More Android users are set to enjoy enhanced photo editing capabilities with a free update coming to five popular smartphone models.
You might have seen Google’s recent advertisement showcasing its “magic eraser” feature on the Pixel, allowing users to remove unwanted objects from their photos. Samsung also offers a similar feature on its Galaxy phones.
Now, OnePlus is joining the trend by rolling out an update to five of its handsets this month, including the AI-powered editing tool, as reported by 9to5Google.
This innovative tool leverages generative AI to seamlessly remove unwanted elements from images with just a tap.
This move reflects a broader trend among smartphone manufacturers to integrate AI into various features.
Beyond photo editing, AI is being used for live translation during calls and even automated message composition, as demonstrated by the Samsung Galaxy S24.
OnePlus, traditionally less focused on AI, is expanding its offerings in this area, which could significantly benefit users of its latest OnePlus 12 model.
In a recent review, while the OnePlus 12 captured detailed and colorful images, some felt it lacked the depth of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra’s photos.
Looking ahead, OnePlus has hinted at introducing more AI features later this year.
While specifics are not confirmed, tools like call and article summarization, already popular in China, may soon be available globally.
The AI-powered eraser tool will initially be available on the following five OnePlus models:
• OnePlus 12
• OnePlus 12R
• OnePlus Open
• OnePlus 11
• OnePlus Nord CE 4
