With the advancements in technology, particularly AI now, what is the smartest smartphone in your opinion? And I don’t mean in terms of raw power or tech specs, but rather the likes of the OS, UI, or features and functions.
You’re going to have to be more specific or this will turn into a shit thread of Apple vs Samsung vs niche models.
HEADPHONE JACK! /s
Remove that /s and I agree, my current phone doesn’t have one but there are days I wish it did. Same for laptops no longer having a DVD drive.
I want a phone that folds like a brochure.
Entirely depends on the software you install on it?!
I mean the OS and UI don’t give you “smartness”. And I’m not completely sure about the definition. I for example think it’s smart not letting big tech companies steal all your data. So I might choose a different OS and different Apps than somebody else.
Concerning AI: I think ChatGPT runs on all of them. And I think all the assistants also run more or less in the cloud and don’t depend on the exact phone model. However, there are AI things that run on the phone itself. Camera picture enhancement and speech recognition for example.
Manufacturers often advertise with new AI features and unlock them on their newest flagship models. So the answer to your question regarding AI in preinstalled apps is probably: The current most expensive flagship models of Google/Samsung/Apple. One will have a slightly better camera AI, one a better photo editor and one a better AI assistant.
You nailed it, the question is far too vague to be meaningful.
I consider my phone not giving away all my data to be smart.
Someone else might think smart is giving away all your data so AI can make sense of it and improve the convenience.
Fairphone. Most forward thinking. Perhaps that isn’t smart. Perhaps it is wise.
The Fairphone probably, as it’d be pretty dumb to unnecessarily use materials from child labor and other inhumane conditions where available.
It follows from this that even smarter is to just keep using the phone you are using instead of upgrading, of course.
One without stupid bullshit on it.
A Pixel with grapheneOS? Get full control of your phone.
Os,ui,features: one of the iphones with lidar.
Functions: it depends on what you see yourself doing. I keep an android phone for the second number and using as a usb drive, sd card reader, other computer crap. It’s rare that i use it though, the circumstances where i want to host pxe boot or something and don’t have a computer are few and far between.
Ai: I don’t know. Most of it is done in the cloud so the phone doesn’t actually matter.
something listed on this page: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices
I’ll have to go for PinePhone.
Quite underpowered, but the available software… It seems it’s like having a Raspberry Pi in your pocket.
But I don’t know what you really mean by “smartest”. It could also mean a phone that oversimplifies thing for its user.
particularly AI
The Google Pixel 8 Pro is the only phone I am aware of where local AI capability was mentioned heavily in its marketing. (It’s also the only phone that is produced by a current leading company in the AI space.) I italicized “marketing” because my understanding from what I’ve been reading is that a lot of deeper Gemini AI integration won’t come until the P9P, though it might be possible to be backported to the P8P.
Pixel 8 pro or Samsung s24 ultra
