Google Pixel 8 and Samsung Galaxy S24 get new "Circle to Search" feature.

The fresh flagships of the two tech giants are getting a new "Circle to Search" gesture triggered by holding down the home button or gesture navigation bar. The info on your screen will then open up in Google Lens.

From here, you'll be able to circle or scribble an object of interest to "focus" your search query on it or, if you're looking for text, tap and highlight the info you want. When you’re done, simply swipe away and you’re right back where you started.

The "Circle to Search" feature launches on January 31 on the Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro and the new Samsung Galaxy S24 series - in all languages and in all regions where they're available.
