Mobile phone manufacturer Samsung has hinted at plans to invest heavily in artificial intelligence (AI) and integrate a slew of functionalities into its incoming devices.

It is unclear what the final form of the AI-powered devices will be, but analysts say that early versions may be clunky and lose the sheen of being “mobile.” Since Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) rolled out its iPhone design, mobile phones have primarily adopted the same design—rectangular-shaped phones with screen size being the main distinctive feature. There are fears that the AI-based phone with a significantly larger screen size and multiple sensors may have a substantially weaker battery than standard devices. Other challenges that stand in the way of AI phones include a high price point, difficulties with ecosystem integration and waning brand trust. Samsung is not the first to explore an AI-based mobile device with Rabbit R! and Humane AI testing the waters with their offerings. However, popular tech content creator Brownlee described both devices as “borderline non-functional,” pointing to their inability to perform simple AI tasks. Apple may not be unveiling its own AI device, but the mobile phone maker has made significant inroads in its own…
