Xiaomi, OPPO, Vivo and Huawei aim to outshine Samsung, Apple in Generative AI

Samsung is preparing to unveil the AI-powered Galaxy S24 series next year. Apple is also working on the development, with products likely coming later next year. Meanwhile, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, and Huawei want to “squeeze” generative AI into their devices before Apple and Samsung.

Chinese phone makers including Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, and Huawei want to fuel generative AI into their newest devices faster than Apple and Samsung because they see it as a chance to turn the tables on their rivals in the global smartphone market.

Forbes reports that China-based smartphone vendors are focusing on three main areas to integrate generative AI into their devices including enhancements of their AI assistants, adding multimodal functions and enabling cross-device functionalities.

Xiaomi’s Xiao Ai has also gained some Generative AI features like song and object recognition, harassment call prevention, transport route suggestions, and medication reminders. Moreover, Lei Jun hopes the functions will become more intuitive and intelligent in the future.

Back in August, Huawei disclosed that its AI assistant, Xiao Yi, would be supported by its Huawei Cloud Pan Gu models. This function is expected to provide multimodal functions and be integrated across Huawei’s product suite from phones to laptops.

Last but not least, Oppo has also said that it would soon launch an upgraded digital assistant called Xiaobu, which is being built on the company’s LLM AndesGPT. Vivo also announced that it would release its self-developed Blue LM that would support its Xiao V assistant in November.
