Chinese startup StepFun has opened pre-orders for its STEPX Neo smartphone in China. Orders began on Oct. 13, with the device priced at 3,999 yuan.
The phone centers on an AI agent embedded in the operating system. Rather than offering the agent as a separate app, StepFun has made it part of the device’s underlying software.
That approach distinguishes the STEPX Neo’s design from phones that provide AI agents through standalone applications. The announcement focuses on system-level integration, with the agent positioned at the core of the phone experience.
