Deutsche Telekom Unveils AI-Powered Smartphone with Perplexity Assistant
Deutsche Telekom, the parent company of T-Mobile, has announced the development of an innovative AI-powered smartphone, dubbed the “AI Phone,” which will be powered by Perplexity Assistant. This exciting news was revealed at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona.
# What to Expect from the AI Phone
The AI Phone is set to be launched later this year and will run on “Magenta AI,” a platform that provides users with access to a suite of AI tools, including Perplexity Assistant, Google Cloud AI, ElevenLabs, and Picsart. This cutting-edge technology will enable users to perform various tasks, such as booking flights and making restaurant reservations, using only voice commands.
## AI Phone Concept
The AI phone concept was first introduced by Deutsche Telekom at MWC 2024 as an “app-less” device that can be primarily controlled by voice. This innovative device is designed to simplify users’ lives by allowing them to perform complex tasks without having to switch between multiple apps.
## Capabilities of the AI Phone
The forthcoming AI phone with Perplexity Assistant will be capable of booking a taxi and doing your shopping without requiring users to switch apps on their phone. This is made possible by the integration of Perplexity’s AI-powered search engine, which will also be available on other devices using the MeinMagenta app.
## Availability and Hardware
Deutsche Telekom has not revealed much about the AI phone’s hardware, but images suggest a budget to midrange Android device with thick forehead and chin bezels, as well as a pink sleep/wake button. The company plans to launch the AI phone in the second half of this year.
## Expanding AI Features
This summer, Deutsche Telekom will add some of the AI features from Google Cloud AI, ElevenLabs, and Picsart into the MeinMagenta app, which is compatible with other smartphones. This move will further expand the reach of AI technology and provide users with a more seamless experience.
# Conclusion
The development of the AI Phone with Perplexity Assistant marks a significant milestone in the evolution of smartphones. With its innovative AI-powered features, this device has the potential to revolutionize the way we interact with our phones. Stay tuned for more updates on the AI Phone’s launch and features. Get ready to experience the future of smartphones!“
