BBK subsidiary OnePlus today officially unveiled the OnePlus 7T series in Europe. Just as we had thought, the OnePlus 7T Pro joined the fray after getting skipped during the Indian launch. During the launch event, OnePlus took guests through the features that come with the latest version of its Oxygen OS which is based on Android 10.
Among the software features showcased is a special feature that the coming is still working on called “Instant Translate”. The feature is borne out of the realisation that the OnePlus community cuts across different languages all over the world. Thus, the feature makes it easy for different persons who don’t speak one language to communicate with each other. If they are on a live video call, for instance, the software translates the speech of the caller and interprets on the screen in text format. Pete Lau referenced video call to work with the new feature but we expect it to be available on other aspects.

The feature seems to have drawn inspiration from Google’s Live Caption for Android 10, but instead of just captions, it instantly translates speeches. No doubt this is a useful feature but quite complex. We expect the company to officially unveil it soon but don’t expect to see too many supported languages up there at the start.
OnePlus didn’t say specifically when the new feature will roll out but says it is “coming soon”.
