Infinix, a renowned phone company known for its fast-charging technology, has made waves in the smartphone market once again. This time, they have introduced ChatGPT, the famous chatbot with humanoid responses, into their latest Android phone, the Infinix Zero 30. Infinix is the first company to bring ChatGPT to a smartphone as a deeply integrated virtual assistant.
The virtual assistant, named “Folax,” has been revamped to generate responses using ChatGPT on the Infinix Zero 30. To accomplish this, Folax relies on Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI APIs, a set of tools that allow companies to harness the power of ChatGPT for their products. Unlike other chatbot apps that simply provide quirky responses, Infinix’s implementation goes much further. It leverages OpenAI’s GPT-3.5 Large Language Model (LLM) to understand and execute complex instructions. This gives Folax the ability to take action based on multiple commands simultaneously, surpassing the capabilities of Google Assistant.
Google has made significant advancements in generative AI tools, but these enhancements have not been fully integrated into Google Assistant. While unofficial methods to replace Google Assistant with ChatGPT have emerged, they require expertise in tinkering with the Android system. In contrast, Infinix’s Folax offers a more seamless alternative to Google Assistant.
Folax has several advantages over Google Assistant. Firstly, it provides more detailed and nuanced responses due to the training of ChatGPT on over 45 terabytes of text-based data. Google Assistant, on the other hand, primarily relies on web search results and often redirects users to read the answers on their own.
Additionally, Folax excels at handling complex questions with multiple parts. It can process and respond to a series of questions uninterrupted, while Google Assistant tends to focus only on the first question and may disregard subsequent ones.
Another impressive feature of ChatGPT is its ability to adopt different personas. Folax can play various roles, making it useful for scenarios like job interviews or adding flair to conversations. In contrast, Google Assistant is limited to mimicking the voice of certain celebrities.
However, there are some limitations to Folax. As ChatGPT is not directly connected to the internet, it may provide outdated or incorrect information beyond its training data, which goes up to July 2021. Folax can fetch search results, but it cannot use them to generate responses. Also, like any generative AI, Folax is prone to making errors or providing incorrect answers, albeit confidently.
Apart from its AI capabilities, the Infinix Zero 30 offers several notable features. It boasts a 120Hz Full HD+ curved AMOLED display, a 108MP camera, a sub-flagship MediaTek Dimensity 8020 chipset, and 68-watt fast charging. One standout feature is the front camera’s ability to record 4K videos at 60 frames per second, a rarity in smartphones within this price range.
Infinix has set a new benchmark by integrating ChatGPT into their smartphone. With Folax, users can experience an advanced virtual assistant that surpasses the limitations of traditional voice assistants. While Google’s AI advancements remain underutilized in Google Assistant, Infinix has taken the initiative to bring ChatGPT directly to users, offering a more intelligent and versatile virtual assistant experience.
