                Just like I can use Google Lens without ever opening it on my Pixel thanks to the recent app search thing.

Just go to recent apps and you can highlight and search for images or text without having to call Google Assistant. Circle to search does the same thing.

                  It's very useful and not gimmicky. I can tell you don't have a Pixel.

                      And how would you activate this feature when you use fullscreen gestures instead of the navigation bar?

And they also made a better wif+BT protocol called Nearlink which the Matepad 13.2 Pro uses with M-Pencil Gen 3.

                        And you probably forgot they beat Samsung and Apple to satellite communications?

                          I don't like it on my Pixel 8 Pro it's not very intuitive

                            I was not interested in this until it mistakenly popped up on my phone. Now, I think it is a great idea. It makes searching so much easier although it is already quite easy on the Pixels.

                              Didn't really asked for this feature but ok. How to try it though with gestures on cause i don't use nevigation bar.

                                      It seems more clear that GoogleXSamsung is ending in the end of 2025. After the last day of 2025, this feature may belong to any compatible Android phones. Let's see...

                                        Am I the only one who thinks this is such an overhyped feature? It's definitely convenient but everyone's acting like this is a groundbreaking new feature. I use Google lens a lot and I never thought it was too clunky or difficult to use
