China Unveils Its First AI Smartphone
Chinese AI startup StepFun has introduced the StepX Neo, describing it as the world's first mass-market AI smartphone. Unlike conventional smartphones that treat AI as an added feature, the StepX Neo is designed around autonomous AI agents that can understand context, complete tasks, and interact more naturally with users.
The launch highlights China's growing ambition to lead the next generation of AI-powered consumer devices, where AI becomes the primary way users interact with their phones.
