You can see how the Circle to Search feature works in our Galaxy AI video below.
Although it may seem like Circle to Search is just a rebranded version of Google Lens, it isn't. It is way faster and more accurate than Google Lens, as the feature is baked into the operating system. Moreover, it can be activated from anywhere on the phone by long-pressing the navigation gesture bar or swiping from the screen's bottom right or left corner and then circling the thing you want to know more about.
With Circle to Search, you can find information about anything on your phone's or tablet's screen. For example, you can activate Circle to Search for more details on a pair of shoes your favorite celebrity is wearing in a YouTube video. You can also translate text from one language to another or find a song playing on the device or near your location.
