Apple was the first company to bet on A button that facilitated access to the functions of silence and sound. A simple idea, well executed … and with margin of improvement. There was OnePlus in 2015, to achieve it with the OnePlus 2 and his Alert Slider.
OnePlus’s idea allowed something related to Android’s own nature and its three sound modes: silence, vibration and sound. It is a button that had been accompanying us for ten years, and that was destined to follow The same destination as Apple’s: Be replaced by something different.
OnePlus was one of the companies back I was staying in the. He always opted for the balance between power and price, but artificial intelligence is already an essential in every smartphone that wants to aspire to fight the best.
The death of alert slider
The immediate consequence has been The death of alert sliderwhich has been replaced by what OnePlus now calls Plus Key. The first point to highlight is that this button will become customizable. Yes, it is exactly the same change you made Apple with the iPhone 15 Pro. We can start multiple actions, such as changing sound profiles, open the camera, start recordings or start translations.
But, beyond the programmable functions, OnePlus wanted to go one step further and differentiate thanks to AI. This button will serve to activate AI Plus Mind, a new function centered on the Mind Space. Many new names, but the concept is easy to understand.
Mind Space is a space within the phone (an app) in which We can save information related to events, photographs, audio recordings… is something very similar to what we recently saw with the Essential Space of Nothingand use artificial intelligence to make summaries out of the contents we have stored.
The operation is easy: when you are sailing through any app that shows information that is of value (schedules, reservations, details of an ad), you press the new button (if you have it scheduled) or slide with the three fingers up. The content will be saved automatically in the Mind Space, it will analyze its content to extract the key data and can add them directly to your calendar.
This function will be released in the OnePlus 13s, a brother of the brother of the OnePlus 13. For those state -of -the -art devices, such as 13, this function will come by OTA update.
Climbing to the AI car
In addition to working in this new button and accompanying him from the Mind Space, OnePlus already has his “OnePlus Ai” ready. A set of artificial intelligence tools.
- Ai voicestrce: Record calls and meetings directly from messaging apps or video calls, then summarize them and translate them automatically.
- Ai Call Assistant (soon in India): Integrated in the ONPLUS 13S phone app, it will allow you to summarize calls or translate them in real time while talking.

- Ai best face 2.0 (Available in summer by OTA): Automatically correct group photos where someone has come out with closed eyes or bad face. It works with up to 20 people and even with images taken from other mobiles.
With these new functions, OnePlus wants to start fighting in a competed land already mandatory for any manufacturer.
