This concept phone at MWC 2024 relies solely on AI, ditching apps
Deutsche Telekom has unveiled a concept handset at MWC 2024 that operates entirely on AI.
This experimental device is designed to handle all user needs with the help of AI instead of apps.
Deutsche Telekom collaborated with Qualcomm and Brain.AI to develop this AI handset.
AI has been a hot topic in the industry lately, and this year’s Mobile World Congress (MWC) is no different. Companies are showcasing their AI products and concepts, with Deutsche Telekom’s AI smartphone concept standing out among attendees.

The concept for this device appears to stem from Deutsche Telekom’s vision of a potential future for smartphones.
“I can tell you that in 5-10 years from now, nobody from us will use apps anymore,” said Deutsche Telekom CEO Tim Hoettges in the keynote presentation.
Some potential use cases for this device include submitting prompts and receiving generated suggestions for travel, food, or products to buy. Additionally, users could take a picture and ask the AI to send the photo to friends and family.
Deutsche Telekom collaborated with Qualcomm and Brain.AI to develop this AI handset. Interestingly, Brain.AI already offers an iOS app claiming similar functionality to this phone. However, many reviews of the app seem to be negative.
It’s important to note that the AI smartphone is just a concept. So, there’s a good possibility that it will never be launched publicly.
In my opinion, if this phone indeed makes its debut sometime, it will have benefits and cons as well. For instance, users will be able to interact with the device more naturally, without the need to navigate through various apps. However, the success of this concept heavily relies on the reliability and accuracy of the AI technology powering the device. If the AI fails to understand user commands or provides inaccurate information, it could lead to frustration and decreased user satisfaction.
