StepFun officially launched the STEPX Neo, its first large-model-native agent phone, on October 13. Priced at 3999 RMB (~$560) as a full-stack bundle including hardware, StepAOS, and Step models, it features a Snapdragon 8 series chip and 16GB+256GB storage. The device offers 10 billion tokens monthly for 12 months, significantly lowering barriers for developers.

The core innovation lies in its dual-screen interaction paradigm: the main screen handles traditional user inputs, while the back screen exclusively displays agent status (waking, thinking, executing). This design mitigates attention interference from background AI tasks. Cross-verified reports indicate the product has moved from concept to pre-sale, validating the feasibility of native agent phones in perception, memory organization, and developer ecosystem closure.

This launch marks a pivotal shift from 'app-overlay' to 'system-native' AI terminals. By combining competitive pricing with substantial compute subsidies, StepFun aims to rapidly cultivate a developer ecosystem around StepAOS, driving scalable deployment of agents on mobile devices and setting potential standards for future AI phone form factors.

LATEST/STEPX Neo has entered pre-sale, focusing on validating dual-screen interaction's effectiveness in reducing attention interference while incentivizing developers to explore native agent applications via StepAOS through massive monthly token quotas.
