OpenAI Preparing to Challenge Apple and Samsung with AI-Powered Smartphone

OpenAI, the AI company that created ChatGPT, is now preparing to challenge Apple and Samsung. According to media reports, the company is working on the first AI phone, in which, instead of navigating between multiple apps, users will rely on AI to complete their tasks. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has reported in an X post that OpenAI is fast-tracking the development of its first AI Agent smartphone and is expected to begin mass production by the first half of 2027. According to Kuo, there is increasing competition in the field of AI powered smartphones or Agent phones, where companies are vying to deliver more advanced AI features. In his previous post on X, Kuo had mentioned that OpenAI has partnered with both MediaTek and Qualcomm to create processors for smartphones. However, due to better specifications, it seems that OpenAI has finalized 96-nm2-nodium node-sync (TSMC2) as the sole processor for smartphones.
