AI phones refer to a device that integrates artificial intelligence into its core functions, using technologies such as machine learning and large language models (LLMs). These systems may run directly on the device, rely on cloud-based processing, or combine both approaches.
AI has rapidly transformed the smartphone industry, improving user experience across communication, photography, productivity, and accessibility.
