OpenAI Plans AI-Focused Smartphone with MediaTek Chip for 2027 Launch

OpenAI is reportedly developing its first AI-focused smartphone, aiming for mass production by early 2027. The device, described as an 'AI agent phone,' will prioritize AI-driven task completion over traditional app navigation. It is expected to feature a MediaTek processor based on the Dimensity 9600 chip, manufactured using TSMC's N2P process. Advanced AI hardware, including dual neural processing units and enhanced camera capabilities, are planned. This move aligns with OpenAI's broader strategy ahead of a potential IPO and increasing competition in AI-powered smartphones.
