The world's largest smartphone manufacturer, Samsung, is planning a significant revolution in terms of the design and functionality of our handheld devices. They hope to manufacture new types of phones that better support artificial intelligence (AI). This change might mean a lot to everyday mobile users.
According to TM Roh, who heads up Samsung's mobile division, these new “AI phones” will look completely different from today's models. It is possible that they will become more portable with additional sensors for collecting information and larger screens for displaying AI results.
Samsung is heavily investing in this concept. It allocates most of its research budgetary allocation towards figuring out how to enable these AI phones perform optimally. Although exact specifications have not been released yet on what these phones will comprise, it can be discerned that they are looking beyond the regular flat rectangle shape we know.
There has already been an indication of what lies ahead. For instance, Samsung's latest Galaxy S24s and fold-up handsets include some Artificial Intelligence capabilities. Gemini Nano system is used by Google so as to allow processing of AI tasks right within the phone without them being connected to online servers.
However, Samsung wants even more than that. They are looking at ways through which AI can be improved further on smart phones. Such changes may drastically alter how we currently utilize our smartphones including making it easier to perform complex tasks via AI unlike now when such activities turn out to be quite challenging while using mobile phone devices.
But other companies are also working on this problem? Apple and Google among others are trying to increase their use of AI in their products including smartphones too. Other smaller companies have even tried designing their own special AI devices but they haven't succeeded much with such efforts yet.
These drastic changes will certainly not happen overnight though; new designs take long periods before they can be made functional. However, Samsung tends sticking by its plans and launching new handsets as scheduled thereby one should anticipate implementation of some of these ideas within the next years.
While waiting for these AI phones, Samsung is also developing other amazing things like three-part folding phones or screens that can slide out. Therefore, it is a great moment for phone technology with Samsung leading in terms of thinking about our forthcoming mobiles.
