Google has released a new #BestPhonesForever ad on YouTube, and it’s yet another fun addition to the series. In this one, the iPhone is in denial over Pixel’s Circle to Search feature, basically.
iPhone is basically in denial over Pixel’s Circle to Search feature in Google’s new ad
The ad starts with the two devices being placed in an apartment setting, the iPhone’s apartment, to be exact. The thing is, the entire apartment is covered in red circles. It turns out the iPhone circled various objects it wants to search later.
The Pixel is in shock as to what happened, while the iPhone refers to it as its Circle to Search feature. As many of you know, Pixel phones now have a very neat Circle to Search feature, as this is Google’s way of promoting it.
The ad itself has a runtime of less than a minute, and it’s embedded below the article. This is one of many #BestFriendsForever ads that Google released thus far. They’re basically always used to promote some of the Pixel’s features.
If Google plans on releasing these ads in the future, we’ll basically get a new one every time a major Pixel feature launches. Some of these ads end up being quite entertaining, that’s for sure.
This feature was announced back in January
Google announced the Circle to Search feature back in January. It started rolling out at the very end of January to a couple of phones. It arrived to the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, in addition to the Galaxy S24 series.
More Pixel phones have started getting the feature quite recently, by the way. So Google apparently saw a great opportunity to release this ad and promote that new feature.
It’s actually rather useful. You can basically circle anything on the screen in order to fire up a Google search, as the name of the feature says. There’s no word whether this feature will ever see the light of day on iOS.
