OnePlus’ new software update brings OnePlus AI tools to the 13 Series

 July 15, 2025 – Global technology brand OnePlus, today began the rollout of Plus Mind, its new personal intelligence tool, for OnePlus 13 Series users around the world. Plus Mind, an AI tool designed to help users handle the tidal wave of content they have to deal with every day, ensures that nothing is ever forgotten. This AI tool makes storing, organisation of content and searching for fragmented information easier than ever with the power of OnePlus AI. It is available for free as part of the latest software update for OnePlus 13 Series which begins its rollout today and will available on every OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R phone over the coming weeks. 

 “OnePlus AI is all about helping you work smart and play harder, and a big part of our work and play is trying to cope with the information overload we face every single day,” said Arthur Lam, Director of OxygenOS and AI Strategy at OnePlus. “Plus Mind has been specifically developed to act as a personal intelligence for our users, helping them remember everything in a secure and private way.” 

How Plus Mind works

Plus Mind first appeared on OnePlus 13s, the new compact flagship device launched by OnePlus in June. While OnePlus 13s uses a dedicated Plus Key to trigger Plus Mind, on OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R, this becomes a simple swipe instead. To send any type of information to Plus Mind, from webpages to images, messages or social network posts and more, users swipe upwards on their screen with three fingers, the exact opposite of a traditional three finger swipe down screenshot gesture. 

After swiping, Plus Mind will immediately analyse and suggest appropriate actions to users, like adding calendar events for key dates it spots in the content it captures. It will also make the captured data available for the user any time they visit their Mind Space, which is now a new app in the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R’s app list, or easily found via natural language searches in the AI Search bar, found by swiping down on the home screen. Mind Space uses OnePlus AI technology to understand the content it is seeing and automatically generate descriptions, information and tags for every piece of content as well as potentially translating the text it sees to a user’s native language. 

For example, a user who uses a three finger swipe up on a picture of an event poster will automatically be prompted to add the event date into their calendar, while Plus Mind also captures all the key data and adds it into the user’s Mind Space on their OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R. Meanwhile a three finger swipe up on a fashion website will see Plus Mind analyse what it sees on the page and summarise the looks on display. Then a user can easily rediscover this information in their Mind Space at a later date and return to the webpage with a single tap.

 More to come from OnePlus AI

OnePlus announced its AI strategy earlier this year and has dedicated itself to creating a personalised intelligence for its users. This strategy was created after hundreds of conversations with OnePlus users all around the world to learn about their hopes, dreams and fears for artificial intelligence. 

These conversations gave OnePlus deep insights into the users, which has led it to focus on ensuring that every OnePlus user has a phone that truly understands them and can help them work smart and play hard. As part of this, OnePlus has already released a range of AI features in different territories around the world and continues to work on releasing more. These include:

• AI VoiceScribe: Enables users to record, summarize, and translate calls and meetings directly within popular messaging, video, and online meeting applications (available in India only)
• AI Translation: Consolidates all translation capabilities – text, live voice, camera-based, and screen translation – into a single, intuitive app, making it easier to understand foreign languages and connect globally.
• AI Search: Allows conversational, natural language queries, seamlessly searching local files, settings, notes, and calendars for contextually relevant results. Integrated with AI Plus Mind, it enhances productivity through intuitive, interactive searches.
• AI Reframe: Analyzes photo scenes, identifies the subject, and adjusts composition, generating multiple creative framing options for users to choose from.
• AI Perfect Shot: Creates the perfect group shot by helping fix any badly timed blinks or substituting facial expressions on photos of up to twenty people.

Skill, Leadership Gaps Hindering Digital Shift in India’s BFSI: KNOLSKAPE 2025 Report

India, July 09, 2025 – KNOLSKAPE, a global leader in experiential learning technology, has released The Workforce Insights: BFSI Industry Report 2025, uncovering critical workforce challenges that are slowing down digital transformation across India’s BFSI sector.

The report states a significant disconnect between ambition and execution. While financial institutions demonstrate strong intent to digitize, structural challenges such as misaligned leadership, a weak learning culture, and limited data fluency are hindering effective implementation. Drawing insights from 35 financial institutions and over 6,500 employees globally, the report highlights that successful digital adoption requires more than just technology it demands organizational and cultural readiness. Without urgent action to address these gaps, the sector risks falling short of its transformation goals.

