The feature phone first appeared in the 80s of the last century, and only has basic **, SMS and other functions. Chen Mengzhu, chief analyst of Guohai ** global technology, told the "Global Times" reporter that Apple is considered to have opened the era of global smartphones, and compared with feature phones, smartphones have stronger software and hardware capabilities, more advanced operating systems, and can also expand functions through various applications in the app store.
In 2024, the concept of AI mobile phones is hyped. According to IDC's definition, an AI mobile phone refers to a neural network processor (NPU) with a computing power greater than 30 tops, equipped with a system-on-chip (SoC) that can support generative AI models, and supports various large language models to run on the device side.
Liu Zuohu believes that AI mobile phones are the third major stage of change in the mobile phone industry after feature phones and smart phones. AI phones will have four major characteristics: efficient use of computing resources to meet the computing needs of generative AI; Keen perception of the real world, understanding the complex information of users and the environment; Strong self-learning ability; Possess more creative ability to provide users with continuous inspiration and knowledge support.
Xiang Ligang said that the current concept of AI mobile phones has just emerged, and the products are generally high, and the price of a new AI mobile phone launched by an international brand this year is as high as 1More than 20,000 yuan. This is due to the fact that AI mobile phones are mostly high-end models and flagship models of enterprises. Many ordinary mobile phones also have certain AI capabilities, but they don't have this concept. In the future, consumers will experience more accessible AI mobile phones.
The opening of the AI mobile phone era has also put forward new issues for the mobile phone industry chain. "In 2024, AI mobile phones are expected to account for only about 15% of global mobile phone shipments, and in the process of popularizing AI mobile phones, there may be node problems at every scale, including data security, laws and regulations, etc. Guo Tianxiang said that in the era of AI mobile phones, mobile phone manufacturers should establish a good division of labor and cooperation with chip manufacturers, cloud service providers, and open source large model developers. Chip manufacturers should provide more efficient and stable computing power to promote the popularization and development of AI terminal chips. Cloud service providers build stronger models; Smartphone manufacturers should play a leading role, connecting all aspects of capabilities to provide customers with a better experience. (Ni Hao).
