Magenta Launches Affordable AI Phone to Make Artificial Intelligence Mainstream

With the AI Phone, Magenta is taking the next step in the world of artificial intelligence – and at a unique price. This makes artificial intelligence accessible not just to tech enthusiasts with high-end devices, but to everyone.

The AI Phone supports many everyday questions, such as:

• What should I cook today? I have ingredients, but no recipe.
• The child wants a bedtime story. I can't think of anything.
• Where will my favorite band play their next concert?
• Why are my flowers drooping again?
• And how do I keep fit even though I hardly have any time for sports?

The Perplexity Assistant is an integrated AI assistant. A press of the magenta button answers all kinds of questions. This makes the AI phone a practical everyday helper. Examples of use cases include:

• Personal secretary: makes calendar entries, writes emails to contacts and summarizes extensive content
• Language genius: helps with translations of menus, documents or conversations
• Exclusive travel agency: plans travel routes, acts as a city guide, makes restaurant reservations or orders an Uber
• Nutritionist and trainer: gives cooking tips, lists ingredients, creates training and nutrition plans
• Shopping expert: recommends stylish additions to your look or interior, finds the best deals and gifts for loved ones
• Entertainer: finds the best concerts, books and films – to suit your taste
• Tutor: solves math problems, explains complicated topics in a simple and understandable way

A multitalented AI assistant, it provides information about queries, on-screen content, and objects in front of the camera. Queries can be made both verbally and in writing. In addition to internet research, the assistant performs numerous tasks, such as calendar entries, emails, calls, messages, navigation, and videos.

The AI Phone and AI Tablet are bundled together under a plan for €0. The price also includes an 18-month Perplexity Pro subscription—in addition to the Perplexity Assistant. This stays permanently on the devices. Another bonus with the AI Phone: a 3-month Picsart Pro license for avatars.

In addition to Austria, the AI Phone and the AI Tablet are now available in Germany, Greece, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Hungary.

Devices bring other benefits besides AI

Deutsche Telekom's AI devices are coming to market as new models in the T Phone series: the T Phone 3 and the T Tablet 2. The phone is a powerful all-rounder at an unbeatable price. With its large format, eye-friendly TCL NXTPAPER screen technology, and three integrated screen modes (ink paper, color paper, and standard mode), the tablet is ideal for productive and creative moments—for example, for reading, studying, working, or drawing. A matching T-Pen stylus is available separately for €29.90. The Pro version of the AI Phone will follow later this year. The devices impress with fast performance thanks to an upgraded chipset and shorter loading times. The AI Phone also has modern AI tools integrated into the camera. Thanks to the partnership with Picsart, AI avatars can be created and backgrounds can be edited with ease. The devices' sustainability features are another plus. The T Phone 3 has received the #GreenMagenta label and an excellent score of 90/100 in the smartphone Eco Rating. The T Tablet 2 is a prime example of circular economy: its back is made of 75% post-consumer recycled plastic.

Smart extras with Magenta AI

Magenta AI is also launching alongside the AI devices. This gives customers who don't want to buy a new smartphone free access to selected AI tools. The "Magenta AI" button in the MyMagenta app provides access to Perplexity's answer engine, as well as AI background editing for photos via Picsart. Further partnerships in the field of artificial intelligence will be made available gradually.
