The 'Circle to Search' feature is now expanding to selected Galaxy A series devices as well as the Galaxy Tab S9 FE and Tab S9 FE+.

A Google feature that launched with the Galaxy S24 and Pixel 8 series earlier this year, it allows users to circle, highlight, or tap anywhere on the screen to look up text, images, or videos they want to search.

It has since gained other functions, such as full-page translation, homework help, and QR and barcode reading capabilities.

The Galaxy A series devices that will be seeing the update are the Galaxy A*5, Galaxy A54, Galaxy A35, and Galaxy A34.

'Circle to Search' has been a handy tool for Samsung's more recent flagship phones, so it coming to their mid-range devices could be promising news.
