Advanced AI set to infiltrate smartphones, from hardware to software to apps
This report is available to those subscribed to the Digital Consumer module.
Increasingly advanced AI integration in smartphones is expected to have a wide-ranging impact across smartphone hardware, software and user apps. For example, moving large language models (LLMs) to smartphones will require a focus on improving power efficiency in chipsets; advanced AI will likely lead to hyper-personalisation of the smartphone OS user experience; and LLMs are expected to help introduce a plethora of new functionality in mobile apps. In this report we take an in-depth look at the future of advanced AI integration in smartphones and the implications for industry players such as OEMs and operators.
