The NaviX Ultra will be the first mass-produced smartphone, according to Nubia and CXMT, to use domestically manufactured mobile DRAM capable of reaching 10,667Mbps.
On the imaging front, Nubia will give the NaviX Ultra three rear cameras, including a 50-megapixel main sensor, an ultra-wide lens and a periscope telephoto camera. The front camera will also use a 50-megapixel sensor.
The company is also said to be working with ByteDance on the phone's software. The company will integrate ByteDance's Doubao mobile assistant at the system level. The two companies call the project Doubao Phone 2.0, which will support multimodal interactions and voice-based device controls.
Nubia has also confirmed BOE, Samsung Semiconductor and Goodix Technology as hardware partners. BOE will supply the display, while Samsung Semiconductor will provide camera and imaging components. Goodix Technology will handle biometric and interface solutions.
