Perplexity’s AI voice assistant will reportedly play a significant role in the upcoming Motorola Razr device expected to be announced this week, Bloomberg reports. The news comes after Motorola posted a teaser video of the Razr on social media last week, showing the foldable device animate into the word AI.

Sources speaking to Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman say Perplexity has a deal with Motorola to feature its AI assistant alongside Google’s Gemini as an option. Motorola will have a special user interface to interact with Perplexity to encourage customers to try it, and the company will feature Perplexity in marketing. The partnership is expected to be announced this week, perhaps on the April 24th date Motorola provided in the teaser for the Razr.

Perplexity Assistant is also reportedly coming to Samsung devices, although talks are still early, according to Bloomberg‘s sources. It’s hard to know how advanced those conversations are, but it’s easy to understand why Perplexity would want to work out a deal to get its assistant set up as the default one on Galaxy devices, or at least as an option for users to preload. Samsung already uses Gemini as its default AI assistant and Google as its main search engine provider. One of Perplexity’s key products is a competing AI search engine.

The Samsung deal could also promote Perplexity heavily in the Galaxy Store, according to Bloomberg. Samsung’s NEXT investment has already put money into Perplexity, and it reportedly will make another one in the future. Perplexity is also working with T-Mobile’s parent company to build a new “AI Phone” that could do tasks like booking flights without needing the user to interact with apps — the “agentic” future that many AI products are betting on.
