Motorola phones to get Circle to Search, but which one remains mystery

The Circle to Search is an amazing feature that allows searching for information about visual elements you see on the web just by circling it. Initially, the feature made it to the Galaxy S24 Ultra, Google Pixel 8, and Pixel 8 Pro. However, the feature has been slowly moving towards smartphones from other brands too. Now, it seems Motorola is also joining the party by bringing the Circle to Search feature to its phones.

Motorola announces the Circle to Search feature is coming to its phones

Last week, Motorola announced that its smartphones will be getting the Circle to Search feature. In the announcement post, Motorola explains how the features work which isn’t a mystery as of now. A part of Motorola’s announcement reads “Imagine being able to search for something without having to switch between apps. That’s exactly what Circle to Search offers — a new way to search on select Motorola smartphones with a simple gesture.”

Once available, Motorola phone users will be able to highlight, scribble, tap, or circle the element seen on the web to get additional information about it. The best part is you don’t have to leave an app for the same. Let’s say, you end you seeing a sneaker put on by your favorite YouTube influencer in one of their videos.

In this case, you can simply trigger the Circle to Search feature and scribble around that pair of shoes to get more information about it, that too without leaving the app. Handy, right? In short, this AI feature lets you search for anything that you see on your mobile screen.

There’s no information on when and which Motorola phones will get this feature

To our surprise, the company hasn’t announced when exactly Circle to Search comes to Motorola phones. We also don’t know which Android phones from Motorola will get it first. Since other brands have limited the rollout of the Circle to Search feature to some of their high-end phones, we expect Motorola to do the same.

Therefore, you can expect to see the feature on the 2024 Motorola Razr foldable initially. All in all, it seems brands are cashing in to the AI hype going on all around the world. Last month only, Xiaomi launched a smartphone with Circle to Search. Moreover, Honor also plans to bring the feature to some of its high-end phones.
