OnePlus is continuing with its vision towards OnePlus AI with new hardware customization and AI features for its popular devices, including a Plus Key and AI Plus Mind.
The Plus Key is a new hardware customization that will debut on the upcoming OnePlus 13s, which will be available in India only, and is set to roll out to other OnePlus smartphones launching this year. This, alongside a new OnePlus AI brand and a suite of new AI features, is designed to enhance productivity, creativity and security.
As an evolution of the OnePlus Alert Slider, the Plus Key is a customizable button that you can program for various actions like switching sound profiles, launching the camera, initiating translation, or starting recordings. It also activates AI Plus Mind, a new feature designed to quickly save, catalog, and recall key information found on the screen.
When you find information you wish to retain, like schedules, event details, reservations, or listings, you can capture it by pressing the Plus Key or swiping up with three fingers. AI Plus Mind intelligently saves the relevant on-screen content to a dedicated Mind Space, helping you streamline the experience by capturing precisely what’s needed and keeping it organized in one accessible location.
Beyond simple screen capture, AI Plus Mind also leverages AI to analyze content contextually. For instance, it can extract schedule details from an image or text and add them directly to your calendar. AI Search, integrated with AI Plus Mind, supports natural language queries for easy retrieval of saved content. Later this year, AI Plus Mind will also automatically categorize saved content for better organization.
AI Plus Mind will debut on the OnePlus 13s as well and become available on the rest of the OnePlus 13 Series via a future software update, with wider rollout plans for other devices to follow.
OnePlus is actively developing a suite of tools leveraging OnePlus AI to enhance user efficiency and creativity. AI VoiceScribe (coming to India only) enables you to record, summarize, and translate calls and meetings directly within popular messaging, video, and online meeting applications. AI Call Assistant (also India only) on the OnePlus 13s is a OnePlus Dialer that will offer options for automatic Call Summaries or real-time Call Translation during calls. AI Translation consolidates all translation capabilities, including text, live voice, camera-based, and screen translation, into a single, intuitive app, making it easier to understand foreign languages and connect globally. AI Search enables conversational, natural language queries, seamlessly searching local files, settings, notes, and calendars for contextually relevant results. Integrated with AI Plus Mind, it enhances productivity through intuitive, interactive searches.
There’s also AI Reframe, which intelligently analyzes photo scenes, identifies the subject, and adjusts composition, generating multiple creative framing options; and AI Best Face 2.0 (coming this summer via OTA), which enhances group photos by automatically detecting and correcting issues like closed eyes or suboptimal expressions for more polished results. This feature supports images with up to 20 individuals and works even with photos captured on other devices.
Further, OnePlus has unveiled deeper integration with Google Gemini. Coming soon, Gemini will work across OxygenOS apps, such as OnePlus Notes, Clock, and more, as well as Google’s apps. Using Gemini Live with camera and screen sharing, you can have real time conversations about what’s captured by the camera and what’s on the phone screen.
For AI features involving highly sensitive information, OnePlus prioritizes on-device processing within a trusted environment. When more intensive computation is required, the company’s Private Computing Cloud provides a secure, encrypted environment for data processing, designed to keep your data private and inaccessible to unauthorized parties. This is achieved through a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) that spans the device, the cloud servers, and the data transfer process itself.
