Modern smartphone launches are frequently less about hardware and more about what the new phones can do with AI \u2013 the problem is that most of them are, well, gimmicky.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

When was the last time you used Apple\u2019s Image Playground? Or added a doodle to your photo using Samsung\u2019s Galaxy AI? Have you ever actually used the Pixel\u2019s Camera Coach feature when snapping a photo? What about Honor\u2019s Magic Portal? Nope, I didn\u2019t think so.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t misunderstand me; these are all fantastic showcases of what AI can do. The problem is that they\u2019re not really solving any problems. They\u2019re something you can show off to your mates once or twice, but will you actually use them in day-to-day life?

And I\u2019ll throw Circle to Search into the mix there because, well, it works perfectly most of the time. Circle something on screen, and you\u2019ll be able to find that thing on Google. It\u2019s great for finding niche products, whether that\u2019s an obscure bit of tech or an outfit you like, without all the usual legwork of Google searches.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But those features are cloud-based and can be used on pretty much any phone at any price point. What I\u2019m talking about are the AI features that are…<\/p>\n
