Elon Musk is about to build a Tesla smartphone that would change everything about the smartphone
world because the Tesla model Pi smartphone will be able to communicate with your brains
which means that you can now not only interact with your phone via the touch screen but also
with your mind.
If that caught your attention, it makes a lot of sense for you to stick till the end
of the video to know a lot more.
My name is Alex and welcome to “AI News Daily”.

With all that done, let's get started.
According to several sources, global smartphone sales to the end-user are getting bigger,
with a sale of 328.8 million units just in the second quarter of 2021, which is an increase
of more than 10.8 percent year over year.
The overall global smartphone sales grew 10.2% despite supply constraints as a result of
lockdowns imposed due to COVID-19, which also led to production disruptions and component
shortages.
Many factories were shut down in India and Vietnam due to the second wave of COVID-19,
along with the closure of retail businesses and restrictions on online deliveries.
It did affect smartphone sales negatively in the second quarter after a strong start
at the beginning of 2021.
Smartphone giant Samsung expanded its 5G smartphone lineup at entry and mid range prices to target
growth opportunities in the 5G segment.
During the second quarter of 2021, the company maintained its number one position among the
top five global smartphone vendors.
But even then, Samsung's year-over-year growth slowed due to supply chain constraints and
production disruptions.
Then we have Xiaomi at the number two spot.
Xiaomi's worldwide smartphone sales overtook Apple in the second quarter, placing Xiaomi
at the number two spot for the first time.
Xiaomi registered an 80.5 percent growth in its smartphone sales because of its stronger
online presence and fast expansion in global markets beyond the Asia Pacific, led by investments
in retail chains and partnerships with communication service providers.
Then we have Apple, whose sales grew about 28.3 percent and the market share increased
by 22.1 percent year over year.
So you know that the smartphone world is highly competitive at the same time; top players
are selling more smartphones than ever before, despite production disruptions and component
shortages.
Tesla might be a pioneer when it comes to making electric vehicles.
But it looks like Tesla is diversifying its product portfolio by stepping into a smartphone
business.
Yes, you heard it right, and this happens to be the most exciting news from Tesla, and
for a good reason.
So how exactly is Tesla going to stay relevant and different from the other manufacturers?
The answer to that would be that Tesla's phone is going to be a satellite-based one.
Yes, a satellite phone, so Tesla is going to compete in a league of its own with its
smartphones.
So what exactly is this Tesla phone all about?
Well, the rumors suggest that the tesla phone will be known as the model Pi, and right now,
everything about it is wild speculation as we don't have any official confirmations from
Tesla.
Once Tesla model pi is out, we could expect the smartphone to be equipped with Qualcomm's
flagship Snapdragon 800 series Processor, or maybe Tesla could develop their own processor,
which will make this smartphone much better because of the Proper integration between
hardware and software just like what we have with apple.
You could also expect up to two terabytes of internal storage and a super Amoled display
like most flagships out there.
The Tesla phone's major Unique selling point would be the fact that it is going to be a
completely satellite-based smartphone because of Starlink, which happens to be SpaceX's
ambitious project of delivering satellite-based Internet all over the world.
It's exciting to see a Starlink based smartphone with download speeds up to 150 Mbps, and you
might even be able to mine cryptocurrencies with this smartphone because Elon loves cryptos.
The Model Pi is rumored to have four cameras, along with solar charging, and the back panel
will change color depending upon how light is incident onto the panel.
So this is a smartphone where you don't want to put a case on, even though you might be
forced to, considering the price point of this smartphone.
But how exactly is Tesla doing this?
Well, developers might have created a photochromic coating that would change color with various
pigments under the influence of sunlight.
According to the renders, the front camera is also not visible, and it looks like a camera
might be located under the display, or it could be a pop-up camera.
The best part about the Tesla phone would be the solar panel for recharging.
Even though we don't think Tesla is going to place a solar panel behind the phone because
that would force you to keep your phone under the sun for quite a lot of time, and that
is not an ideal thing to do.
Most people want to use their smartphones while charging, so it makes a lot of sense
for Tesla to actually have a solar panel on the charger and that charger would be connected
to the smartphone via a cable, or Tesla could just build a solar-powered power bank so that
the phone can be charged during the night as well.
And we think this decision makes a lot of sense rather than directly having solar panels
onto the Tesla smartphone.
The smartphone will also be able to integrate really well with Tesla cars, and this is happy
news for Tesla owners because soon you might have a Tesla based ecosystem of products just
like what we have with Apple products of today, where everything just works really well.
We know that Tesla cars are becoming huge in the automotive industry, and Tesla is just
growing massively with a record number of deliveries, and soon Tesla might be delivering
more than one million cars per year.
So it makes a lot of sense for Tesla to build a smartphone that would just very well integrate
with their own vehicles, and this would benefit Tesla users a lot more than you might think.
You might also find advanced level data encryption with the Tesla smartphone because the company
developed its own proprietary protocol for encrypting user data and will use end to end
encryption which means safety is a priority for Tesla.
Most importantly, the Model Pi is also rumored to have a brain phone interface, all thanks
to Elon Musk's other company, Neuralink, as this one happens to be a company that is developing
ultra-high bandwidth brain-machine interfaces to connect humans and computers.
So a Cyborg future is something that will step out from science fiction to being something
real.
The Tesla model PI would be the very first stepping stone for that inevitable cyborg
future of ours.
Why exactly is Tesla stepping into the smartphone world?
Well, it's very clear that the smartphone market is growing a lot more than ever before,
and Tesla would also want something that works very well with their vehicles other than the
app so that users will be greeted with a great ownership experience with tesla vehicles which
means that owners will have hassle-free experience owning a Tesla vehicle because of the Tesla
phone.
Undoubtedly the Tesla phone might be one of a kind device because it is going to be a
satellite smartphone, which means Tesla is competing in a segment that is created by
themselves.
Sure, satellite phones are not a new thing in the market, and they have been around for
some time now, but none of those other satellite phones come with Starlink connectivity making
the Tesla model Pi the very first smartphone to have Starlink integration.
Maybe Elon Musk wants to create a communication device for the people of Mars in the future,
which is why satellite connectivity is the major focus with the Tesla model Pi and this
sounds very exciting.
Now!
Will Tesla's smartphone change the way we look at Smartphones, just like how Tesla revolutionized
the automotive industry?
Experts believe that a smartphone from Tesla will take the Smartphone industry by storm
as this smartphone will be what the original iphone was to the smartphone industry.
Researchers of the smartphone market also predicted a severe drop in sales for competitors.
But again, we think that Tesla is looking forward to competing in the luxury smartphone
world.
The release date of the Tesla smartphone is still a secret.
We just have some wild speculations about what the phone is going to be, all thanks
to the Smartphone designer Antonio de Rosa who is an expert in the field as he created
exciting concepts for Apple products.
It makes a lot of sense why the Tesla Model Pi is discussed so much in the smartphone
world.
It could be because of how exciting Elon Musk has been over the years, and people expect
the same kind of excitement with his products as well, especially during a time when Tesla's
vehicles are doing extremely well.
If all of these features that we mentioned in this video appears to be true because right
now it's just wild speculation, then the smartphone market and the Internet is definitely going
to break once the smartphone is announced because the Tesla model pi would be a phone,
unlike anything we have in the market.
And that's a wrap for today's video.
