Motorola's Next Razr to Feature Perplexity as Key Element

Get ready for an exciting update from Motorola, as the much-anticipated Motorola Razr is set to be unveiled on April 24th. According to Bloomberg, the new Razr will feature Perplexity’s AI voice assistant, adding a smart edge to the foldable device. This news follows a teaser video Motorola shared on social media, cleverly morphing the Razr into the word "AI," hinting at what's to come.

But that's not all; Perplexity is also teaming up with T-Mobile's parent company on an innovative "AI Phone." This device is designed to revolutionize how we manage tasks, such as booking flights, all without the hassle of juggling multiple apps.

Insiders speaking to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman revealed that Perplexity has secured a deal with Motorola. This collaboration will see Perplexity's AI assistant featured right alongside Google's Gemini, offering users a choice. Motorola is planning a unique user interface to showcase Perplexity, encouraging customers to give it a go. They're also set to highlight Perplexity in their marketing efforts.

There's more on the horizon, as Perplexity is reportedly in early discussions to bring its Assistant to Samsung devices. While it's still unclear how far along these talks are, it makes perfect sense for Perplexity to aim for a spot as the default AI assistant on Samsung's Galaxy devices, or at least as an option for users to preload. Currently, Samsung leans on Gemini as its default AI assistant and Google as its primary search engine.

Correction, April 17th: A previous version of this article incorrectly stated that Motorola is announcing the Razr this week. The correct date is next week.
