OnePlus 13 receives AI Perfect Shot in latest update
OnePlus has begun rolling out a new software update for the OnePlus 13 that brings its AI-driven photo editor, AI Perfect Shot, to the flagship. The feature performs much like Google’s Best Take: it detects faces and swaps out undesirable expressions for better ones, letting users recover a blink or a mid‑blink smile so every group photo looks its best.
What’s new in the update
AI Perfect Shot
AI Perfect Shot automatically recognizes faces and improves facial expressions by replacing them with more natural or flattering alternatives from the same burst or frame set. This is ideal for mobile photography, social media, and anyone who frequently shoots in groups or on the move.
New filters and export options
The update also adds a soft light filter to Portrait and Photo modes to deliver gentler, more flattering skin tones and improved subject separation. Additionally, users can now export videos as live photos and export both videos and live photos in higher resolution, which benefits creators who repurpose clips for social platforms.
Stability and privacy improvements
The changelog confirms that 120FPS video remains 120FPS even after editing, preserving high‑frame‑rate footage for slow‑motion and professional workflows. Photo app privacy features now let you hide the contents of specific albums from the main photo list, useful for sensitive or private collections.
How it compares and why it matters
Compared with Google’s Best Take on Pixel devices, OnePlus’s AI Perfect Shot aims to close the gap in computational photography by delivering on‑device face recognition and smart replacement without demanding extra hardware. For consumers, this means improved value from OnePlus camera software; for the market, it signals ongoing vendor competition to integrate advanced AI features into flagship phones.
Use cases and advantages
AI Perfect Shot is particularly useful for event photography, family photos, and influencer content creation where a single great image matters. Advantages include fewer retakes, more consistent social content, and retained video quality for creators relying on high frame rates and high-resolution exports.
Availability and rollout
OnePlus previously stated AI Perfect Shot would arrive later this summer—this update appears to have landed on schedule for OnePlus 13 owners. If you own a OnePlus 13, check Settings > System > System updates to see if the package is available. Note: All original images and captions from the source are preserved and unchanged.
