Oppo Introduces AI Photo Editing Tool to its Reno Phones
Smartphone companies are betting on gen AI, hoping it'll be the next big thing to encourage people to upgrade their phones.
Oppo has announced a gen AI photo-editing tool, AI Eraser to its Reno phone series, following the lead of Samsung and Google.
The AI Eraser tool lets you remove unwanted objects/subjects from a photo by drawing a circle around them (the unwanted objects/subjects) and the AI generates realistic-looking content to fill up the space. According to Oppo, the AI Eraser tool can accurately identify objects/subjects from over 120 categories, including people, pets, buildings, and flowers, to mention a few.
Some of this functionality can already be achieved with third-party apps, such as Photoshop, but AI Eraser allows you to perform photo-editing tasks natively on Oppo phones.
Google kicked off a gen AI arms race late last year, debuting a bevy of AI-powered features on its Pixel 8 series, including photo-editing tools such as Best Take Swap and Magic Eraser. Samsung followed with Generative Edit, among other Galaxy AI features, on its flagship Galaxy S24 line-up.
Oppo reportedly will debut more AI-based features on its phones in the coming months.
