Motorola to Integrate Perplexity AI into Razr Phones, Samsung in Talks for Future Collaboration:

Motorola is reportedly set to integrate Perplexity AI as a native feature on its smartphones, commencing with the Razr series, as Bloomberg has noted. The company is also expected to make a formal announcement regarding its collaboration with Perplexity AI Inc. sometime towards the end of this month. Motorola is also working on a custom graphical interface for the Razr series to optimize experience and encourage adoption, in addition to providing Perplexity as an alternative to Gemini AI.

This will likely make Motorola the first major smartphone manufacturer to work with Perplexity AI and integrate it natively into the smartphones, allowing users to potentially engage with the AI.

Samsung Also Looking Into Integrating Perplexity AI

Perplexity AI is also said to be in talks with Samsung, although no deal has officially been signed. The tech behemoth currently utilizes Google Gemini AI for the smart features on their latest Galaxy S25 series. While Gemini is still an advanced option compared to Apple’s current AI offerings, integrating Perplexity could offer users more options and flexibility.

It remains to be seen how Samsung would implement Perplexity, whether it be as a Galaxy Store feature, preinstalled app, or installed deeper within the systems. However, the plans do not appear to be set at replacing Gemini as the primary AI assistant anytime soon.

Perplexity AI: Diversifying Options In The AI Assistant Market

Perplexity has received attention for the speed and accuracy of its responses, frequently going head to head with industry leaders including ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude. In some areas, it outperforms Gemini, which makes it a viable option for users wanting efficient AI services, especially on mobile devices.

Some industry insiders believe that Samsung might look to invest in Perplexity, suggesting that a collaboration partnership might go beyond simple integration.

The Expanding AI Competition In Smartphones

With Motorola making its bold move and Samsung looking at possible ‘teaming up’, the smartphone AI competition is evolving swiftly. If more vendors jump onboard, users stand to gain from additional choices, making the smartphone industry more competitive in terms of AI.

In the meantime, Apple might find themselves under pressure to improve their in-house AI offerings to maintain market relevance.