“The pace of change is dramatic, but it brings urgent challenges. As our new report highlights, digital transformation demands visionary leadership and a culture of continuous learning. Indeed, industry data indicate that roughly half of India’s BFSI workforce will require reskilling over the next few years. Addressing these leadership and skill gaps is critical to fully capitalize on our sector’s innovation potential.”, said Rajiv Jayaraman, Founder and CEO of KNOLSKAPE.

Key Insights:

• Digital Readiness Gap: 83% of Indian BFSI firms prioritize digital transformation, but only 31% believe their workforce is ready to deliver. This highlights a disconnect between strategic ambition and actual capability on the ground.
• Leadership Development Needs: 86.7% of organizations see leadership development as critical, but many lack programs that align with today’s digital and AI-driven demands.
• Limited Data Utilization: 93.3% value data and analytics, but only 33.3% use them effectively in learning and performance. The gap reflects challenges in applying insights to real workforce outcomes.
• High Intent, Low Execution: 83% of Indian BFSI firms list digital transformation as a top priority, but only 31% believe their workforce is ready to deliver on it. This highlights a significant gap between vision and execution, especially in applying AI for customer insights and operational agility.
• Structural Barriers: The report identifies poor leadership alignment, outdated talent strategies, and weak learning infrastructure as the three major challenges holding organizations back.

KNOLSKAPE’s 2025 BFSI report highlights a decisive shift in industry skill priorities, with digital fluency, leadership, and emotional intelligence emerging as key focus areas. However, a significant gap remains as most organizations still lack leaders equipped for change in AI and data-driven decision-making.

The report urges urgent upskilling through AI-powered leadership programs, data literacy training, and simulation-based learning. As BFSI undergoes rapid digital transformation, firms must invest in people, not just platforms to stay ahead.

Samsung Set to Unveil Thinnest and Toughest Foldables Yet

GURUGRAM, India – July 9, 2025: South Korean tech giant Samsung Electronics is all set to launch its latest foldable smartphones in Brooklyn, New York on July 9. Samsung is known for its visionary thinking and bold ideas that shape the future, so it’s only fitting that Samsung unveils the latest and greatest additions to the Galaxy portfolio in a place known for its culture, creativity and collaboration. The company has teased that the upcoming foldables – now in their seventh generation – will be the thinnest, lightest and most durable of all.

First introduced in 2019, Galaxy Z Fold signalled the herald of a new folding category of smartphones for consumers, combining the portability of a smartphone with the extensive productivity of a tablet. However, the category has remained small due to high prices and concerns around durability and longevity of foldable devices.

These are the key areas that Samsung is likely to address, when TM Roh, the acting head of the Company’s Device eXperience (DX) Division, takes the stage in a Brooklyn Convention Centre later this week. The Company recently said that its engineers and designers are refining each generation of the Galaxy Z series to be thinner, lighter and more durable than the last.

Samsung has also teased camera innovations, indicating that the new foldable devices will feature a more powerful, dynamic and immersive camera system. According to Samsung’s recent teasers, the company is likely to bring the Galaxy S25 series’ Ultra camera experience to the new Galaxy Z Fold7. This means that the Galaxy Fold series may get its first flagship camera, removing a big pain point among consumers who wanted to adopt foldables phones but were not impressed with its camera.

Samsung is also likely to continue with its strategy to bring more AI features with Galaxy AI, which the company says goes beyond what devices can do and is about how people interact with them. The Company is also expected to launch a new AI-powered interface, supported by breakthrough hardware.

Samsung Introduces Future-Ready Mobile Security for Personalized AI Experiences

GURUGRAM, India – July 08, 2025:  Samsung Electronics today announced a new set of security and privacy updates rolling out with its upcoming Samsung Galaxy smartphones with One UI 8. These updates reinforce Samsung’s commitment to delivering powerful, trusted mobile technology in a rapidly evolving digital world by introducing new protections for on-device AI, expanding cross-device threat detection and enhancing network security with quantum-resistant encryption.

Next-Generation Mobile Security for AI Personalization

Samsung is introducing Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection (KEEP), a new architecture designed to safeguard the next generation of personalized, AI-powered features, as its latest innovation in mobile security. KEEP creates encrypted, app-specific storage environments within the device’s secure storage area, ensuring that each app can access only its own sensitive information and nothing more.

