Features New Hardware Customization and a Suite of AI Features Focused on Productivity, Creativity, Personalization and Security

Global technology brand, OnePlus, today shared its vision for a future centred around personalized artificial intelligence for everyone. Supporting this vision, OnePlus unveiled the Plus Key, a new hardware customization which will debut on the upcoming OnePlus 13s, alongside a new OnePlus AI brand and a suite of new AI features designed to enhance productivity, creativity and security.

“The foundation of OnePlus AI is built upon a deep understanding of our users, and they’ve told us they want AI to help them work smart, play hard and be their authentic selves,” said Arthur Lam, Director of OxygenOS and AI Strategy at OnePlus. “That’s why our mission for OnePlus AI is to help our users go All In On Life, creating personalised AI solutions based around our user’s unique wants and needs.”

Plus Key: A New Gateway to Personalized AI

Complementing the aim of a personalized AI experience, OnePlus introduced the all-new Plus Key. This customizable hardware button debuts on the upcoming OnePlus 13s and is planned to rollout across all OnePlus smartphones launching this year.

As an evolution of the iconic OnePlus Alert Slider, the Plus Key is a customizable button programmable for various actions like switching sound profiles, launching the camera, initiating translation, or starting recordings. Crucially, the Plus Key also activates AI Plus Mind, a new feature designed to quickly save, catalog, and recall key information found on the screen. This capability marks a major step towards delivering truly personalized AI.

When users find information they wish to retain – such as schedules, event details, reservations, or listings – they 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 users combat information overload by capturing precisely what is needed and keeping it organized in one accessible location.

Beyond simple screen capture, AI Plus Mind leverages AI to analyze content contextually. For instance, it can extract schedule details from an image or text and add them directly to the user’s 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 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.

Work Smarter, Play Harder with OnePlus AI

OnePlus is actively developing a suite of tools leveraging OnePlus AI to enhance user efficiency and creativity:

AI VoiceScribe: Enables users to record, summarize, and translate calls and meetings directly within popular messaging, video, and online meeting applications.
AI Call Assistant (coming to India): On the OnePlus 13s, the OnePlus Dialler will offer options for automatic Call Summaries or real-time Call Translation during calls.
AI Translation: Consolidates all translation capabilities – 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: 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.
AI Reframe: Intelligently analyzes photo scenes, identifies the subject, and adjusts composition, generating multiple creative framing options for users to choose from.
AI Best Face 2.0 (coming this summer through OTA): 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.

Furthermore, 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, making it a seamless AI experience.

With Gemini Live with camera and screen sharing, users will have real time conversations about what is captured by their camera and what is on their phone screen, creating a more practical, engaging, and intimate interaction with their surroundings.

Private Computing Cloud: Balancing Privacy and Performance

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 user data private and inaccessible to unauthorized 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.

With the hybrid approach, OnePlus ensures user privacy remains protected while delivering seamless and powerful AI performance.

Building a Personalized and Secure AI Future

OnePlus AI embodies an approach founded on understanding user needs and prioritizing data security through innovations like the PCC.

Through these advancements and a dedication to continuous innovation, OnePlus aims to deliver deeply personalized and secure AI experiences via an intelligent AI operating system that seamlessly integrates into and enhances users’ lives.
