Samsung recently announced the roll-out of Google’s Circle to Search functionality on select Galaxy A-series devices and the Galaxy Tab S9 FE line. The Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35, along with last year’s Galaxy A54 and Galaxy A34, are the first A-series smartphones to receive Samsung’s select Galaxy AI features, which were previously limited to the flagship Galaxy S series.

What is Circle to Search

Circle to Search is an artificial intelligence-powered tool from Google that allows users to perform a Google Search for any subject displayed on their smartphone’s screen. Simply pressing and holding the home button launches the interface, where the user can tap or encircle the object they want to look up on the internet. The feature was initially launched on Samsung’s 2024 flagship Galaxy S24 series and later expanded to other Samsung Galaxy devices.

It should be noted that Circle to Search is not exclusive to Samsung devices. The feature is also available on select Google Pixel devices, including the newly launched Google Pixel 9-series smartphones.
