Smartphone manufacturers are integrating their latest devices with innovative artificial intelligence features such as real-time voice translation and advanced photo editing to rekindle consumer interest.
This trend was evident at the Mobile World Congress (MWC), where companies showcased the unique AI-powered capabilities of their new flagship devices.
According to Ben Wood, chief researcher at CCS Insight, smartphones have become less exciting, and the changes from one model to the next are not significant. He emphasized the need for more exciting features to encourage phone upgrades, with AI being a key solution.
Major companies like Samsung and smaller device makers like China’s Honor are heavily investing in AI. Samsung’s new premium AI-powered Galaxy S24 range offers features like real-time language translation and advanced photo editing, while Honor’s Magic 6 Pro smartphone boasts motion-sensing capabilities and anticipates user needs to enhance app navigation.
Analysts believe that the increased computing power of AI chips has enabled smartphone makers to offer these AI-powered features directly on the handset, without relying on cloud computing, potentially marking the start of a new era for smartphones.
Despite sluggish smartphone sales, AI-powered tools could become a new revenue stream for device makers. Samsung has hinted at introducing more powerful AI features for paid subscribers in the future.
Overall, the focus on AI at the Mobile World Congress signals a shift towards innovative AI-powered features to drive smartphone sales and revenue growth.
