Google’s Gemini to soon feature on OnePlus and Oppo smartphones

OnePlus and Oppo are collaborating with Google to incorporate Gemini into their smartphones. The Chinese smartphone makers will soon announce features powered by Google’s Gemini AI later this year. At the recently held Google Cloud Next ’24 event, the company confirmed that OnePlus and Oppo smartphones will gain features like news, audio summary, AI toolbox, and more features in the coming days.

Nicole Zhang, General Manager of AI Product for OPPO and OnePlus, said: “Generative AI is a revolutionary technology, and I believe OPPO and OnePlus are perfectly positioned to bring the benefits of AI to users all around the world. By collaborating with Google to integrate both Gemini and Google Cloud AI into smartphones, and by forming alliances with other industry pioneers for a variety of AI experiences, we are thrilled to ambitiously broaden the scope of mobile AI innovations.”

This collaboration will result in new AI experiences on OnePlus and Oppo smartphones, and both brands recently unveiled their first generative AI feature, “AI Eraser,” which can remove objects and construct backgrounds on images, powered by Oppo’s AndesGPT LLM. Currently, this feature is available on the Oppo Reno 11 series of smartphones along with OnePlus 12 (review), OnePlus 12R, OnePlus Open, OnePlus 11, and the newly launched OnePlus Nord CE 4.
