OnePlus Replaces Alert Slider with Plus Key for AI

Thursday, 12:46 PM by Rich Brome @rbrome.bsky.social

OnePlus has announced its new AI strategy that will debut with the forthcoming OnePlus 13s phone. The company is replacing its hallmark alert slider switch with a new shortcut button that can perform a variety of functions, such as switching sound profiles, launching the camera, turning on the flashlight, or initiating AI-powered language translations. But its default function seems to be launching Plus Mind, a new feature that seemingly captures screenshots and then, later, lets you search the content of those screenshots with natural-language AI. The OnePlus 13s will be OnePlus' "first compact flagship". The company announced other new AI features, including call transcription for both regular phone calls and those in third-party apps. A new language translation tool can translate anything on your screen in real time. AI Reframe can crop and reframe existing photos, and even offer versions that appear to be taken from different angles.

One of 1+ most stupid decisions along with the removal of the LED notification light

This is easily one of 1+ s' most stupid decisions. I want to be able to know by physical contact what state my phone is in without having to take it out of my pocket.
