T-Mobile introduces its Perplexity AI-powered T Phone 3 and T Tablet 2

T-Mobile’s parent company, Deutsche Telekom, is finally releasing its long-awaited AI Phone. The T Phone 3 comes with an all-new Magenta AI operating system based on Android 15, which integrates Perplexity AI at the OS level.

It is joined by the T Tablet 2, which also goes all-in on the AI front. Both devices come with a dedicated Perplexity AI assistant, which aims to replace the traditional app interface found on regular smartphones. The accompanying press release clarifies that the AI assistant accomplishes tasks via pre-installed system apps.

The T Phone 3 features a 6.58-inch LTPS LCD (FHD+ 120Hz) and is equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset. You also get a 5,000 mAh battery with 25W charging and IP54 ingress protection. There’s a 50MP main cam around the back alongside a 2MP macro shooter, while the waterdrop notch on the display houses a 13MP selfie shooter.

T Phone 3 boots Android 15 with Magenta AI on top. T-Mobile is pledging 3 Android upgrades and 6 years of software support. The more interesting bit is the Perplexity AI assistant, which allows you to do anything you’d normally do on your smartphone without jumping between apps.

Users can ask the assistant to compose and send emails and messages, translate text, make appointments or help with online shopping. You can also use the camera to search or ask the assistant to help you with items on your screen.

T Phone 3 comes in Icy Silver and is priced at €149. It will also be available for free with certain monthly plans from the carrier.
