Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing many aspects of our lives, and smartphones are no exception. In today’s article, we’ll look at three ways AI will change the smartphone industry over the next five years.

one. Battery life and serviceability

The battery is one of the most important components of a smartphone as it determines how long we can use our devices without charging. However, battery performance may degrade over time due to various factors such as temperature, charge cycles and usage patterns. While we can’t change the way we use our smartphones ourselves, we can change the way smartphones manage the battery and charge it with AI!

AI can help extend battery life by predicting battery life, optimizing battery settings based on user behavior, and intelligently managing background processes by reducing power consumption. For example, adaptive charging implemented by Xiaomi and smart protection implemented by Oppo and OnePlus in varying SuperVOOC standards. These AI techniques can potentially increase smartphone battery life by up to 30%, increase your smartphone’s long-term battery life by up to 40%, and save energy costs for users.

2. Voice assistant

Voice assistant is a convenient way to interact with our smartphones using natural language. Voice assistants use technologies such as voice recognition, natural language processing (NLP), and artificial intelligence to understand and respond to human commands. Voice assistants can perform a variety of tasks such as making calls, sending messages, playing music, checking the weather, setting reminders, and more. However, voice assistants still face some challenges, such as accuracy issues (especially with accents or background noise), limited functionality (compared to touch-based interactions), and privacy issues (due to data collection).

Newer AI technologies can enhance voice assistants with advanced NLP models such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which can generate more natural and engaging responses based on context and personality traits. Newer AI may also allow voice assistants to learn from user feedback, adapt to different scenarios, and provide more personalized services. Another example is Microsoft Bing’s ChatGPT, which was recently updated with voice-to-speech and is available on both Android and iOS, challenging Apple’s Siri and Google Assistant.

3. smartphone camera

The camera is another important feature of a smartphone that attracts many consumers. Thanks to artificial intelligence, smartphone cameras today can achieve stunning results that can rival professional SLR cameras. AI can enhance smartphone cameras with scene recognition that automatically adjusts settings for the best possible shot based on subject category and other factors such as lighting conditions. AI can also enable object detection, allowing the camera to distinguish faces from the background and apply effects like bokeh for portrait mode. It can also improve image quality using computational photography techniques such as AI, HDR (high dynamic range), super resolution, and low light enhancement.

When it comes to AI-enabled smartphone cameras, Vivo’s latest flagship smartphone series, the Vivo X90, should definitely not be overlooked. Equipped with Vivo’s latest Vivo V2 ISP image processing silicon, computational photography on the Vivo X90 is almost instant compared to its rival. However, better photos also help Vivo’s partnership with Zeiss; this allowed the company to apply the company’s signature Zeiss T* coating to the flagship Sony IMX sensor in the Vivo X90 series.

In summary, AI will change smartphones in many ways over the next five years. AI will improve battery life, camera quality and voice assistant features, making future smartphones more powerful, versatile and useful than ever before.
