If virtual and augmented reality have been two of the trends that we have seen appear in recent times on tablets and smartphones, the other great novelty has been the Artificial Intelligence. The weight of the latter, not only in consumer electronics, but in other areas, is growing by leaps and bounds year after year and many predict that in the medium term, it will be fundamental in many sectors.
As we have mentioned on other occasions, advances in this and other fields are usually presented at large technology fairs, but what could be the towards... of this kind of attendees in 2018? Here we review the initiatives with the most weight and see how more can be included in the devices used every day by tens of millions of people.
Tablet format: Google leads the way
In larger media, the most powerful technologies are the only ones capable of creating solvent elements in this field. Siri, Alexa and Assistant they are the most established that we can find today in terminals of more than 7 inches. At the end of 2017 we told you that the Mountain Viewers had decided, after years of testing, to install it directly on tablets and we wondered what would be the most characteristic of him. However, this would have some nuances: Google Assistant will only be compatible on media with Android 7.0 or higher and also could make the leap to other formats such as televisions and computers that were accompanied by the green robot software.
The relationship between Artificial Intelligence and Chinese mobiles
If in the tablet format, it was the largest companies that led the way, in the case of phablets we find a more complex situation: Asian firms that have managed to climb positions in recent years have been the pioneers in this field. Its incorporation in mobiles would come from the side of image benefits. We have an example in the Oppo F5, which will incorporate assistants in the cameras that will analyze facial features and configure the lenses to offer the best possible captures by retouching them in other aspects such as image noise.
What's to come
It seems that Artificial Intelligence is being profitable and that results in many companies dedicating themselves to investing more efforts in it. One of the last cases we would see in Samsung, which according to the Internet, would be preparing a chip with it. What do you think? Do you think 2018 will be the year of the definitive consolidation of smart assistants or not? We leave you available related information such as a list of five trends in smartphones that could reach tablets.
