Google’s Circle to Search Feature Rolling Out to Pixel 6 Series, Samsung Galaxy S23 Lineup, and More

Google’s Circle to Search was introduced in January this year with the Samsung Galaxy S24 series. This was packed alongside a few other AI-backed features like Live Translate and Note Assist. However, later that month, with the January Pixel feature drop, the tech giant brought the feature to the Pixel 8 models. Earlier in March, the company also extended this feature to the Pixel 7 lineup. Now, Google has announced that more Android handsets will have access to the Circle to Search tool.

The Mountain View-based search giant has confirmed that the feature is “currently rolling out to more Android devices”. The rollout will begin this week and it will be available on the Google Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7a, Pixel Fold, and Pixel Tablet. It will also be available on the Samsung Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, Galaxy S23 Ultra, Galaxy S23 FE, Galaxy Z Fold 5, and Galaxy Z Flip 5 as well as the Galaxy Tab S9 series.

As of today, Google’s Circle to Search feature is already available in several flagship handsets including Samsung Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, Galaxy S24 Ultra, Google Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 8, and Pixel 8 Pro.

Google also mentioned in the post that the Circle to Search feature can help users shop for specific styles or items without much hassle. It can also assist users during their travels to foreign places, especially ones with a different language than their native ones, by instantly translating anything that is on their screen. All users need to do is long-press the home button or navigation bar and tap the translate option.

The Circle to Search feature allows users to search anything, instantly, without switching apps with a few gestures. Users can circle, scribble, highlight or tap anything on their screen, like images, part of an image or text, and opt for the search option. It not only gives information quicker but with Generative AI support, it is meant to aid in more complex research.

Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 alongside the Galaxy Tab S9 series and Galaxy Watch 6 series at its first Galaxy Unpacked event in South Korea.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, Galaxy Z Flip Could Offer 25W Charging Just Like Their Predecessors

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 could be unveiled in the second half of this year. Multiple leaks and rumours about the next-generation foldable phones have already started appearing on the Web and most recently we get hints about their charging capabilities. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 have allegedly bagged certification from China’s Compulsory Certification (3C) website. The listing suggests the charging support on the upcoming devices, which is no different to the wired charging speed of the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5.

In the 3C listing, spotted by Myfixguide, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 are listed with model numbers “SM-F9560” and “SM-F4710”, respectively. As per the listing, the handsets have a bundled Samsung EP-TA800 charger indicating 25W wired charging support, similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5. The listing also confirms 5G connectivity on the upcoming models.

The Galaxy Z Flip 6 is rumoured to carry a 4,000mAh battery. Last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 5 features a 4,400mAh battery, while the Galaxy Z Flip 5 houses a 3,700mAh battery. Samsung has used similar charging technology for its previous flagships like the Galaxy S series phones.

Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 in July in Paris. The book-style foldable is tipped to come with titanium frames similar to the Galaxy S24 Ultra smartphone. The Galaxy Z Flip 6’s cover screen is said to have 120Hz refresh rate. It is tipped to come in 8GB or 12GB RAM options with 256GB or 512GB storage options.

As per past leaks, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will be available in three colour options — dark blue, light pink, and silver. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 could be offered in light blue, light green, silver, and yellow colourways.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Prototype Images Leak, Hinting at Four Possible Design Options

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra could be launched by the company next year as the successor to the Galaxy S24 Ultra that was unveiled by the company in January. While the launch of the purported Galaxy S25 Ultra is several months away, a tipster has claimed that Samsung is currently considering four prototypes of the handset, with subtle differences in design. The leaked image suggests that Samsung’s next flagship phone could be similar in appearance to the Galaxy S24 Ultra.

An image with four smartphone designs was leaked by user PandaFlash (X: @ReaSufyanWaleed) via a post on X (formerly Twitter). The tipster claims that Samsung is testing these prototypes for its next flagship smartphone, the purported Galaxy S25 Ultra. The four designs appear to be similar, with minor changes over the Galaxy S24 Ultra model.

The first prototype shows the phone with slim bezels and a design that is similar to the current flagship model, while third and fourth renders show a thinner frame (the last one is shown with slightly rounded edges. The second one depicts a phone with extremely slim bezels and a very thin frame. All four versions show what appears to be an S Pen located at the bottom edge on the left side.

It is worth noting that these leaked designs have surfaced several months ahead of the anticipated arrival of the Galaxy S25 Ultra. A recent report stated that Samsung expects to decide the product specifications and component suppliers for its next flagship handsets by the end of May, and we can expect to hear more details about the successors to the Galaxy S24 Ultra in the coming months.

