Smartphones Remain Relevant as AI Evolves User Experience
Imagine your phone is like your house key, but the future is like having a super-smart assistant that knows everything you need.
Phones won't disappear, but instead of being the center of everything, other devices like smart glasses will help you do things.
The assistant will be in your smart glasses or on your wrist, and the phone might become just one of the many tools.
This way, the glasses and phone work together so your experience becomes easier and more personalized.
Qualcomm executive Alex Katouzian believes smartphones will remain relevant.
The user experience will shift from devices to the human and AI assistant.
Smart glasses, like Meta's Ray-Ban, will play a central role, powered by Qualcomm's chip.
AI-driven wearables will give users computing power on their wrist or in their pocket.
Mark Zuckerberg also doesn't see phones disappearing anytime soon.
