The mobile development is living one of its most interesting phases. The arrival of lightweight models such as Llama 3.2, more mature frameworks, and the boom of AI-driven apps are redefining how we build software. In this tutorial, we will review the most relevant trends and teach you how to apply them in your own projects.

The big trend of 2025 is clear: AI models running directly on the device. No longer is it necessary to depend on external servers for tasks like text classification, recommendations, or conversational chat.
Main benefits:
– Lower operational cost
– Works offline
– Total privacy
– Faster response time
This already gives you the base for a viral app powered by AI.
Otra tendencia: apps que adaptan interfaz, contenido o comportamiento según el uso. Esto va más allá del “modo oscuro” o “guardar preferencias”.
Ejemplos:
– Reordenar elementos según frecuencia de uso
– Recomendar contenido en función del contexto actual
– Cambiar el flujo de onboarding según la habilidad detectada
This pattern is being adopted by productivity, health and education apps.
The payment experience becomes determinate for retention. The latest trends include:
– Paylinks inside the app
– Native integration with device wallets
– Hybrid freemium models with AI
If you plan to monetize your future app with Llama 3.2, integrate a modern gateway from the start. Stripe and Google Play Billing are heavily investing in simpler SDKs.
Thanks to tools like MUI, React Native Paper or even custom libraries (such as your material-ui-mui), it is now easier to create UI that works on mobile devices, tablets and web.
Design Adaptation Keys:
– Use of CSS Grid and Fluid Layouts
– Breakpoints for Content Accommodation
– Reusable Atomic Components
Interacting with device sensors is again a trend thanks to:– More Accessible Augmented Reality
– Hand Tracking with Mediapipe (which you already have set up)
– Integration with Smart Devices
Idea of use:
– Educational apps with visual recognition
– Fitness with movement analysis
– Games with body interaction
