Google Sees Smartphones Continuing Alongside Emerging AI Devices
Google acknowledges that while AI-powered devices like smart glasses and wearables are emerging, smartphones remain central due to their widespread use, robust hardware, and established ecosystems. Smart glasses show promising growth, but standalone AI devices face adoption challenges.

The overall impact of AI on smartphone dominance remains uncertain, according to Google's Senior Product Manager Gadryn Higgs.
