Samsung Electronics announced today that Circle to Search, a feature developed in collaboration with Google, is expanding to the Galaxy A series and Galaxy Tab S9 FE series. This move brings powerful search capabilities to a wider range of users within the Galaxy ecosystem.
This feature allows users to search for information directly from their screen, eliminating the need to switch between apps. By simply circling, highlighting, or tapping on text, images, or videos, users can trigger a web search powered by Google.
Expanding Accessibility with Circle to Search
Since its introduction to the Galaxy S24 series, Circle to Search has been a popular feature. This update demonstrates Samsung and Google’s commitment to providing cutting-edge technology to a broader audience. The feature has seen continuous improvement. New additions include full-page translation, homework help, and QR/barcode scanning.
New Possibilities for A Series and Tab S9 FE
The arrival of Circle to Search on the Galaxy A series and Galaxy Tab S9 FE series unlocks new possibilities. On these devices, the larger displays and the S Pen (on the Tab S9 FE) create an even more intuitive search experience.
“These updates unlock new possibilities for the Galaxy A series and Galaxy Tab S9 FE series and reinforce our commitment to providing cutting-edge technology for more Galaxy users,” said TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics. “We are dedicated to bringing best-in-class AI technology to a broader audience, empowering users with the option to work more efficiently, create more freely and enjoy richer, more personalised interactions with their devices.”
How Circle to Search Works
Circle to Search offers a seamless way to search for information directly from your screen. With the feature enabled, users can simply circle, highlight, or tap on the content they’re interested in. This eliminates the need to switch apps or manually type out a search query.
