Smartphones as we know them follow a home screen model full of standard applications that we can use individually (for example, to listen to music) or together (such as opening several of them repeatedly to compare prices of the same product before purchasing).

As Deutsche Telekom, they have dreamed of a different future and will present it at the next MWC 2024 in Barcelona. In collaboration with Qualcomm on the hardware side and Brain.ai on the software side, they will announce their flagship launch, artificial intelligence. The phone is an Artificial Intelligence based smartphone.

All you have to do is write a request without opening the applications.

Until now, using a phone involved using apps. And for more complex tasks that require multiple actions, the usual thing is to go from one to the other.

For example, to book a trip we may need to use several: the browser to see the details of the destination, the airline’s browser to buy tickets, the accommodation search engine’s browser to book the same, and the calendar’s browser to add each one. Flying and days out as an activity, perhaps along with taking notes to write a general plan.

This is what Deutsche Telekom wants to change. You want to switch from using multiple apps to: a simple consultation chatbot who will understand what we want and take appropriate steps. In our example, you will simply say “Book me a trip to San Francisco between July 8-18” and he will be responsible for arranging the flight and accommodation.

Certainly, will ask us some questions To enable you to choose the one that suits us best, but the bureaucracy will remain on your side. The same principle will apply to other areas of the AI ​​Phone, such as photo editing, online shopping or information searching.

For this first prototype, an interface adapted from the operator’s T-Phone, a generic Android terminal, will be used, but the idea is to bring this interface to other smartphones on the market.

On the other hand, the operator is approaching it as a cloud-based phone, which reduces the need for powerful hardware and lowers the price of the terminal. However, it also announced a version with native processing in which it will use Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which increases the speed and energy efficiency of queries.

during MWC we can see some prototypes, Although the telecommunication warns: There is still time for them to be purchased before the deadline. Now it remains to be seen whether the rest of the industry will jump on the bandwagon of the post-application period.
