Smartphones are increasingly becoming our AI-powered assistants, but their voice call quality has barely changed in years. Well, Nokia wants to fix that – and it's claiming to have made the "world's first immersive voice and audio call" using a new codec.
The phone call was made using a new IVAS (Immersive Voice and Audio Services) codec, which is part of the incoming '5G Advanced' standard. According to Nokia's blog post, the codec creates a "three-dimensional sound experience" that makes chats feel "more lifelike and engaging".
