AI Phones Will Enter Indian Market in Two Years, Says Qualcomm
US-based semiconductor firm on Thursday announced that in India, artificial intelligence-capable phones are expected to be available in the mid-tier mobile phone segment in the next 12-18 months, according to a report published by Business Standard. After this, these phones will also be available in the value phone segment in the coming two years.
Rahul Patel, chief general manager for connectivity, broadband and networks based in the San Francisco Bay Area shared that most premium android smartphones --- which usually use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chips --- already have AI capabilities, and even mid-tier models are now equipped to support AI features.
Currently, there are a very few AI phones in India today due to lack of use case development, he described. However, Patel believes that this will change as consumer experiences with AI improve.
He added that their chipsets are already equipped to handle AI applications --- it’s now up to device makers to roll out these app, many of which are currently in development and expected to launch next year, the report said.
As more practical use cases emerge, the presence of AI phones in the market is likely to grow significantly, said Patel, adding that India’s potential fabrication base will provide an opportunity to Qualcomm.
