OnePlus has become the latest brand to join the AI bandwagon. It has announced the rollout of a feature called AI Eraser for its smartphones. More AI-based features are also said to be in the works and arrive sometime later this year. Google and Samsung have been the only OEMs to offer generative AI capabilities on their flagship Pixel and Galaxy phones. Meanwhile, Apple is reportedly set to load GenAI into the upcoming iOS 18 in June. 

OnePlus announces AI Eraser for its smartphones 

As the name suggests AI Eraser is a straightforward feature that will remove unwanted elements from photos easily. This is similar to Google’s Magic Eraser which was first introduced on the Pixel 6 series back in 2021. Samsung also offers a similar feature with the Galaxy AI suite on the Galaxy S24 series and other compatible devices. 

OnePlus says that its AI Eraser is based on its own large language model. The company demonstrates how the feature will work. It will appear within the OnePlus Photos gallery app. Users have to open the photo they want to edit and select the unwanted parts like people, trash or any other imperfections in the picture they want to erase. AI will then do its job by analyzing the selected area and intelligently replacing it to seamlessly blend with the original scene. 

OnePlus also revealed the availability of the AI Eraser. It will be rolled out starting this month in a phased manner on the OnePlus 12 (review), OnePlus 12R, OnePlus 11, OnePlus Open, and OnePlus Nord CE 4. It remains to be seen how the feature will be delivered whether via an OxygenOS update or update to the OnePlus Photos app.
