OxygenOS 16: OnePlus Integrates Gemini To Turn Its Smartphones Into Personal Assistants
OnePlus has announced a significant advancement for its upcoming OxygenOS 16 system: the integration of Google Gemini AI models. The goal is to transform its smartphones into true personal assistants capable of planning, organizing, and managing users’ daily tasks.
At the heart of this update is Mind Space, a centralized hub where users can store memories, notes, and collections. Google’s AI will utilize this content to perform complex and personalized tasks.
An example provided by the brand: asking Gemini to organize a five-day trip to Paris using information and memories stored in Mind Space. This approach goes far beyond a simple voice assistant.
This collaboration with Google positions OnePlus in the race for generative AI. While Samsung relies on Galaxy AI and Apple on Apple Intelligence, OnePlus bets on a direct integration of Gemini models to provide contextual and personalized experiences.
Deployment and Compatibility of OxygenOS 16
OnePlus has confirmed that these features will debut with OxygenOS 16, which will soon roll out to a selection of its recent devices. The specific list of compatible models and the official timeline will be revealed in the coming weeks.
In short, OxygenOS 16 will not just be a regular system update; it marks OnePlus’s entry into a new era where AI becomes the conductor of the user experience.
