Samsung has announced the expansion of its innovative Circle to Search feature to select Galaxy A series devices and the Galaxy Tab S9 FE series, demonstrating the brand’s commitment to bringing advanced AI technology to a broader range of devices within its ecosystem.
Developed in collaboration with Google, Circle to Search has gained popularity since its initial launch on the Galaxy S24 series. It allows users to do searches by circling, highlighting, or tapping content on their screen, eliminating the need to switch between apps. This intuitive search method has been further enhanced with capabilities such as full-page translation, homework assistance, and QR and barcode scanning.
TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics, emphasized the company’s dedication to democratizing cutting-edge technology.
“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 personalized interactions with their devices.”
The rollout of Circle to Search is scheduled to begin in August 2024 for select Galaxy A series models in the Philippines – Galaxy A55, A54, A35, and A34. The feature will be extended to the Tab S9 FE and Tab S9 FE+ in September 2024 as well.
The integration of Circle to Search into the Galaxy Tab S9 FE series is particularly noteworthy, as it promises to leverage the devices’ larger displays and Galaxy S Pen compatibility to enhance the search and discovery experience. For more information, you may visit Samsung.com.
