Some phones must be powerful enough to process the audio.

Yeah, pretty much all phones these days have relatively powerful GPUs. However the GPGPU situation is not awesome?? IIRC RenderScript is way more limited than OpenCL…

Though it seems that what they're doing is matching against the database on their GPUs, can't do that on the phone without downloading their huge proprietary dataset :D
