Googles Pixel 10 line pushes more AI execution onto the device, signaling a shift from app-centric workflows to agent-driven assistance that enterprises and telecoms should prepare to operationalize. Pixel 10 introduces Magic Cue, a context-aware assistant that reads what you're doing across apps and suggests the next action calling an airline, adding a calendar entry, or surfacing a reservation address without forcing a switch between apps.
Deutsche Telekom is using hardware, pricing, and partnerships to make AI a mainstream feature set across mass-market smartphones and tablets. Deutsche Telekom introduced the T Phone 3 and T Tablet 2, branded as the AI-phone and AI-tablet, with Perplexity as the embedded assistant and a dedicated magenta button for instant access. In Germany, the AI-phone starts at 149 and the AI-tablet at 199, or one euro each when bundled with a tariff, positioning AI features at entry-level price points and shifting value to services and connectivity. The bundle includes an 18-month Perplexity Pro subscription in addition to the embedded assistant, plus three months of Picsart Pro with monthly credits, which lowers the barrier to adopting AI-powered creation and search.
