The smartphone world is officially in AI season, with industry giants like Samsung and Google embedding artificial intelligence to make devices smarter and more intuitive. Now, OnePlus has jumped on the AI bandwagon by unveiling its own AI toolkit, set to debut with the highly anticipated OnePlus 13s.
OnePlus calls this new AI initiative “OnePlus AI”, designed to seamlessly integrate artificial intelligence into everyday phone use. The goal is simple: make your device more helpful without complicating your experience. Whether it’s saving important info, translating conversations, or improving photography, OnePlus AI aims to enhance daily tasks quietly and efficiently.
Introducing the Plus Key: Your New AI Shortcut Button
One of the most notable additions is the Plus Key, a customizable hardware button that offers quick access to a variety of functions. Users can assign it to switch their phone to silent mode, launch the camera instantly, or start recording audio — making it a versatile tool for everyday convenience.
But the Plus Key’s true power lies in its integration with AI Plus Mind, a smart assistant feature that understands and organizes your information intelligently. For instance, if you’re viewing a message with appointment details or a screenshot of a restaurant booking, you don’t need to memorize it or scroll endlessly through photos later. By pressing the Plus Key or swiping up with three fingers, your phone automatically captures the screen content, analyzes the type of information, and saves it to a dedicated hub called Mind Space.
This means you can easily retrieve your saved data anytime by simply asking your phone questions like, “What time is my meeting tomorrow?” or “Where did I save that dinner reservation?” The phone’s AI will search your Mind Space and bring you the answer — smart, fast, and hassle-free.
