Circle to Search will be exclusive to Google and Samsung devices for a long time

02 February 2024
Don't expect other Android phones to get it anytime soon.

Android is an open source project, before google manufacturers made devices with android including Samsung of course, so android all features should be available for the all manufacturers. So this is rude in my opinion.

        Same here, no Google at the screen bottom. Just see this as part of faster browsing experience in upcoming years, it's not only pictures. No hurry, though.

          I'm not missing anything. I've disabled the Google app on my phone because it's just selling all my data with privileges the other apps are not allowed to use. You could just use Lens if you really wanted to image search anyway.

            Stupid features count as bloatware and are probably never going to be used, besides some curious testings.

              C2S is so natural step that sooner or later it must be part of regular Google Android (tho various reasons here to delay). Until then, no problem to live without either.

                  Pretty pathetic that they had to gatekeep a minor feature like that. Seems like they're either building up to bard launch or they ran out of ideas.

                      Nobody cares about this "exclusive" feature.

                        Google needs to be forked out of Android. And trade banned in the EU for abusing their grip on Android.

                              Well, Circle to Search is more of a marketing gimmick than an actual feature. You can long press the home button to open google assistant and just select 'Search Screen', then instead of circling, you just need to highlight what you wanted to search. It has all the features of Circle to Search, including text selection, translation, image search etc. Circle to Search just reduces only one tap which doesn't even make sense.

                                It actually isn't cool even though I'm a Samsung user but at least I feel like it will surely still spread

                                Personally circle to search is one of the best new features that I see myself using alot

                                Android should be android like if Samsung own personal AI stuff don't spread to other android brands that's fine but Something Google the owner of android has made it's kinda not nice
