Key points

  • The STEPX Neo costs 3,999 yuan, about $560, and pre-orders opened on JD.com, Tmall and Douyin, with a first sales event on 16 Oct.
  • The price includes 12 months of the STEPX Token Plan at 100 billion tokens a month; StepFun has not said what AI access costs after that.

StepFun has launched the STEPX Neo, a phone built around its Amoo AI agent rather than around apps. The Tencent-backed Chinese startup opened pre-orders on 13 Oct at 3,999 yuan, about $560, with a first sales event due on 16 Oct, Decrypt reports.

The handset runs Step AOS 1.0, which StepFun says it built from scratch for autonomous task execution, mixing Android, Linux and real-time operating system components.

Amoo keeps separate memories for the user's facts and preferences and for how tasks are carried out. Simple commands such as alarms run on a small on-device model, some offline, while requests spanning several apps go to a larger cloud model.

What to watch: A first sales event for the STEPX Neo is scheduled for 16 Oct.
