Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. announced that its innovative Circle to Search feature, developed in collaboration with Google, will now be available on select Galaxy A and Tab S9 series devices. This expansion marks another step forward in Samsung’s mission to make advanced mobile AI accessible to a wider audience within the Galaxy ecosystem.
Initially introduced with the Galaxy S24 series, Circle to Search has quickly garnered a strong following for its transformative approach to search and discovery, which goes beyond conventional methods. The feature has since been rolled out to additional Galaxy devices, including the latest Galaxy Z Flip6 and Z Fold6 models, where it has continually evolved to enhance its usability. Recent updates have introduced capabilities such as full-page translation, homework assistance, and QR and barcode scanning, further solidifying its reputation as a versatile and intuitive tool.
Expansion to Galaxy Tab S9 FE and Tab S9 FE
With the latest update, Circle to Search will also be available on the Galaxy Tab S9 FE and Tab S9 FE+ models, where the large displays and the Galaxy S Pen will offer users a new and immersive way to interact with content. This extension of the feature to more devices within Samsung’s lineup means that users can now enjoy the ability to ask complex questions and search for information directly from their screens with greater ease and precision.
“These updates represent a significant enhancement for both the Galaxy A series and Galaxy Tab S9 FE series, reinforcing our dedication to delivering cutting-edge technology to a broader user base,” said TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics.
Circle to Search offers a new, streamlined way to search for anything on your device using a simple gesture, without the need to switch between apps. By circling, highlighting, or tapping on text, images, or videos on the screen, users can instantly initiate a search. This feature, a product of Samsung’s deep collaboration with Google, reflects the company’s enduring commitment to openness and partnership.
The AI-powered search results provide rich information and context, making the search experience more intuitive, exciting, and accessible to an even wider range of Galaxy users.
