OnePlus is enhancing its smartphone lineup, including the OnePlus 12 and the previous OnePlus 11, with a ColorOS update that introduces a host of artificial intelligence (AI) features. The move is in line with trends in the smartphone industry, with Samsung and Google also emphasizing AI-based features in their flagship Galaxy S24 series and Pixel 8 series, respectively.
As Mishaal Rahman reported in X, the February ColorOS update was originally discovered by a Chinese Reddit user. Initially he was thought to be specific to OnePlus 11, but a post on his OnePlus community forum in China revealed that this update is also available for his OnePlus . 12.
What's notable about February's ColorOS update is that it moves away from the original focus of the OnePlus 12 series and adds several AI-powered features. In contrast, competitors such as Google and Samsung have introduced impressive AI features such as Circle to Search in their latest smartphone products.
Among the new features introduced is AI Call Summarizer, a feature that allows OnePlus devices to assist users during calls. This feature listens to phone conversations and provides a condensed version for easy reference. AI Call Summarizer can follow changelogs and extract important information from conversations, such as instructions, addresses, names, and phone numbers, making it especially useful in situations where you need to take notes.
Additionally, OnePlus is introducing AIGC Remover, which is similar to Magic Eraser and allows users to remove unwanted people and objects from photos using AI technology. This is a feature that can also be found on other smartphones.
This update also introduces an article summarizer, enhancing users' ability to efficiently digest web content. Another notable enhancement is in the Breeno Touch feature, which now scans the content on your screen and provides suggestions for related services based on the information displayed.
OnePlus 11 devices are set to receive updates with build PHB110_14.0.0.403(CN01), while OnePlus 12 smartphones will be updated with build PJD110_14.0.0.405(CN01). While rollout to targeted devices in China has begun, it's unclear when these AI capabilities will be available globally.
OnePlus' move is in line with broader industry trends as smartphone manufacturers leverage AI capabilities to improve the user experience and differentiate their products in a competitive market. As Samsung and Google show off AI-centric features in their latest flagships, OnePlus is integrating similar features into its own devices to provide users with advanced and intelligent features beyond traditional smartphone capabilities. We aim to remain competitive.
