[Shenzhen, China, Sep. 16] — Goodix announced that its innovative solutions have been integrated into the world’s first AI agent smartphone, the nubia NaviX Ultra. The device combines Goodix’s ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, side-mounted capacitive fingerprint sensor, and touch controller solutions to deliver seamless interaction for edge AI experiences.

Dual-Fingerprint Design for Distinct Usage Scenarios

The dedicated AI button on the nubia NaviX Ultra incorporates Goodix’s capacitive fingerprint solution to verify users as soon as an AI dialogue is activated. This ensures that authorization is in place before the AI can access system functions, reducing identity spoofing and unauthorized use while making AI interactions more convenient.

Meanwhile, Goodix ultrasonic fingerprint solution handles everyday authentication—such as account logins and payments—when explicit confirmation is required. It delivers fast and reliable unlocking even with oily or wet fingers.

Biometric Authentication Is Becoming Essential in the AI Era

As AI capabilities continue to evolve and gain deeper access to system resources, it is increasingly important to adopt measures to reduce risks such as identity spoofing and privilege misuse. According to IDC, identity verification technologies, including biometric authentication, will become one of the key areas of exploration for safer AI interaction.

As one of the most widely adopted biometric technologies in smart devices, fingerprint recognition is becoming a key authentication interface for AI edge devices. Backed by strong innovation and commercialization expertise, Goodix is expanding its fingerprint portfolios for a broad range of IoT and AI-enabled devices, including AI smartphones, AI PCs, AI glasses, smart speakers, and wearables, helping enable more intelligent human-device interactions.
