Gemini Ultra May Not Be Coming to OnePlus and Oppo Devices After All
Update (April 12, 2024) : OnePlus has issued a correction to its original announcement: the company says their press release mistakenly announced that the “Ultra Large Gemini Model” would debut on the OnePlus 12 when the press release should have be written “Gemini”. Models” instead. Since the Gemini comes in three models (Nano, Pro and Ultra), it is unclear which models will appear in the OnePlus 12. So, it is still possible that OnePlus plans to integrate Google’s most powerful AI model into its smartphones, but we won’t. I don’t know until the company officially confirms what “models” means.
The original article is as follows:
The OnePlus 12 may have launched without AI support earlier this year, but it looks like OnePlus and Oppo (both owned by BBK) have big plans for how they want to support AI in the future: Both OnePlus and Oppo have announced . what new features will introduce. based on Gemini 1.0 Ultra on their smartphones.
Gemini Ultra is the most powerful AI Google has to offer, and so far it hasn’t been included in any smartphone, not even Google’s own Pixel 8 Pro, which features the Gemini Nano instead. It was hard not to compare the OnePlus 12 to the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra when I reviewed the two phones earlier this year , but OnePlus could soon offer an even more powerful set of artificial intelligence features than Galaxy AI currently has, as Samsung has opted for Gemini. Pro, not Gemini Ultra.
Neither company has announced a specific date for when we can expect Gemini Ultra to appear on OnePlus and Oppo phones, or even any explicit information about which smartphones from the two companies will feature Google-powered AI. However, we know they are aiming for “later this year.”
Since launching its latest smartphones, OnePlus has already started rolling out features like AI Eraser, which works very similar to Google’s own Magic Eraser on Pixel phones and Google Photos . However, this feature is not supported by Google’s artificial intelligence, so it is unclear whether it will receive an update in the future or continue to use the model it already relies on.
Either way, the OnePlus 12 is sure to become an even more attractive flagship device for Android users once Gemini becomes available on it and other OnePlus devices. The companies say they plan to introduce a host of generative AI features, including generative photo editing, chat assistance, and many other features already found in the Galaxy S24 and Pixel 8 lines.
