OnePlus takes a page from Nothing with its newest feature
You can remap the Plus Key on the OnePlus 13s, and launch AI Plus Mind with gestures; and that makes it better than Nothing.


- The upcoming OnePlus 13s replaces the traditional Alert Slider with a customizable hardware button called the Plus Key.
- Amongst other remappable functions, this key launches AI Plus Mind, which uses contextual intelligence to save and organize screen content within a dedicated Mind Space.
- While similar to Nothing’s Essential Key and Essential Space, OnePlus offers greater flexibility through button remapping and gesture controls.
These days, Android flagships are more than just specifications, with companies being very bullish on AI features and their potential to improve the conventional phone experiences. OnePlus had already jumped on the AI bandwagon with features like AI Eraser and AI Summary that arrived with Oxygen OS 14 and 15. Now, OnePlus is consolidating the plethora of its AI features under the OnePlus AI branding, adding Gemini support to its stock apps, and launching the new AI Plus Mind feature, which will debut with the OnePlus 13s.
