Summary
This video is the official launch event for the STEPX Neo “large model native agent phone” and its accompanying software ecosystem, presented by StepFun (阶跃星塘) founder Yin Qi (印奇). Joined by executive partners from Trip.com, Tencent WorkBuddy, and Alipay, as well as community hardware builders, Yin showcases the STEPX Neo hardware, the StepAOS 1.0 operating system, the Step Studio development platform, and integrations enabling autonomous task execution and device interaction.
What is shown
- [02:18 - 04:05] Hardware Reveal: Yin Qi unveils the physical STEPX Neo handset on stage, highlighting its “retro-future” aesthetic, modular styling, rear matrix display, and camera arrangement.
- [10:48 - 11:30] Audio & Whisper Demonstrations: Audio playback samples demonstrating 70 dB SNR voice capture in noisy conditions and whisper-level command recognition with over 15 dB environmental noise suppression.
- [12:17 - 13:42] Dual-Screen Interaction UI: Display of the primary UI alongside the secondary rear screen, which visually displays the personal agent Amoo’s real-time states (wake, listening, thinking, handoff, feedback, complete).
- [16:16 - 17:05] StepAOS Dual-Entry OS: Demonstration of the interface toggle between a traditional smartphone desktop and the agent-first Amoo workspace via a simple swipe.
- [21:18 - 22:20] Intent-Driven Task Cards: Workflow visualization of multi-step task resolution (itinerary booking and slide generation) turning spoken intent into structured action cards.
- [28:56 - 36:15] Tencent WorkBuddy Integration: Guest Wang Shengjie demonstrates generating weekly work reports and slide decks through voice commands dispatched via Amoo into WorkBuddy’s cloud agent workspace.
- [47:18 - 47:35] Autonomous Meal Ordering via Alipay Vibe Pay: Video demo showing voice-driven ordering of a McDonald’s meal set through Alipay, showing agent verification and 60-second end-to-end checkout.
- [49:13 - 57:25] Flying Skateboard Live Demo: Creator “Shenqi Ayu” enters the stage riding a custom electric manned hoverboard; he demonstrates how dual STEPX Neo devices mount to his wrist and the board to run real-time flight telemetry, attitude sensing, and posture coaching via Amoo.
- [57:56 - 65:00] Mind-Controlled Wheelchair Demo: Creator “Feiniu” enters the stage navigating an electric wheelchair hands-free using an EEG brain-computer interface headband tethered directly into STEPX Neo and Amoo.
Claims & numbers
- Hardware Architecture: Yin Qi states the device features a 6-microphone array, an ultra-low-power dedicated audio coprocessor, and the proprietary Whisper 1.0 speech algorithm.
- Acoustic Specs: Yin Qi claims voice pickup reaches 70 dB SNR, individual mic noise floor is 24.8 dB(A), and the acoustic clipping limit reaches 130 dB SPL.
- Power Consumption: Yin Qi states Amoo can run 24 hours of continuous background standby while consuming only 72 mAh (1.2% of total battery capacity) with a standby current of 3 mA.
- Trip.com Supply Chain: Wang Xiqiang states Trip.com covers travel supply chains across 200+ countries and regions, serving ~20 million outbound users annually, with 2.9 billion RMB invested in fulfillment guarantees in 2025.

Notable quotes
- [09:00] Yin Qi: “个人终端似乎历史非常巧合的,20年迭代一次。” (“Personal terminals seem, by a remarkable historical coincidence, to iterate once every 20 years.”)

- [57:01] Shenqi Ayu: “在可以看到的不久的将来,‘造’将一定不再是问题,而‘创’和‘想’,才是稀缺。” (“In the foreseeable future, ‘building’ will definitely no longer be the problem; rather, ‘creating’ and ‘imagining’ will be what is scarce.”)
Assessment
This is an official hardware and platform launch event presenting working physical units of the STEPX Neo phone alongside software UI demonstrations and physical maker prototypes (the manned hoverboard and EEG wheelchair). The stage appearances of the custom hoverboard and BCI wheelchair are real physical demonstrations, while software interactions like the McDonald’s order and complex multi-agent workflows are presented as polished on-screen video mockups and simulated UI flows.
