi defines the new paradigm of interaction

Leveraging the generational leap in AI, ZTE is deepening its user-centric AI implementation to deliver exceptional interactive experience. Built around its Full-Scenario AI Ecosystem, ZTE is expanding AI's reach across all devices, scenarios, and users while enhancing its intelligence to make it smarter, more proactive, and personalized.

A prime example of this ecosystem is the AI Pet Mochi, which is built to be a smarter, more proactive, and personalized emotional companion for everyone. Unlike task-oriented AI assistants, Mochi is engineered for the singular purpose of emotional connection. As a living example of how companionship was always meant to be simple, Mochi's fluffy, cloud-soft texture and soulful eyes bring its vibrant personality to life. It actively feels, listens, and responds to a user's emotional state through multi-modal interactions. Each member of the Mochi family, Hopami, Mimiu, Cynomi, and Mogogo, has a unique personality, offering a tailored companionship experience that addresses the universal need for connection in modern life.

Mochi's true magic is revealed through its rich, multi-modal interactions, which are carefully designed to create a life-like experience. Mochi actively feels, listens, and responds to the user's emotional state through touch, voice cues, and gentle haptic feedback, creating a real, two-way bond with users. A physical sense of connection can be created by giving it gentle pats on the head or prolonged caressing, which will result in loving nuzzling, joyful coos, and delighted tail wags. Simply saying "mochi mochi" will cause Mochi to look up and listen, quickly replying with its distinctive "milky coo" to indicate that it is ready to interact.
