In a bold step towards integrating artificial intelligence meaningfully into smartphones, OnePlus has announced its AI-centric ecosystem under the banner OnePlus AI. Instead of focusing on gimmicky voice assistants or flashy features, OnePlus is building a system designed around user needs, efficiency, and intelligent personalization.
At the heart of this AI strategy are two innovations: the Plus Key, a new hardware addition, and Plus Mind, a smart digital memory engine. Both debut with the upcoming OnePlus 13s and set the tone for how future OnePlus devices will incorporate intelligent tools.
The Plus Key: Function Meets Intuition
The newly introduced Plus Key is more than just a programmable button. It is an interface designed to unlock contextual actions instantly. Users can configure the key to perform tasks such as changing audio profiles, opening frequently used apps, launching translations, or starting a recording.
What sets the Plus Key apart from typical shortcuts is its deep integration with OnePlus’ AI system. This includes its ability to interact with Plus Mind, making the feature more than a shortcut tool—it’s a gateway to intelligent productivity.
Plus Mind: Organize, Remember, and Retrieve—Effortlessly
Imagine reading an article, finding an event, or stumbling upon an important date on your screen—and saving it instantly, not as a screenshot, but as understandable, searchable data. That’s exactly what Plus Mind offers.
When activated via the Plus Key or a three-finger swipe gesture, Plus Mind saves content to a dedicated Mind Space. But it doesn’t stop there. OnePlus AI then processes the content, extracts relevant details such as dates or tasks, and even suggests adding them to your calendar.
Searching for saved content is just as smart. Using AI Search, users can perform natural language queries to find exactly what they need. For example: “Show me the birthday party info I saved last week.”
These features eliminate the need to sift through screenshots or notepads. It’s an organized, AI-enhanced memory that evolves with your usage.
New AI Features Built for Real-World Use
OnePlus AI isn’t just about memory and automation—it also brings a suite of tools to enhance communication, creativity, and usability.
Here’s what else is coming:
- AI VoiceScribe: Records calls and meetings, and provides clear, summarized transcripts.
- AI Call Assistant: Offers real-time translation and call summaries directly within the OnePlus dialer.
- AI Reframe: Uses smart framing to automatically suggest improved versions of your photos.
- AI Best Face 2.0: Detects faces in group photos and corrects issues like closed eyes or odd expressions—even in photos taken on other devices.
- AI Translation Hub: Combines text, voice, camera, and screen translation into a single, unified tool.
Each feature is integrated natively into OxygenOS and optimized for real-world scenarios, particularly in fast-moving environments where users don’t have time to manage dozens of apps.
Gemini x OnePlus: The Power of Google, Built In
A key highlight in the OnePlus AI roadmap is the deep integration of Google Gemini. Gemini will soon work across core OxygenOS apps like Notes and Clock, and allow users to engage with it via live conversations using screen sharing or the camera.
This integration brings the power of Google’s AI ecosystem into the OnePlus experience, creating a cohesive, intelligent environment that goes beyond standalone features.
Security First: Powered by the Private Computing Cloud
OnePlus has emphasized that user privacy remains non-negotiable. Its AI system is built on a hybrid model that prioritizes on-device processing for most tasks. When more power is required, it shifts to the Private Computing Cloud, which ensures encrypted data processing across device and server layers using a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE).
This means your personal data—whether it’s saved content, calls, or photos—remains secure and inaccessible to external services.

A Vision That Extends Beyond the 13s
The OnePlus 13s will be the first to offer the Plus Key and Plus Mind out of the box. However, these features won’t be exclusive. OnePlus has confirmed that they will roll out to other models via software updates, starting with the OnePlus 13 Series.
More AI-driven features will be added in future OTA updates, showing OnePlus’ intent to build a dynamic, continuously evolving AI ecosystem—not a one-time launch.
