The cornerstone of this new AI initiative is the Plus Key, a customizable hardware button that will make its debut on the upcoming OnePlus 13s. This key represents an evolution of the beloved Alert Slider, offering users a versatile shortcut to a myriad of functions. Beyond its programmable capabilities for tasks like switching sound profiles, launching the camera, or initiating translations, the Plus Key serves as the primary gateway to activating AI Plus Mind.
AI Plus Mind is designed to combat information overload by intelligently capturing, organizing, and recalling on-screen content. With a simple press of the Plus Key or a three-finger swipe gesture, users can save crucial information such as event details, travel itineraries, booking confirmations, or even interesting articles into a dedicated “Mind Space.” What sets AI Plus Mind apart is its ability to contextually analyze the saved content. For instance, it can extract event timings from a screenshot and automatically add them to your calendar, or categorize information for streamlined access. This intelligent processing goes beyond mere storage, transforming your phone into a dynamic, proactive assistant.
OnePlus’s vision for personalized AI extends beyond these core features, encompassing a suite of advanced AI tools currently in development:
- AI VoiceScribe: This feature revolutionizes communication by enabling users to record, summarize, and translate conversations during calls and meetings across popular messaging platforms and virtual conferencing apps.
- AI Call Assistant (India exclusive): For users in India, the OnePlus Dialer app on the OnePlus 13s will offer automatic call summaries and live translation capabilities, enhancing clarity and reducing language barriers.
- AI Translation: This unified application integrates text, live audio, camera, and screen translation into a single, user-friendly interface, making global communication seamless.
- AI Search: Working in tandem with AI Plus Mind, AI Search allows for conversational queries across local files, settings, notes, and calendars, making it effortless to retrieve stored information using natural language.
- AI Reframe: For photography enthusiasts, AI Reframe analyzes photo compositions and provides multiple creative framing suggestions, helping users achieve the perfect shot.
- AI Best Face 2.0 (coming soon via OTA): This upcoming feature promises to enhance group photos by automatically correcting closed eyes and less flattering expressions, supporting images with up to 20 people, even those captured on other devices.
Furthermore, OnePlus has announced a deeper partnership with Google Gemini, integrating Gemini’s powerful AI capabilities across OxygenOS apps, such as OnePlus Notes and Clock, as well as Google’s own suite. This collaboration will lead to features like Gemini Live, enabling real-time conversations and context-aware assistance through camera and screen sharing.
OnePlus is also placing a strong emphasis on user privacy and security within its AI framework. Employing a hybrid processing approach, sensitive data will be processed on-device, while more intensive tasks will leverage the company’s Private Computing Cloud (PCC). The PCC utilizes end-to-end encryption and a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) to ensure that user information remains private and secure throughout the processing and transfer process.
The AI Plus Mind feature will first be available on the OnePlus 13s, launching on June 5, 2025, and will subsequently roll out to other OnePlus 13 Series devices via a software update, with plans for broader expansion to more models in the future. This move by OnePlus signals a significant leap in the evolution of smartphone intelligence, promising a more intuitive, efficient, and deeply personalized user experience.
