Perplexity AI and Deutsche Telekom announced partnership at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025 to build an AI Phone. The companies plan to unveil the device later this year and start selling from 2026 at a price of less than $1,000.
The phone will run “Magenta AI,” while giving users access to Perplexity Assistant, Google Cloud AI, ElevenLabs, Picsart and a bunch of other AI tools.
“The trusted AI companion, our AI Phone, will help you in many situations: find reliable answers with reference to the source. Conveniently book a restaurant or taxi. Let an AI assistant do your shopping. All without having to switch between apps. Intuitively and preferably by voice,“ the company said in a blog post.
Customers who do not wish to buy the new smartphone will also have access to the AI tools like Perplexity’s assistant on other devices via the MeinMagenta app. This summer, the carrier said they will be adding some AI features from Google Cloud AI, ElevenLabs and Picsart onto the app.