Unlike this year’s Galaxy S24 series, Samsung is expected to equip all smartphones in next year’s lineup with Exynos chipsets. Back in January, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ with Exynos 2400 chips in global markets, while customers in North America and China had access to a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered variant. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset in all markets.

Samsung Galaxy S23, Galaxy Z Fold 5, More to Receive One UI 6.1 Update With Galaxy AI on March 28

Samsung announced the rollout timeline for the One UI 6.1 update, which is now confirmed to bring the Galaxy AI artificial intelligence (AI) features to more devices across the Galaxy ecosystem on Tuesday. The company confirmed that the AI features will be added to the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy S23 FE, Galaxy Z Flip 5, Galaxy Z Fold 5, and the Galaxy Tab S9 series. The announcement comes after a report recently revealed that some Galaxy S23 series users in China were allegedly notified about the new update.

In its newsroom post, Samsung revealed that the One UI 6.1 update, the first major update to the Android 14-based One UI 6.0 that was released in October 2023, will begin rolling out across the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy S23 FE, Galaxy Z Fold 5, and Galaxy Z Flip 5 in the US starting March 28. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series will also get the update beginning this week. Most users are expected to begin receiving the update in April. While the company did not mention a global rollout, it is expected to be available in all regions next month.

Making the announcement, the company said, “Galaxy AI puts our groundbreaking suite of AI tools in the palm of more users’ hands in different form factors — tailoring the mobile experience to their needs.”

The South Korean tech giant first announced the expansion of Galaxy AI features to more devices earlier in March. Now, once the update rolls out, users will be able to use features such as Circle to Search, which adds the capability to draw a circle to highlight or select an object and run a visual search on Google, all while staying on the app. Another feature is Live Translate which allows two-way, real-time voice and live caption translations of phone calls. Samsung’s AI-based photo editing tool Generative Edit as well as Chat Assist in Samsung Keyboard will also arrive with the One UI 6.1 update.

Last week, a report highlighted that TM Roh, the President of Samsung’s mobile division, said at the company’s shareholders’ meeting in Seoul that some of the Galaxy AI features could also be expanded to the Samsung Galaxy S22 series. The series was reportedly not considered to get the AI features due to a lack of required hardware capabilities.

Samsung One UI 6.1 With Galaxy AI Might Debut on Galaxy S23 Series This Week

Samsung’s One UI 6.1 was announced in January with the launch of the Galaxy S24 series. The Android 14-based custom skin includes several AI-based features, dubbed Galaxy AI, could reach older Galaxy handsets soon. Last year’s Galaxy S23 series and its latest foldables were said to get Galaxy AI features initially. Samsung has allegedly notified some Galaxy S23 series users in China that a new update will be landing on March 28. The global rollout may take place later.

Samsung enthusiast Tarun Vats on X claimed that the company has notified some Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra users in China that a new update will be landing on March 28. The tipster posted a screenshot on the microblogging platform highlighting the notification. Separately, he posted that the Galaxy S23 FE in Korea will also get all the AI functions of the Galaxy S24. If this rumour turns out to be true, we can expect a wider rollout in the coming weeks.

A month ago, Samsung confirmed that the Galaxy S23 series and latest foldables will receive the new One UI 6.1 update sometime in March. The company didn’t reveal an exact release date for the update. The Galaxy S23 series, the Galaxy Z Fold 5, and Galaxy Z Flip 5 smartphones are confirmed to be the first to receive the new custom skin. The Galaxy S23 FE, and Galaxy Tab S9 series are also believed to get the update in the first half of this year.

Samsung’s One UI 6.1 includes many AI-backed features Live Translate, Chat Assist, Note Assist, and Circle to Search as part of the new Galaxy AI experience introduced on the Galaxy S24 lineup. The Chat Assist functionality can be used to translate languages in real-time or perform tone corrections in texts and emails. The Google-backed Circle to Search combines text-based queries with visual search. Live Translate is effective for two-way real-time voice and text translations of phone calls. Samsung plans to bring the Galaxy AI to over 100 million devices worldwide this year.

The Galaxy Z Flip 6 is said to feature either an Exynos SoC or a Snapdragon chip, depending on the region. This move could align with the recent release of the Galaxy S24 series. It could feature a cover screen with 120Hz refresh rate and up to 512GB of storage. Additionally, the book-style foldable is tipped to come with a titanium frame. Samsung also used a titanium frame on the flagship Galaxy S24 Ultra.

Earlier this year, the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ arrived in India with the Exynos 2400 processor, while the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC powered the phones in regions like the US and Canada.