Supporting Galaxy’s Personal Data Engine (PDE), KEEP helps secure a user’s deeply personal insights — such as routines and preferences — that enable features like Now Brief and Smart Gallery search. These insights stay entirely on-device, protected by KEEP and further secured by Knox Vault, Samsung’s tamper-resistant hardware security environment. The result is a seamless foundation for Galaxy AI that delivers personalized intelligence while keeping data tightly contained and under the user’s control.

KEEP’s system-level structure allows it to scale across Galaxy AI innovations. In addition to PDE, it now protects Now Brief, Smart Suggestions and other on-device features that rely on user-specific inputs — enabling more advanced AI experiences without compromising privacy. With KEEP, Samsung is redefining how mobile devices safeguard data in the background to elevate privacy from a setting to an embedded design principle.

Smarter, More Connected Threat Response With Knox Matrix

As AI becomes more integrated across the ecosystem, Samsung is advancing protections that offer not just stronger security, but greater transparency and control for users, with Knox Matrix leading the way. Through One UI 8, Samsung is evolving Knox Matrix to deliver more proactive and user-friendly protection for connected Galaxy devices. When a device is flagged for serious risk — such as system manipulation or identity forgery — it is designed to automatically sign out of the Samsung Account, cutting off access to cloud-connected services to prevent threats from spreading.

Users are notified across their connected Galaxy devices and guided to the ‘Security status of your devices’ page, where they can review the issue and take action. Even devices without the latest security status updates trigger a yellow-level warning, helping users respond before vulnerabilities grow.

Together, these updates make Samsung Galaxy’s ecosystem-level protection more dynamic, intuitive and visible, empowering users to maintain trust across all their devices with more confidence and clarity.

Secure Wi-Fi Strengthened With Quantum-Resistant Encryption

In continuation of its commitment to quantum-safe security, Samsung is bringing post-quantum cryptography to Secure Wi-Fi, extending the trusted approach first introduced on the Galaxy S25 series through Post-Quantum Enhanced Data Protection (EDP). Secure Wi-Fi is now being upgraded with a new cryptographic framework designed to strengthen network protection against emerging threats, particularly those anticipated in the era of quantum computing. This enhancement secures the key exchange process at the core of encrypted connections, helping ensure robust privacy even over public networks.

Quantum computing, once fully realized, could undermine many of today’s data protection methods. By integrating post-quantum cryptography, Secure Wi-Fi is built to withstand future attacks that capture encrypted data with the intent to break it once quantum technology matures — a tactic known as “harvest now, decrypt later.” This upgrade fortifies the secure tunnel between Galaxy devices and Samsung servers, reinforcing the integrity of data transmissions in high-risk environments like public Wi-Fi.

In addition to this future-ready foundation, Secure Wi-Fi offers a suite of advanced privacy features:

• Auto Protect: Automatically activates in public places like cafés, airports or hotels, securing Wi-Fi connections without requiring user action.
• Enhanced Privacy Protection (EPP): Encrypts internet traffic and routes it through multiple layers, combining packet encryption and relay to anonymize device information and help prevent tracking.
• Protection Activity: Provides visibility into protection history by showing which apps and networks were secured and how much data was encrypted over time.

A Trusted Platform With Built-In Safeguards

In addition to its latest innovations, Samsung continues to strengthen the core protections that underpin the Galaxy experience. These features reflect a multi-layered security approach that protects across hardware and software, while giving users greater visibility and control:

• Knox Vault secures sensitive credentials such as passwords, PINs and biometrics in a physically isolated environment, helping to keep them protected even if the main operating system is compromised.
• Auto Blocker helps provide defense by default, blocking unauthorized app installs, restricting command-based attacks and mitigating risks from potential zero-click threats.
• Advanced Intelligence Settings gives users the option to turn off online data processing for AI features, so personal information can stay on-device, fully under their control.
• Enhanced Theft Protection helps protect personal data even in high-risk situations such as robbery, using safeguards like Identity Check and Security Delay to prevent unauthorized access.

This latest set of updates reinforces Samsung’s long-standing commitment to mobile security that evolves with innovation. It strengthens on-device privacy for personalized AI with KEEP, expands transparency and user control through Knox Matrix, and introduces quantum-resistant protection to Secure Wi-Fi for a more future-ready Galaxy experience. As new security challenges emerge, Samsung remains focused on delivering safeguards that are built in, always on and ready for what’s next.
