After Samsung, OnePlus adds AI features to its flagship phones in latest ColorOS update, but only in China

Following the trend set by tech giants like Google and Samsung adding AI features in their latest flagships, OnePlus is also gearing up to introduce AI-powered features to its smartphones, with the latest ColorOS update in China making strides in this direction.

While the initial release of the OnePlus 12, the company’s most powerful phone to date did not showcase any AI capabilities, the ColorOS 14 version PHB110_14.0.0.403(CN01) update is set to change that narrative.

A recent post on X by Android enthusiast Mishaal Rehman revealed that a Reddit user made an intriguing discovery about the ColorOS update. The update, which is applicable to both the recently launched OnePlus 12 and the year-old OnePlus 11, introduces several AI-powered features aimed at enhancing user experience.

Among the noteworthy additions is the AI Summariser, a tool designed to generate summaries by extracting relevant information such as places, times, and action items from phone calls.

Additionally, OnePlus has introduced the “AIGC Remover,” a functionality reminiscent of Google’s Magic Eraser, allowing users to eliminate unwanted objects or people from images.

The update further includes an “Article Summariser” feature, enabling users to obtain quick summaries of articles at the touch of a button.

Another notable addition is ‘Breeno Touch,’ a functionality geared towards recognizing onscreen content and providing swift access to relevant services.
