Android Users Will Have to Wait for Google’s ‘Circle To Search’ AI Tech, But It Will Be Available to Them
Google’s big push into AI for smartphone users will be heavily limited to premium consumers, and that’s likely to be the case at least later this year. The company’s Circle to Search AI feature debuted on the Samsung Galaxy S24 series and then rolled out on the Pixel 8 Pro in January.
But what about other Android users, when will they get this new search feature? Samsung has reportedly shared a timeline that may leave many of you disappointed. As recently revealed by Samsung Netherlands, Circle to Search may come to other Android devices this year, but not until after October 5, 2024, which will likely coincide with the launch of the Google Pixel 9 series this year.
The source of this information is not credible, especially since Samsung’s head office has yet to comment on the feature extension. But surely Google and Co. will get the AI feature on multiple devices in the next few months, not 6 months from now. If not all, bring the feature at least to older Galaxy and Pixel models that are available and still new in the market.
The Pixel 8 Pro model got the feature via the new Pixel Drop update last month. As the name suggests, all you have to do is draw a circle on any image to get information about a product or any product on the internet.
That’s right, Google calls it Circle to Search, and you can just search using circles. If you get a Samsung phone, you can do this drawing with the S Pen that comes with the Galaxy S24 Ultra or the Pixel 8 Pro, which also has Gemini Nano features added.
