• When: Rolling out via software update starting this week

• Where: Initially for users of OnePlus 13 and 13R 5G

You're scrolling through your phone, trying to find that screenshot with your meeting time… or was it a WhatsApp message? Maybe a note?

Sound familiar? 😩

Well, OnePlus just dropped something that could save your sanity. It’s called Plus Mind—and it’s like giving your phone a second brain (a much smarter one). 🧠

Let’s unpack this.

Think of it as an AI-powered personal assistant baked right into your OnePlus 13 or 13R 5G device.

Here’s what it can do:

• 👆 Swipe Up, Power Up: Trigger Plus Mind with a three-finger swipe up gesture (yes, it’s the opposite of taking a screenshot).

• 🧠 Smarter Organization: It scans what’s on your screen and suggests smart actions, like:

  • Adding dates to your calendar

  • Saving content in categorized folders

  • Tagging it for easy search later

• 🔍 Mind Space & Natural Language Search: All saved info goes into a private "Mind Space" and can be retrieved just by asking—no weird filenames, just human language.

• 🌍 Multilingual Muscle: It can even translate content into your preferred language instantly.

Let’s say you’re reading an email about your cousin’s engagement next month.

Swipe up ➡️ Plus Mind scans the content ➡️ Sees the date ➡️ Suggests adding it to your calendar ✅

Now, try searching later: “When is Priya’s engagement?” Boom—found. 🪄

Plus Mind isn’t a solo act. OnePlus has been building a full AI toolkit.

Here’s the full cast:

• 🎙️ AI VoiceScribe – Summarizes and translates voice calls and meetings (India only)

• 🌐 AI Translation – Works across voice, camera, screen, and text

• 🔍 AI Search – Natural language search across files, settings, and content

• 🖼️ AI Reframe – Auto-corrects bad angles and adjusts photo composition

• 😄 AI Perfect Shot – Removes awkward expressions and closed eyes in group photos

So yeah, your phone is basically becoming an AI-powered creative partner. 🎬

Earlier this year, OnePlus shared its ambition to bring personalized, practical AI to everyday users—not in a "sci-fi robot assistant" way, but in a "makes-your-day-smoother" way.

Their approach? 🧭

➡️ Collect real-world feedback

➡️ Focus on usefulness

➡️ Keep things simple, human, and helpful

Here’s your AI-powered playbook based on this update:

✅ Try the three-finger swipe up on your OnePlus 13/13R and start using Plus Mind immediately

✅ Organize on the fly—start using Mind Space for meeting notes, reminders, and useful screenshots

✅ Use natural language search ("Where's my parking screenshot?") to save time and stop scrolling

✅ Explore AI Translation when reading multi-language content or while traveling

✅ Turn on AI Reframe & Perfect Shot in your camera settings to level up your photos with zero effort

✅ Provide feedback to OnePlus through the feedback app—they’re literally building this AI with user input

✅ Bookmark this newsletter for a quick future reference. Plus Mind may evolve—and you’ll want to keep up.
