OnePlus is making a bold statement about the future of mobile technology, unveiling a comprehensive vision centred around personalised artificial intelligence. Forget generic AI experiences; OnePlus is building a future where your phone adapts to you, enhancing productivity, fueling creativity, and bolstering security like never before. This ambitious push is spearheaded by a new OnePlus AI brand and a suite of innovative features, all accessible through the groundbreaking Plus Key – an evolution of their iconic Alert Slider.

The Plus Key: Your New Gateway to Intelligent Interaction

The star of the show, and arguably the most tangible representation of OnePlus’s AI ambitions, is the Plus Key. This customizable hardware button, set to debut on the upcoming OnePlus 13s in Asia and roll out across all OnePlus smartphones launching this year, is much more than just a button. It’s a direct gateway to a personalised AI experience.

Evolving from the much-loved Alert Slider, the Plus Key offers unparalleled customisation. Imagine instantly switching sound profiles, launching your camera, initiating real-time translations, or even starting recordings with a single press. But its most impactful function lies in activating AI Plus Mind.

AI Plus Mind: Taming Information Overload

AI Plus Mind is designed to combat the deluge of digital information we all face. With a simple press of the Plus Key or a three-finger swipe, users can effortlessly save, catalogue, and recall crucial on-screen information. Whether it’s a critical schedule, event details, a restaurant reservation, or a listing, AI Plus Mind intelligently captures the relevant content and stores it in a dedicated Mind Space. This ensures you capture precisely what you need, keeping it organised and readily accessible.

But AI Plus Mind goes beyond simple screen capture. It leverages AI to contextually analyse content. For instance, it can extract schedule details from an image or text and automatically add them to your calendar. Later this year, AI Plus Mind will even categorise your saved content for even better organisation. Plus, with AI Search integrated, you can retrieve saved content using natural language queries, making information retrieval incredibly intuitive. AI Plus Mind will first arrive on the OnePlus 13s, with a wider rollout to the rest of the OnePlus 13 Series via a software update, and eventually to other devices.

Work Smarter, Play Harder with OnePlus AI

OnePlus isn’t just talking about personalised AI; they’re delivering a powerful suite of tools designed to make your daily life more efficient and creative:

• AI VoiceScribe: Imagine recording, summarising, and translating calls and meetings directly within your favourite messaging, video, and online meeting applications. AI VoiceScribe makes it a reality.
• AI Call Assistant (India focus): For users in India with the OnePlus 13s, the OnePlus Dialer will offer options for automatic call summaries or real-time call translation during calls, streamlining communication.
• AI Translation: All translation capabilities – text, live voice, camera-based, and screen translation – are consolidated into a single, intuitive app, breaking down language barriers and fostering global connections.
• AI Search: This isn’t your average search. AI Search understands conversational, natural language queries, seamlessly searching local files, settings, notes, and calendars for contextually relevant results. When combined with AI Plus Mind, it truly elevates productivity.
• AI Reframe: Unleash your inner photographer. AI Reframe intelligently analyses photo scenes, identifies the subject, and suggests multiple creative framing options, giving you a wider artistic palette.
• AI Best Face 2.0 (coming this summer): Say goodbye to closed eyes in group photos! This feature automatically detects and corrects issues like closed eyes or suboptimal expressions in group shots, even supporting up to 20 individuals and working with photos captured on other devices.

Furthermore, OnePlus is deepening its collaboration with Google. Soon, Google Gemini will be seamlessly integrated across OxygenOS apps like OnePlus Notes and Clock, as well as Google’s applications, promising a truly unified AI experience. With Gemini Live with camera and screen sharing, users can have real-time conversations about what’s captured by their camera and what’s on their phone screen, offering a more engaging and intimate interaction with their surroundings.

Private Computing Cloud: Powering AI with Privacy in Mind

OnePlus understands that powerful AI capabilities often involve sensitive data. To address this, they’ve implemented a hybrid approach to AI processing. For highly sensitive information, on-device processing within a trusted environment is prioritised. When more intensive computation is required, their Private Computing Cloud steps in.

This secure, encrypted environment for data processing is designed to keep user data private and inaccessible to unauthorised parties. This is achieved through a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) that spans the user’s device, the cloud servers, and the data transfer process itself. This commitment to privacy ensures that while you’re enjoying seamless and powerful AI performance, your data remains protected.

OnePlus’s vision for personalised AI is ambitious and exciting. With the Plus Key as a dedicated entry point and a comprehensive suite of AI features, they aim to empower users to truly “Go All In On Life.” What AI feature are you most excited to see in action?
