Samsung has introduced its popular Circle to Search feature to its older smartphones, including the Galaxy S21 FE.
This feature, which uses Artificial Intelligence (AI), was first launched with the Galaxy S24 series in January at the Unpacked event.
It is now also available on Google’s Pixel phones and has been added to the Galaxy S21 FE.
New Update Brings AI-Powered Search
According to SamMobile, the August 2024 security update for the Galaxy S21 series not only fixes 50 bugs but also includes the much-anticipated Circle to Search feature.
After installing the update, Galaxy S21 FE users will be able to use this AI-based tool to search for information.
The Circle to Search feature lets users find details about text or images by simply circling them on the screen.
It can be activated by pressing the home button or navigation pill, and users can draw, circle, or scribble on any picture, object, or text to search for more information.
Expanding Availability of Circle to Search
Initially introduced with the Galaxy S24 series, Samsung has announced plans to extend the Circle to Search feature to its A-series smartphones.
This includes models like the Galaxy A55, A54, A35, and A34. It is uncertain whether this will be delivered through a software update or a server-side switch.
Additionally, the feature will be available on two tablets: the Galaxy Tab S9 FE and Galaxy Tab S9 FE+.
