While the Samsung Galaxy S24 series made headlines with its AI-powered features, OnePlus has quietly introduced its own AI offerings through a recent ColorOS update in China.
OnePlus Introduces AI Features in ColorOS Update
The update is rolled out to the OnePlus 12 and 11 models within the Chinese market. For the OnePlus 11, the firmware version is PHB110_14.0.0.403(CN01), and for the OnePlus 12, it is PJD110_14.0.0.405(CN01).
New AI Features
Though not as extensive as Samsung’s offering, the update adds three generative AI features.
First up, there’s an AI Summarizer that can generate summaries of phone calls with key information like time, location, and other relevant details.
Next up is the AIGC Remover, an image editor that lets you erase unwanted people or objects from your photos, similar to AI photo editing on Samsung and Google Pixel devices.
Finally, OnePlus is offering an Article Summarizer feature that provides quick summaries of articles with just a single tap.
Additional Updates
Beyond AI, the update also offers the ability to unlock the phone with the fingerprint scanner without waking the screen. Users can now control QQ Music on Always-On Display, and there is an option to display the screen recording indicator in the status bar or a floating window.
The OnePlus 12’s update not only enhances Bluetooth, NFC, and WLAN network stability and compatibility but also addresses the issue of network signals in places with subway-like conditions. You can check the complete changelog of the update via the screenshot below.
Possible Global Rollout
As aforementioned, currently, these AI features are only available on the Chinese version of ColorOS. However, as ColorOS shares a similar base with OxygenOS used globally, there’s a possibility they might be rolled out to the global OnePlus 12 and 11 models in the future.
