The bean bag phones are sold out and may not be available until the end of 2026.

Once the Douphone was announced, it caused a huge stir in the market. Due to the limited number of engineering samples, it also sparked a surge in prices in the second-hand market. According to the latest information, with the official announcement of being sold out, it is possible that the first generation of Douphone may not continue to be mass-produced. A supply chain source confirmed, "ByteDance did indeed test the market this time, with a small amount of mobile phone stock, with an initial batch of about 30,000 units." At the same time, "after selling out, the project party did not increase material input." This also means that the market circulation volume will remain fixed in the short term. Despite not expanding the initial batch size, the project has not stopped. A person close to ZTE Communications revealed to a reporter from Blue Whale Technology, "This project is highly confidential internally, with ZTE Communications in the role of party B in the cooperation, and everyone is very cautious about this project." The above-mentioned supply chain source further disclosed, "ByteDance and ZTE Communications have started the research and development of the second generation product, and it is expected to be shipped by the end of 2026 under the condition that no other variable factors occur."
