New phones put on-device AI front and centre
The latest flagships run more of the assistant locally — faster, more private, and less reliant on the cloud.
Quick Summary
The newest flagship phones are running more of their AI assistants directly on the device, promising faster responses and better privacy by keeping data off the cloud.
The edge moves to the edge
Manufacturers are racing to fit capable models onto phone-grade chips, a shift that could reshape how billions of people use AI day to day — including in markets where connectivity is patchy.
For Sri Lankan users, on-device features could make AI tools useful even on the move and on metered data plans.
