Samsung introduces the Circle to Search feature to the Galaxy A series and the Galaxy Tab S9 FE series

Samsung introduces Circle to Search for select Galaxy A series and Galaxy Tab S9 FE models, making AI tools more accessible to midrange users.

Samsung has made a significant move towards making AI features more accessible by introducing one of its most popular tools, Circle to Search, to its midrange devices. This new feature is now available to select users of the Samsung Galaxy A series, the Galaxy Tab S9 FE, and the Galaxy Tab S9 FE+.

Samsung has announced that the Circle to Search feature will be available on the following Galaxy A series devices:

  • Samsung Galaxy A55
  • Samsung Galaxy A54
  • Samsung Galaxy A35
  • Samsung Galaxy A34

This marks a pivotal moment for Samsung as it joins the ranks of other smartphone brands like Google and OPPO, which have also integrated AI features into their midrange models. Adding Circle to Search is expected to enhance the user experience by offering an intuitive way to search for information.

How Circle to Search works

Circle to Search is an AI-powered feature designed to help you quickly search the internet for anything you see on your mobile device. Whether browsing through apps, watching videos, or using any other feature, Circle to Search allows you to find information with just a simple gesture. The feature works by conducting a Google search based on what you select on your screen, making it easier to learn more about the content you encounter in real time. An active internet connection is required for this feature to function.

While Circle to Search is a Google-developed feature, it was first introduced to Samsung users through the Galaxy S24 series. The decision to bring it to the Galaxy A series and Galaxy Tab S9 FE models reflects Samsung’s commitment to expanding the accessibility of advanced tools to a broader range of users.

Samsung has not provided an exact date for when the Circle to Search feature will be available on the mentioned devices. However, the company has indicated that the rollout of this feature will depend on users updating their devices to the latest version of the Android firmware. If you own one of the eligible Galaxy A series models or a Galaxy Tab S9 FE, you should watch for firmware updates to ensure you can start using Circle to Search as soon as it becomes available.

This move is part of Samsung’s broader strategy to democratise technology, ensuring that powerful AI tools are not just limited to premium devices but are also accessible to users of midrange models. By doing so, Samsung is enhancing the functionality and appeal of its midrange offerings, making it more competitive in a crowded market.

As Samsung continues to innovate and expand the capabilities of its devices, the introduction of Circle to Search to the Galaxy A series and Galaxy Tab S9 FE series indicates the brand’s focus on bringing advanced features to a broader audience.
