Our phones are basically external brains at this point. But OnePlus took that idea literally when it introduced Plus Mind, a new AI feature that’s like giving your phone a photographic memory. If you’ve ever wished your phone could remember stuff for you (like that event poster you saw or that outfit you loved while doomscrolling), OnePlus is making it happen. The company’s shiny new AI assistant is finally rolling out to the OnePlus 13 and 13R in the US over the coming weeks.
OnePlus first rolled out its Plus Mind AI with the OnePlus 13s in India, then brought it to the Nord 5 over in Europe. Now, it’s going worldwide. This AI assistant is built to offer helpful suggestions before you even ask and can stash important information for when you need it later.
Basically, Plus Mind jumps in to save, suggest, store, and search based on whatever is on your screen. If your phone has a dedicated button—like the OnePlus 13s—just tap it to activate. On the OnePlus 13 and 13R, meanwhile, a simple three-finger swipe up grabs everything from memes and messages to full web pages and screenshots.
Here’s where things get interesting: once Plus Mind grabs what’s on your screen, it actually makes sense of it. Grab a concert poster, and it’ll offer to drop the date into your calendar. Browse through a fashion site, and it’ll summarize the look and stash the details in Mind Space.
A digital junk drawer, but organized
Mind Space is the new app baked into the OnePlus 13 in order to quietly build an AI-sorted collection of everything you’ve saved with a swipe. Want to revisit that recipe screenshot or track down that cool streetwear page? Just swipe down on your home screen and search like you would on Google.
Think of Mind Space as your personal vault for everything that matters. It keeps your key content in one place. With built-in AI search, you can quickly find what you’re looking for without digging through a mess. And if something’s in another language, it’ll translate it on the fly so it’s easy to access and search through.
According to OnePlus, Plus Mind is just the starting point. It’s part of a broader AI effort the company laid out earlier this year, one shaped by real talks with users around the globe about what they want (and don’t want) from AI. The end goal is to build a phone that actually understands you.
