Smartphones with AI-Powered Voice Assistants
Artificial Intelligence-powered Mobile Devices Arriving from Telekom: Rival Companies Shift Focus Elsewhere
In the rapidly evolving world of technology, AI-powered voice assistants are becoming increasingly common in smartphones, offering users enhanced voice interaction and personalized experiences. Here are some notable examples:
Google Pixel 10 Series
The Google Pixel 10 series integrates advanced AI features, including the Google Assistant and the innovative Gemini AI. The Tensor G5 processor further enhances AI performance, and the device comes with a range of AI-infused features such as Visual Overlays, Magic Cue, Camera Coach, Voice Translate, and Pixel Journal [2][5].
Apple iPhones
Apple's Siri offers robust voice recognition and conversational capabilities, with plans for further enhancements. While not as AI-intensive as Google's Gemini, Siri supports smart home integration via HomeKit and offers multi-turn conversations [3].
Amazon Alexa-Enabled Devices
Although not smartphones per se, Amazon's voice assistant is integrated into various devices and offers AI-driven conversational capabilities similar to what might be expected from Perplexity AI [3].
Samsung Smartphones
Samsung's AI assistant, Bixby, offers smart home integration and conversational capabilities, though it may lack the advanced AI features seen in Google's Gemini [4].
These smartphones and assistants are shaping the future of AI in mobile devices. However, specific details about Deutsche Telekom's Perplexity AI are not readily available in the search results to draw direct comparisons.
Meanwhile, major smartphone providers like Samsung and Apple also have AI assistants (Galaxy AI and Apple Intelligence) to simplify app usage. The introduction of the AI phone is part of Telekom's marketing strategy to position itself as an innovative company [6].
Established smartphone manufacturers are increasingly integrating AI functions into their devices, according to O2 [1]. For instance, the AI assistant on the smartphone provides information such as shopping suggestions and translations of restaurant menus [2].
Telekom's AI phone, Perplexity, costs 149 euros, significantly less than other smartphones [7]. The device, which is manufactured by a company in Vietnam, is an advanced version of the T-Phone, which Telekom has been selling for several years [8]. There is also a tablet version of the AI phone available.
Despite the growing popularity of AI chatbots, a recent YouGov survey revealed that only 15% of respondents in Germany had used AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity [9]. Another 24% of respondents had heard of these AI chatbots but hadn't used them yet [10].
While AI technology continues to evolve, there have been some slip-ups, such as the AI assistant at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona promoting helicopter tours instead of tapas bars, which was attributed to challenging acoustics in the exhibition hall by Telekom [11].
Guido Weissbrich from Vodafone Germany's management emphasizes the benefits of AI functions for handling smartphones [12]. O2, on the other hand, focuses on the use of AI expertise in the mobile network.
In other news, Schloss Oberwerries in Hamm is currently under renovation, and the h4 cultural festival in Hamm is headlined by 2raumwohnung [13][14]. Additionally, meteor showers are happening over Hamm, adding to the city's night sky spectacle.
