Nubia NaviX Ultra Users Kicked Off Honor of Kings, Doubao Denies Wrongdoing

KEY FACTS

Starting the evening of September 24, multiple Nubia NaviX Ultra users reported receiving device environment abnormality warnings when logging into Honor of Kings.
Some users were forcibly kicked offline during matchmaking battles, and their accounts appeared to be banned.
Doubao Mobile Assistant issued a statement on September 25 claiming it performed no operations on Tencent's game systems throughout the process.
Doubao Assistant denied any unauthorized clicks, cheating, or simulation behavior.
Doubao said it is still in contact with Tencent but has not yet received a clear response from the company.

PHYSIX OBSERVATION

The collision between AI assistants and game anti-cheat systems has surfaced on a large scale for the first time. Doubao denies wrongdoing, but user accounts have already been affected, indicating a lack of mutual recognition mechanisms between on-device AI operations and game publishers' risk controls. If the two sides do not clarify the boundaries soon, the gaming experience on AI phones will become a gray area that users pay for.
