The global OnePlus 13 has received its first software update. The update brings the Gemini Nano AI model, offering on-device AI capabilities to the new flagship phone.

The OnePlus 13 was recently released in the global market. The company has now started rolling out the first software update for the phone. The highlight of the update is the Gemini Nano AI model.

Gemini Nano is Google's AI model that allows on-device generative AI capabilities. Since Gemini Nano is a small AI model, it has been heavily optimized to run on hardware with limited resources, making it suitable for smartphones. It supports multi-modal capabilities allowing Gemini Nano to be used for features such as circle to search, text summarization, Magic Compose, and more. 

The AI model requires the Android AICore app, which should appear on the Play Store after the new update on the OnePlus 13. The Android AICore app will require approximately 3GB of storage. As an on-device model, it allows users to use certain AI features without an internet connection. For example, a feature called Magic Compose that provides suggested replies in Google Messages app can be used on the OnePlus 13 locally via Gemini Nano.

The update for the OnePlus 13 arrives with a CPH2655_15.0.0.402(EX01) build number and has a size of 1GB. Apart from the AI model, the update brings improvements in communication and interconnection, camera, audio, and other departments. 

The more affordable OnePlus 13R also recently received a new OxygenOS 15.0.0.403 update. While it does not bring Gemini Nano, it still offers improvements and new features such as "Touch to Share," allowing seamless file sharing with iOS devices.
