OnePlus has begun to distribute an update for the OnePlus 13. Recently, the company also launched an update for the OnePlus 13R, enhancing its camera and connectivity features. Now, the flagship OnePlus 13 is receiving its initial software update, which incorporates an AI model.
OnePlus 13 Update & Gemini Nano
In contrast to the smaller adjustments on the OnePlus 13R, the OnePlus 13 is receiving a substantial update that introduces support for Gemini Nano (as reported by Android Authority). This is a compact version of Google’s expansive language model (LLM). Gemini Nano serves as an on-device AI model that can execute various helpful tasks such as search, circle to search, text summarization, and more.
OnePlus 13 Specifications
This high-end smartphone is getting its first OxygenOS 15 update with the build number CPH2655_15.0.0.402(EX01). The update is approximately 1GB in size. To see if the update is available, users can navigate to Settings > System and updates > Software update, and then click on Download and Install if they find the update. For those who don’t know, Google’s Gemini Nano necessitates the Android AICore app. Once the update has been installed, it should show up in the Google Play Store.
This is certainly a significant aspect of the OnePlus 13, introducing on-device LLM capabilities. Normally, an internet connection is needed to utilize AI features. However, with Gemini Nano, no internet connection is essential. The AICore app on the OnePlus 13 occupies over 3GB of storage. Although it is the smallest LLM, users can still access AI-driven features like smart replies and text summarization.
