OnePlus appears to be quietly hopping on the AI smartphone bandwagon. The Chinese phone manufacturer is now promoting AI features for the OnePlus 12 and OnePlus 11, even though they weren’t mentioned during the global launch of the OnePlus 12.

OnePlus’ AI features, which were suggested by frequent Android Authority member Mishaal Rahman and Reddit user milkyteapls, are now available in China with the most recent Color OS upgrade. The OnePlus phones sold in China come with Color OS, whereas the rest of the world uses Oxygen OS. Other than their names, the two operating systems are very similar. In any case, the February Color OS 14 upgrade brings additional AI capabilities to the OnePlus 11 and OnePlus 12.

You receive a “AI Summarizer” that creates call summaries “by extracting key information from your phone calls, such as times, places, and action items.” Although the feature’s name is similar to Samsung’s Galaxy AI offering, its operation is distinct. This function from Samsung is meant to condense notes, webpages, and documents. The OnePlus function appears to be limited to phone call transcript summaries.

Having said that, the business is also introducing a different article summarizing tool that lets consumers select important details from articles with a single tap.

Additionally, OnePlus is introducing “AIGC Remover,” which is essentially an intelligent photo-editing tool for eliminating undesired subjects or objects from images. Sounds exactly like Samsung’s new AI editing tool and the Magic Eraser found on Pixel phones.
In addition to the aforementioned, OnePlus is enhancing “Breeno Touch.” It appears that OnePlus and OPPO’s exclusive digital assistant in China is called Breeno. According to OnePlus’ changelog, I can now “recognize onscreen content and provide quick access to relevant services.”

In addition to these OnePlus-specific AI features, it appears that Color OS is receiving additional AI improvements. AI Environmental Sound Cancelation is one of them; it lowers background noise when on the phone.

It’s unclear when the OnePlus 11 and OnePlus 12 units sold worldwide will receive these updates.Watch the review units in case the updates become available anytime soon.
