All the news about Google’s Pixel 8, 8 Pro and 8A

It’s hard to think of a more self-explanatory feature than Circle to Search: it does exactly what it sounds like. You circle something on your phone screen, tap a button and that’s it! A page full of Google search results telling you what you’ve circled. Easy, right? The new feature it’s launching on five phones to start – the three members of Samsung’s new Galaxy S24 series, as well as Google’s Pixel 8 and 8 Pro – before arriving at other “select and premium” Android phones.

Well, maybe it is he does I need a little explanation. If the feature sounds familiar, you might be thinking of Google Lens, which is similar. But instead of opening the Google app, you can use Circle to search anywhere on your device. Just press and hold the home button if you’re using three-button navigation – or the navigation handle if you’re using gesture navigation – and it will appear at the top of whatever app or screen you’re currently using. You can circle, highlight, or tap a subject, including text and images.
