Android Creator Is Building A Smart Phone That Can Mimick You On Calls

When it comes to the currently hottest trends in the smartphones market, they are quite simple. Either the developers try to improve the smartphones’ cameras to be able to take more beautiful pictures or get more light, or they try to improve the artificial intelligence of their phones to make them more adapted and capable of completing more complex instructions. There are also cases of developers who have great ambitions and try to do both of those things at the same time.

If you are a tech lover in general or just an Android lover in particular, there is a high chance that you have heard of the name Andy Rubin. After all, he is the guy who took the main responsibility in the creation of the Android operating system. Since the day he developed the most used smartphone operating system in the whole world, Andy Rubin has moved on and found a startup called Essential Products with a great ambition to take the artificial intelligence challenge to a completely new level with a smartphone that can essentially pretend as yourself.

Back in last year during May, Andy Rubin had announced Essential Products’ very first device, the smartphone named Essential Phone. Despite the device having some really interesting features, it never managed to get a truly high amount of sales. The situation was so incredibly bad that Essential Products’ management team had to seriously consider if it should start selling itself in this year previously. After doing some researches, I was able to determine that the core problem of that situation was apparently the fact that the Essential Phone did not have enough differences between itself and the scores that its opponents have established already in the worldwide smartphone market. That unfortunate situation is in fact what makes the Essential Products startup to halt their development plan for a home speaker and focus completely to building a brand-new and completely unique smartphone that will differentiate itself thoroughly when it is compared to any other products currently available on the smartphone market.

This brand-new phone is promised not to be like any single device that you have recently seen on the smartphone market. Bloomberg has just revealed that an internal source from Essential Products had told them that this new smartphone will not have a big display like what all the other phone makers have been trying to make, instead, it will have a quite tiny display. Thus, the users would have to interact with the phone mostly through the use of voice commands. It has been reported that the phone will be powered by a new and improved version of the artificial intelligence software that Essential has developed.

The main physiology of this phone is the fact that it would have the ability to go through all of your errands for each day like responding to received emails, replying to the texts other send your way, making some scheduled appointments, etc. If you think that it is something all the other phones can do, then you are completely in the wrong, as while the other phones that were made by other companies do have the ability to do something like those. However, they all require the users’ input while this Essential Products phone will do all of those things with essentially no user input at all.

With the brand-new Duplex tech that Google has recently started providing, the Essential Products’ development team has tweaked the natural language abilities as well as the speech recognition technique of Google Assistant so much that it now can make sounds that are completely identical to what a human makes when it is talking to another human through the phone line. However, Essential Products also wants the AI to learn specifically from you so it will correspond just like what you would say. With this method, all of the communications will be done by the machine without the contacts ever knowing and you ever having to lift even one finger, how cool is that? You can also make a call from this device and then just let it takes over.

If you are thinking: “Wait! This is just like a science fiction film!” then you are completely right, as it is intentional. Andy Rubin is really in need of a clear win for his startup. Thus, his device needs to be able to catch the consumers’ eyes. This idea means that the phone must be able to give the clients something they have never ever seen before as this may just be the one and only chance for them to beat the Pixel, Galaxy, and iPhone brands.

Andy Rubin stated in a Bloomberg interview in the last year that if he could get to where our phone is a virtual model of yourself, then you can be enjoying your beautiful life without ever having to touch the phone and let it do things for you. With this, he believed that he could solve a part of those addictive behaviors.
