Technology has grown drastically in the last few decades, pushing most industries into overdrive with new and innovative methods. Now, the era of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has swept us away in a wave of automated, intuitive, and adaptive structures. While the folks in Silicon Valley have mostly been kept busy testing out chatbots and machine learning programs, AI has also seeped further into every sector along the line as well.
For mobile gaming, AI quickly became a tool for reformation and evolution. From manufacturers to video game developers, the uses for AI in gaming soon became countless and essential. More than anything, mobile gaming is a field of rapid expansion and dynamic progress, meaning that it needs frameworks that can keep up, like AI. Today, we’ll be looking at how AI has changed the mobile gaming industry, not only at REDMAGIC, but on a larger scale as well.
How AI Can Be Used in Mobile Gaming
Before we get into the specific ways AI has elevated mobile gaming, let’s look at the big picture of what artificial intelligence represents. The general sentiment towards AI in most industries is positive, allowing us to program tedious tasks, eliminate room for error, and offer personalized solutions in real-time. For mobile gaming, AI is a springboard to create a more adaptive, dynamic, and upscale experience.
By definition, AI is mostly used to generate content, automate processes, and ensure accuracy for large amounts of data. This is particularly useful in all areas of mobile gaming, where secure testing, real-time custom adjustments, and optimized gameplay mechanics are integral. Now, let’s focus on the AI features that make mobile gaming reach new levels.
Settings Optimization
Naturally, one of the top reasons to rely on AI in your game is if it makes you play better. AI programs enable your device to intelligently adapt and adjust settings accordingly, enhancing GPU speeds and CPU performance, maintaining stable frame rates, and optimizing power consumption. In our latest REDMAGIC devices, AI algorithms and data are used to optimize settings and make recommendations that would improve your gameplay in real-time.
Google Gemini and Mora Assistance
REDMAGIC has partnered up with Google Gemini to provide interactive, comprehensive, and smart AI assistance as well. With Gemini, users can effortlessly generate content, answer complex questions, and get an array of tasks done with ease. Google states that Gemini is grounded in the search engine’s understanding of authoritative information and is trained to “generate responses that are relevant to the context of your prompt and in line with what you’re looking for.”
In our REDMAGIC smartphones and tablets, Gemini was integrated to make everyday tasks easier and more efficient. Along with answering questions and circle-to-search features, Gemini can also edit images with ease, changing backgrounds and generating effects, or rendering new images based on prompts with Imagen 4, their high-quality text-to-image model.
The AI assistant also ensures seamless communication across language barriers by setting the call language to the other party's language, translating it into a language the user can understand, and enabling playback. It can also convert spoken language into subtitles during calls with real-time translations.
To set up your Google Gemini on your REDMAGIC device, simply go to Settings > Features > System Navigation > Virtual Navigation, then long-press the home button. Alternatively, you can go to Settings > Features > Wake up Google Gemini, then long-press the power button.
Mora is another great REDMAGIC assistant feature that allows you to personalize settings on your device for real-time interactions and advice from our dainty mascot. While she may turn a few heads, Mora is mostly there to offer a slight anime edge to your experience while providing custom features, wallpapers, and voice controls that will keep you entertained and informed effortlessly.
AI-Enhanced Game Space
Game Space has always been a major draw for REDMAGIC devices. This central gaming hub allows our users to manage, optimize, and curate the ideal gaming experience with customizable settings and data-driven insights, all in one place. In our 11 Pro rendition, Game Space was further upgraded with several AI-powered features to fill a few gaps.
These new AI features amplify and enable voice controls, real-time management, and performance-enhancing tools. First up, your Personal AI Coach provides real-time strategy advice and tips during the game, allowing you to plan and personalize gameplay with informed tactics.
Next, the Voice Control feature ensures effortless hands-free commands by setting keywords and trigger points, while the Win Rate Predictor tracks performance and displays your current game win probability. Lastly, Mora Mouth Replacement allows you to handle in-game conversations using Mora’s distinct voice and is compatible with all games for an immersive experience.
On a more general note, AI has quickly become a core element in transforming the way we interact with the game, providing custom missions, rewards based on status, and content personalized for each player in real-time. AI has also allowed predictive modelling structures to analyze data, anticipate moves, and create custom incentives, giving developers all the ammo they need to maintain specific audiences.
AI in Game Development
While AI in game development is still a touchy subject, with some still on the fence about the creative integrity of the process, most studios are already implementing AI across the board. According to BCG, around 50% of game studios are now using AI in their workflows. Developers are looking towards AI to create smarter NPCs, dynamic environments, and more complex code structures.
However, they also maintain that leaders in the industry need to establish clear principles for AI deployment that include transparency, curation, and the redeployment of savings into more ambitious creativity. Ultimately, “AI should expand what games can be, not erode the creative canvas.”

In their article about the topic, Adjust noted that AI algorithms are increasingly evolving and are now capable of dynamically creating levels, textures, and entire game environments for unique experiences in every gaming session. They state that this not only enhances player engagement but also allows developers to create more expansive and varied game worlds without the need for extensive manual design.
AI has allowed developers to improve real-time interactions with NPCs, ensure faster global rollouts with AI voice acting, and automate several time-consuming processes for a more cost-effective and rapid production. The use of AI has also driven up the potential and demand for improved hardware in the mobile gaming industry. With so many complex and AI-enabled processes taking place, gaming devices will need to stay ahead to keep up.
AI Elevation in Mobile Gaming
The mobile gaming industry has had its fair share of innovative sparks within the last few years as the sector has grown in popularity. Today, AI in mobile gaming has streamlined processing, development, and rollouts across the globe for video game developers and device manufacturers alike. While the jury is still out on the public reception of generative AI in video game content, AI processing has already infiltrated most levels of the mobile gaming industry, creating adaptive gameplay, cost-efficient development processes, and personalized experiences.
At REDMAGIC, we believe that innovation is key to creating the world we aspire to have. While AI may still be a little rusty around the edges, it can be used as a transformative and enlightening tool in the mobile gaming industry at large. That said, we look forward to seeing where AI will take us next and how it can be integrated into processes to ensure our fans have the best gaming experience possible.
