It is currently a non-oblique that every phone-maker should have a plan to integrate AI in its equipment. The OnePlus has been a little late for the party, but still it has come. On Tuesday, the company announced plans to bring its view of individual AI over OnePlus phone including OnePlus 13.
At a launch event in London last week, I not only saw the first AI features to get into action on Ekplus phones, but also know what the company’s future plans are to bring more complex and sophisticated AI features in my phone below the road.
Using the best best-in-class Qualcomm chips with all Android phone-makers and relying on Google’s Gemini AI, a way of being a strong AI strategy is that they can separate themselves from rivals. I was impressed that OnePlus is thinking further and is not going to Ham on AI. Its initial AI rollout will probably attract people’s attention, even if its views are not completely original.
OnePlus statement AI Tool is called a plus mind, which is currently on the basis of what your phone is on screen, suggestions, stores and can search, eventually an app is calling the details in OnePlus “Mind Space”. Plus mind can be activated at any time, either a dedicated button (if you have one in your phone) or swipe-up gesture. If it gives details of an event or reservation, it will propose to create a calendar entry.
Arthur Lam, director of the company of Mind Space Oxygenos and AI strategy, said “to organize its fragmented memories”. This is a hub where all your most important material will be. AI Search will allow you to find out what you need without overload of information you can be used, or it will automatically translate the material into another language to make it accessible and searchable.
Plus Mind will start with the upcoming launch of OnePlus 13S, especially designed for the Asian market, a phone that comes with a dedicated AI button (calling the side of the phone as “plus key,”). This means that for those of us in the US and Europe, we have to wait a while to enjoy the vision of OnePlus for AI. This will eventually rolling the OnePlus 13 as an over-the-air update later this year, although the company has not yet to confirm.
Plus Mind and Mind Space: My First Impression
On OnePlus 13, which was sent before the plus key, you have to use a three-finger swipe from the lower edge of the screen to activate AI features instead. When I tested it personally, it was killed or remembered if I could get it to work. There is definitely a habit – you need to start from a few centimeters above the lower rim – and what is on the screen is a high probability of accidentally displacing.
It is clear that OnePlus has designed the mind used with a dedicated button, and there is no doubt that all the future OnePlus phones will have a plus key of their own. It is a matter of shame in the retrospective, however, this key is missing from its most widely available 2025 flagship phones.
After using plus mind to save different types of materials, I gave mixed opinions about how useful it was. The process of capturing and creating events from the details displayed on the screen was uninterrupted, and I found that I was able to use the natural language within the mind space to draw details of these events after the fact. But when I thought it was interesting to save the articles, Mind Space was not able to provide a summary of the entirety of what I was reading – only on the specific text that was on screen when I was activated.
I also struggled to organize the material within the mind space. This is a manual process, rather than in a situation in which AI takes to classify everything you have saved. It sounds like an omission.
Like other Android phone manufacturers, the advantage of tapping the OnePlus in the best of Google’s Gemini phone tools, while also choosing what additional features they want to bring on their phone so that they can separate from their competitors. He said, “It is obliged to compare its initial forest in AI with the place of mind, what is not with any required place – materials, snipites, links and reminders to save your own dedicated hub.
What’s next for OnePlus AI?
Plus Mind and Mind Space is the first part of the three-phase AI strategy of OnePlus. The next up is integrating a large language model in a plus mind, allowing your phone to understand your habits to create a “personality” to understand you.
“This will help you understand yourself,” Lam said, and even help you find something “stunning” or “informative” about yourself.
Stage 3 is when OnePlus plans to go to full AI agent, which turns into a personal assistant that can know everything about you. But the company is not enough yet. Meanwhile, the pipeline has some other views.
Coming first in India (again, not the European Union or America), there are AI Vioceb, which will provide you with a quick summary after your call on WhatsApp, Snapchat, or Telegram, and AI call assistant, which provides you in-call translation in both text and voice.
On the more fickle side, OnePlus is presenting two AI photo tools. First, AI Best Face 2.0, will allow you to fix the face of 20 people in a group photo so that everyone looks best (if they close their eyes, for example, or what the onePlus describes as a “subptimal expression”). The AI reframe, meanwhile, will analyze the shot holiday snaps with your carelessness and suggest creative crop and framing, to see that you were not deep three cocktails when you shoot them.
These photo features will come on OnePlus phone in this summer, but for the major OnePlus AI Tool Rollout, you may have to wait a while.
