OnePlus phones are getting AI tools that are bound to make Galaxy and Pixel fans jealous
OnePlus TL;DR OnePlus has announced a new set of AI-powered tools that will soon be available on its devices. These include a consolidated text, voice, camera-based, and screen translation tool, as well as an advanced search feature. The OnePlus AI suite also includes localized tools to help users record, summarize, and translate calls and offer real-time call translations. Earlier this year, OnePlus confirmed plans to replace the alert slider with a customizable button on future phones. At the time, the company's CEO, Pete Lau, said this new button would allow users to switch sound profiles without waking up the device and offer a few additional features. OnePlus has now revealed that the customizable button, the Plus Key, will debut on the upcoming OnePlus 13s and let users switch sound profiles, launch the camera, initiate translation, start recordings, or activate the new AI Plus Mind feature. Along with details about the Plus Key, OnePlus shared that its stock apps will soon offer Gemini integrations and announced a new suite of AI-powered tools for its devices. The OnePlus AI suite includes a few familiar features we've already seen on devices from Google and Samsung, like text, voice, camera-based, and screen translations, but all consolidated into one tool, and advanced search capabilities with support for natural language queries. In addition, it brings a couple of unique features tailored to regional audiences that should help set it apart. OnePlus OnePlus' AI VoiceScribe feature, for instance, will let users record, summarize, and translate calls and meetings directly within popular messaging, video, and online meeting applications. On the other hand, its AI Call Assistant feature will allow users to get automatic call summaries or real-time call translations in the OnePlus Dialer app. Unfortunately, these features will only be available in India, and OnePlus hasn't shared plans for a broader release. OnePlus The OnePlus AI suite will also offer an AI Reframe feature to help users capture better photos. The company claims this feature will intelligently analyze the scene, identify the subject, and adjust the composition, giving users multiple framing options for a better shot. Later this summer, OnePlus will also add an AI Best Face 2.0 feature to the suite, which will enhance group photos by automatically correcting closed eyes or weird expressions. Although OnePlus' AI tools aren't drastically different from the ones found on Google and Samsung phones, the consolidated translations feature and region-specific tools could give its devices a slight edge. We can't wait to try these features and share our thoughts on whether OnePlus' approach is a hit or a miss. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .

OnePlus 13s: From design to customisable 'Plus' key, what we know so far
OnePlus is gearing up to launch the OnePlus 13s smartphone in India on June 5. Joining the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R in the company's flagship line-up, the 13s will be the most compact model in the series, featuring a 6.32-inch display. Ahead of its official unveiling, OnePlus has revealed several key details about the upcoming device, including its design, performance capabilities, and a new customisable side button. Here's everything we know so far: OnePlus 13s: What we know so far Design: OnePlus has shared official images of the 13s, confirming a flat metal frame design with a vertically stacked dual-camera set-up at the back. Measuring 8.15mm thick and weighing 185g, the company said that the phone is designed for comfortable one-handed use, featuring curved 2.5D glass on both the front and back for a more ergonomic grip. The smartphone will be available in three finishes: Black Velvet, Pink Satin, and an India-exclusive Green Silk. The Green and Pink variants will come with a new 'Velvet Glass' back panel, which OnePlus claims offers a soft-touch feel compared to conventional glass. Replacing the signature Alert Slider, OnePlus is introducing a new customisable 'Plus Key' on the 13s. This programmable button can be set to perform a variety of actions, such as changing sound profiles, launching the camera, toggling the flashlight, starting audio recording, enabling translation, and more. The OnePlus 13s will be the first smartphone from the brand to feature this new button, a change earlier confirmed by OnePlus CEO Pete Lau. Camera: While OnePlus hasn't officially disclosed the rear camera configuration, it has confirmed that the front camera will be a 32MP sensor with Auto Focus (AF). Performance and connectivity: The OnePlus 13s will be powered by Qualcomm's flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, the same processor found in the OnePlus 13. OnePlus has also revealed that the device will feature one of the largest vapour chambers in its segment, along with a unique cooling layer integrated into the back cover, aimed at improving thermal efficiency during prolonged usage. For connectivity, the smartphone will include a dedicated G1 Wi-Fi chipset for stable wireless performance, and a 360-degree antenna system with a total of 11 antennas to ensure consistent signal reception regardless of how the phone is held. Battery: While OnePlus hasn't revealed the battery capacity yet, the company claims that the 13s will offer the best battery performance on any OnePlus phone to date. It is said to support up to 24 hours of WhatsApp call time and 16 hours of Instagram Browse on a single charge. Regarding charging, OnePlus promises a full day's worth of power in just 30 minutes. Lifetime display warranty: The OnePlus 13s will come with a lifetime display warranty for green line issues. Under this initiative, users can get free display replacements if affected—though the warranty does not cover external or user-induced damage. This policy is part of OnePlus' 'Green Line Worry-Free Solution,' which the company extended to existing devices in December last year. OnePlus 13s: Expected specifications

OnePlus teases what its ‘Plus Key' can do, but just makes it look like an iPhone ripoff [Video]
The iconic Alert Slider is dead, and OnePlus is now replacing it with the 'Plus Key' and it all looks pretty familiar . OnePlus announced earlier this year that the Alert Slider would be going away on its future devices, instead replaced by a new shortcut button. That's called the 'Plus Key,' as we found out on the OnePlus 13s. In a teaser posted to Twitter/X earlier this month (and just recently resurfaced by Pete Lau), OnePlus shows what the 'Plus Key' can do. The brief 10-second video shows that users can customize the 'Plus Key' to change ringer modes, activate Do Not Disturb, open the camera, turn on the flashlight, (presumably) mute the microphone, open a translation feature, and seemingly take a screenshot. Predictably, there's also some kind of AI feature shown, but it's unclear what that may do. The UI shown, though, is nearly identical to the Action Button UI used to customize the shortcut key on recent iPhones. It's hard to believe that's a coincidence, especially as it already felt like this swap was made just to be more similar to the iPhone anyway. Thankfully, there are some differences in the actual software UI. In a blog post that went under the radar, OnePlus shows that it at least created its own UI for customizing what the 'Plus Key' does. And, of course, the brand teases that AI is involved. Unlike traditional hardware switches with fixed functions, the Plus Key is intelligent and customizable . That means you decide what it does and as your needs change, so can the button. With OnePlus AI, Plus Key is more than just a shortcut, it's a gateway to something smarter. It adds to your experience in ways that go beyond the obvious. Whether it's your daily habits or the little things you do without thinking, the Plus Key quietly adapts and evolves with you. One press today. A whole new way to interact with your phone tomorrow. The OnePlus 13s (also called the 13T in China) is the first device with the 'Plus Key,' but it will presumably show up on future OnePlus devices, including the eventual OnePlus 13 successor. As a reminder, the OnePlus 13T/s is not coming to the United States or Europe. Follow Ben: Twitter/X, Threads, Bluesky, and Instagram
