Beyond AI, the update enhances device usability with practical improvements such as unlocking the phone via the fingerprint scanner without needing to wake the screen first.

It also introduces more granular control over media and notifications, such as managing QQ Music directly from the Always-On Display and options for displaying screen recording indicators.

OxyegnOS Availability?

The firmware versions for the OnePlus 11 and OnePlus 12 are PHB110_14.0.0.403(CN01) and PJD110_14.0.0.405(CN01), respectively.

Each version is tailored to boost not only the AI capabilities but also the core functionalities of the devices, including Bluetooth, NFC, and WLAN network stability, especially in challenging environments akin to subway conditions.

Welcome introduction to AI for OnePlus 11 and 12 users.

As these AI features are currently exclusive to the Chinese versions of ColorOS, global OnePlus users are eagerly anticipating the potential rollout of these advancements in the global versions of OxygenOS.

Given the shared foundation between ColorOS and OxygenOS, there’s a tangible hope that these AI enhancements will soon be available to a wider audience, further solidifying OnePlus’s commitment to innovation and user-centric design.

A standout feature in this update is the AI Summarizer, an intelligent tool that automatically generates summaries of phone calls.

The update brings practical improvements like unlocking the phone with the fingerprint scanner without waking the screen, controlling QQ Music on the Always-On Display, and options for screen recording indicators.

How does the OnePlus 12’s performance compare to the OnePlus 11?

The OnePlus 12 is expected to house the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, offering a 30% increase in CPU and 25% in GPU performance over the OnePlus 11’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.

This significant leap suggests the OnePlus 12 will outperform its predecessor in speed and efficiency.

What are the key design differences between the OnePlus 12 and OnePlus 11?

The OnePlus 12 is rumoured to feature a higher maximum brightness of 2,600 nits and 2,160Hz PWM dimming on its 6.7-inch OLED display. It also sports a textured back and repositioned Alert Slider, distinguishing it from the OnePlus 11’s design.

Would these features launch for global variants with Oxygen OS?

It isn’t clear if OnePlus will limit these features to its models in China or bring them to global markets as well, where it ships its devices with Oxygen OS instead of ColorOS, such as the US and India.

However, this is a step in the right direction considering how Samsung, being one of the biggest competitors, already has most of these features. These features would certainly help it better compete in China, and globally when/if these features roll out.

What are AI features unveiled during the OnePlus update in China ?

With the latest ColorOS update, OnePlus has integrated three generative AI features into its smartphones. These features aim to enhance user experience and productivity:

AI Summarizer: OnePlus users can now benefit from an AI-powered summarization tool for phone calls. This feature automatically generates summaries by extracting relevant data such as locations, timestamps, action items, and other key information from phone conversations. This tool is designed to help users quickly review and recall important details from their calls.

AIGC Remover: The update also includes an image editing tool known as AIGC Remover. This tool allows users to remove objects and people from their photos, providing greater control over their images. While similar to features found in other flagship phones like the Pixel 8 and Galaxy S24 series, OnePlus focuses solely on photo editing capabilities without extending to video editing.

Article Summaries: OnePlus users can now create article summaries with a single tap, thanks to the new generative AI feature. By extracting key information from articles, this tool simplifies content consumption, making it easier for users to grasp the essence of lengthy texts.

These AI features, although not as advanced as those offered by competitors like Google and Samsung, represent a positive step for OnePlus users who have been anticipating AI-driven functionalities on their devices.

What are the Additional enhancements of OnePlus 11 & OnePlus 12 AI Powered ColorOS Update in China?

Fingerprint Scanner Access: Users can now access the fingerprint scanner without waking the phone, offering a more convenient and seamless unlocking experience.

Device Motion & Orientation Permission: A new permission setting, known as “Device motion & orientation,” has been introduced in the Settings menu. This feature restricts other apps from accessing the phone’s sensors for actions, gestures, and display orientation, enhancing user privacy and security.
