OnePlus starts rolling out Plus Mind AI feature to these smartphones: How it works and more

OnePlus 13

OnePlus has started rolling out Plus Mind, its new personal intelligence tool, for OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R users globally — at no extra cost.

Plus Mind helps users capture, organise, and retrieve content with just a swipe. It’s OnePlus’ take on AI-enhanced memory: photos, links, messages — anything you swipe up on with three fingers gets analysed, sorted, and saved to a new hub called Mind Space.

“The whole point is helping users work smart and play harder,” said Arthur Lam, OnePlus’ Director of OxygenOS and AI Strategy. “Plus Mind is like your own secure second brain.”

How it works

The tool originally launched on the OnePlus 13s, where it’s activated via a dedicated “Plus Key.” On the 13 and 13R, a simple three-finger swipe up gets the job done. Think of it as the reverse of the traditional screenshot gesture.

From there, Plus Mind jumps in to extract useful info: dates go into your calendar, product details are summarised, and everything is saved to your Mind Space — which you can search with natural language via AI Search, now baked into the home screen.

So, swipe up on a concert poster, and Plus Mind will automatically prompt you to add the event to your calendar. Swipe up on a fashion website, and it’ll summarise what you’re seeing and tag it for later. The system even generates descriptions, translates text, and recognises visual context — all AI-powered.

This is part of a broader AI push from OnePlus, which recently laid out a strategy shaped by global user feedback. The company has already begun deploying a suite of AI tools in select regions:

AI VoiceScribe: Records, transcribes, and translates meetings (India-only for now)
AI Translation: Merges text, voice, camera, and screen translation in one app
AI Search: Contextual, natural-language search across local files and content
AI Reframe: Analyses images and suggests alternate compositions
AI Perfect Shot: Creates flawless group photos by fixing blinks and expressions
