Samsung is bringing its popular Circle to Search feature, powered by Google, to even more devices. Originally introduced with the Galaxy S24 series earlier this year, the feature has since made its way to flagship devices like the Galaxy S23 series and the latest Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6. Now, Samsung is extending this handy tool to the Galaxy A series smartphones and the Galaxy Tab S9 FE series tablets.
What is Circle to Search?
Circle to Search is an innovative feature that lets users quickly search for information on their screen without the need to switch apps. Whether it’s text, images, or videos, you can simply highlight, circle, or even scribble on the screen, and Google will instantly provide relevant search results. It’s a seamless way to get the information you need without disrupting your workflow.
How It Works
Using Circle to Search is simple. Just press the “Home” button or use the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen to enable the feature. Then, circle or highlight the area on your screen that you want to search. Google will do the rest, offering rich information and context that goes beyond traditional search methods. You can also add more details to refine your search results.
Devices Getting the Feature
Samsung has confirmed that the Galaxy Tab S9 FE and Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ will receive the Circle to Search feature. In addition, several Galaxy A series smartphones will also be equipped with this functionality, making advanced mobile AI technology more accessible to a broader audience.
Why It Matters
According to TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics, this move is part of Samsung’s commitment to democratizing cutting-edge mobile technology. By bringing Circle to Search to more devices, Samsung aims to empower users to work more efficiently, create more freely, and enjoy richer, more personalized interactions with their devices.
A Growing Feature
Since its launch on the Galaxy S24 series, Circle to Search has quickly gained popularity for its ease of use and effectiveness. The feature has evolved to include full-page translation, homework help, and even QR and barcode scanning capabilities. Now, as it becomes available on the Galaxy A series and Galaxy Tab S9 FE series, even more users will be able to take advantage of this powerful tool.
Samsung’s partnership with Google continues to push the boundaries of what mobile devices can do, making advanced AI-driven features available to as many users as possible.
