OnePlus is stepping up its game in the smartphone industry by adding AI features to its devices, following the trend set by tech giants like Google, Samsung, and Apple. These companies have already introduced AI capabilities in their devices, with Google's Pixel phones, Samsung's Galaxy S24 series, and Apple's upcoming iOS 18.
Specifically, OnePlus has launched a new AI update for its OnePlus 12 and OnePlus 11 models, though it's initially available only in China.
The latest update, identified as version PHB110_14.0.0.403(CN01), brings a host of AI features to OnePlus 12 and OnePlus 11 users in China. There's an expectation for this update to be made available globally, including in India, broadening the reach of these advanced functionalities.
This update introduces several key AI features. The AI Summarizer and AI article summarization tools are designed to simplify how users interact with information, making it easier to understand and manage. For instance, the AI Summarizer can create brief summaries of phone calls, identifying important details like time, location, and next steps.
This is somewhat similar to Google’s Magic Eraser feature, though OnePlus has also added its own twist with the 'AIGC Remover.' This allows users to cleanly remove unwanted objects or individuals from photos, enhancing the editing process.
Additionally, OnePlus has updated the Breeno Touch feature for the OnePlus 11 and OnePlus 12, which now better recognizes on-screen content and quickly provides relevant services or information based on what it detects.
The AI update also includes several other improvements aimed at enhancing the user experience. These include a new “device motion & orientation” permission, which offers more control over the device's sensors.
Users can now unlock their phones using their fingerprints without waking up the screen first, and there's a more versatile screen recording indicator, which can be displayed in a floating window or in the status bar.
Overall, this AI update by OnePlus is a significant step forward in integrating AI into smartphones, making the OnePlus 12 and OnePlus 11 more intuitive and user-friendly.
As OnePlus rolls out new AI features, it's clear the company is keen on keeping pace with the technological advancements in the smartphone industry. Currently available only in China, there's keen anticipation for the global release of these features, signaling a growing demand for AI-driven functionalities in smartphones.
