The iphone is now replaced by the German AI-phone at an affordable price starting from 149 euros.
With the AI-phone, Deutsche Telekom is opening the door to the world of artificial intelligence (AI) for its customers to assist at many daily tasks, such as “What shall I cook today? I’ve got some ingredients left, but no recipe,” or even “How can I remain fit, while barely having any time to exercise?”
The new AI phone adds the following benefits to your regular smartphone:
1 - The new AI smartphone comes with a Personal secretary who makes calendar entries, writes emails to contacts and summarizes extensive content.
2 – It is a Language genius that helps with translations such as restaurant menus, documents or even conversations.
3 – It is an Exclusive travel agency that plans itineraries, acts as a city guide, makes restaurant reservations via OpenTable, and even orders a Uber.
4 – It is a Nutritionist and a trainer, giving cooking tips, with lists of ingredients, while providing training and nutrition plans.
5 – It is a Shopping expert that recommends stylish additions to your outfit or household and finds the best deals and gifts for loved ones.
6 – It is an Entertainer that finds the best concerts, books and movies that match the user’s personal taste.
7 – It is a Tutor that solves math problems and explains complicated topics in an easy-to-understand way.
The Deutsche Telekom new AI smartphone with Perplexity makes it possible to ask questions both via voice and in writing and the assistant performs various tasks such as sending emails or messages, making calls, and helping with navigation via interfaces to pre-installed applications.
In Germany the price of the AI-phone is 149 euros, and the AI-tablet is 199 euros. The price also includes an 18-months subscription to Perplexity Pro that remains on the devices permanently.
In addition, the AI-phone includes modern AI tools integrated into the camera. Through the partnership with Picsart, AI avatars can be created, and image backgrounds can be easily edited. Another plus point is the sustainability features of the devices since the T Phone 3 has received the GreenMagenta label in the Eco Rating of smartphones and the T Tablet 2 is a good example of the circular economy as 75% of its back consists of post-consumer recycled plastic.
Among European consumers motivated by AI features, the most desired functionalities include real-time translation, camera enhancements, circle to search functionality, and all three available on Deutsche Telekom’s new AI-phone.
