Smartphone makers bet on AI to boost sales

Economic Times · 1y

Smartphone manufacturers showcased their latest devices with advanced artificial intelligence (AI) features at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Companies like Samsung and Honor are integrating AI into their flagship phones to attract consumers and prompt phone upgrades. AI-powered features include real-time voice translation and advanced photo editing. The increased computing power in AI chips allows these features to be incorporated directly into the devices without relying on cloud computing. However, the challenge lies in educating and convincing consumers about the benefits of AI. Sluggish smartphone sales have driven manufacturers to explore AI as a potential revenue stream, similar to Apple's successful services model.
