Doubao 2nd-gen agent phone cools off: resale premium collapses, price cut, 155 apps blocked
Two outlets carrying the same column from Most Talk FunTalk report that Nubia's second-generation Doubao phone, launched last month as its first consumer-facing AI agent phone, drew more than 370,000 JD reservations but did not repeat the first generation's buying frenzy. The phone launched at 5,999 yuan, its resale premium reportedly fell from 1,000 yuan to 199 yuan, and most models were in stock within 30 minutes of sale start. One month after launch, higher-spec versions were cut by more than 700 yuan on JD, and Doubao's phone assistant had published a refusal list covering 155 apps including WeChat, Taobao and Meituan, while one buyer said third-party apps could hardly be operated by voice. The column argues that at a 5,000-yuan price the device misses the elder market where Nubia's low-cost models and Doubao's 6.07 million users over 50 overlap.
It is a concrete snapshot of how an AI agent phone performs in the market: strong reservation numbers but weak resale demand, a price cut within a month, and a refusal list that limits voice operation of popular third-party apps, while also illustrating the open question of whether AI phones should target the elderly segment that the two partners already share.

“第三方软件几乎都不能通过语音自动使用,连最简单的打开哔哩哔哩网站搜索功能都不行。”
一位在京东购买了豆包手机的用户,在努比亚官方旗舰店留下这样的一条评论。
上个月,豆包二代手机发布,这其实算得上是努比亚真正面向消费者的首款AI智能体手机,因为豆包一代手机还是停留在“技术预览版”的层面。
在豆包手机发布前夕,二手平台上的黄牛们就卯足了劲,准备大赚一笔。毕竟一代豆包手机发布后,官方定价只有3499元,但在二手平台上未拆封机型报价都翻倍,甚至一度炒到上万元。
