In other news, OnePlus recently confirmed that it’s giving AI eraser feature to some of its devices such as the OnePlus 12, OnePlus 12R, OnePlus 11, OnePlus Open, and OnePlus Nord CE 4.

More about AI, Google recently revealed that it’s offering some of the cool Google Photos’ AI features to everyone for free. These features include AI Photo Unblur, Magic Eraser, and others. So far, these features have been locked behind a paywall. Only, Google One members were able to access AI-editing tools in the Photos app. However, from May 15 these features will require no extra cost.
