OnePlus has always marched to the metre of its own drummer — for better and regretful . Take , for instance , the company ’s latest maraud into fluid contrived intelligence , the AI Eraser . Before you ask , no , this is not simply a rebadged version ofGoogle ’s longstanding and very good Magic Eraser .
From the sound of its pressure material , the fellowship went and build this thing ground - up , starting with its own first - party large nomenclature models .
“ AI Eraser is the consequence of a substantial R&D investment from OnePlus , ” the company notes in its pressing material . “ The proprietary LLM behind the novel feature has been trained on a Brobdingnagian dataset that allows it to comprehend complex picture . Through this advanced visual understanding , AI Eraser is capable to intelligently deputize unwanted object with contextually appropriate elements that by nature raise the photo ’s appealingness , empowering user with the ability to make high - quality photo edits anywhere and at any time . ”
An AI - powered eraser is an undeniably ready to hand feature , but it ’s also one that Google knocked out of the park immediately . It ’s probably not the good use of one ’s R&D resources to go head to head up on that feature of speech — specially a lineament that is currently available across iOS and Android machine via Google Photos .
More than anything , this seems to be OnePlus ’s attempt to plant its flag into what has very much shaped up to be the year of the smartphone . Hopefully next time , it will use those resource to build something that truly differentiates itself from existing properties .
AI is rolling out to OnePlus devices this calendar month , depart with OnePlus 12 , OnePlus 12R , OnePlus 11 , OnePlus Open and OnePlus Nord CE 4 . It will not , however , be coming to theR12 - D12 .
