Signal processing algorithms on the phones made by a certain company I worked at are mostly written in assembly. The cellular protocols, at least those that use time-division (e.g. GSM), have strict real-time constraints, but mostly they use assembly because every microsecond you can shave off those algorithms is a microsecond you can sleep and conserve power.
