OxygenOS 16 Changes
Check out the below given top OxygenOS 16 features list.
AI Writer and Recorder: Productivity Amplified
The AI Writer comes with different tools in one package. It’s like one feature with multiple tools to assist you in writing. Moreover, OxygenOS 16’s AI Writer addresses two important areas: information visualization and social media content creation. First, you get this tool, which can assist in writing emails, social media posts, and notes by offering suggestions and different tones. This includes both formal and casual writing. It can also generate captions for images and create mind maps or tables from text
Next, you get an AI Scan tool. This feature can turn your device’s camera into a document scanner. Well, it’s not just like your regular scanner, where you would have to adjust the corners and fix any marks. This AI-driven tool can automatically produce clean PDF files and remove glare. You also get AI Recorder, which now offers you a real-time transcription with speaker identification. This can also generate smart summaries of your recordings.
Lastly, you get the AI Portrait Glow and AI Perfect Shot. These tools are ideal for photography. The AI Portrait Glow features an AI relight that enhances low-light portraits with multi-skin-tone optimization. On the other hand, the AI Perfect Shot can fix any form of glitch, such as blurred or blinked eyes in photos.
