They should add them in older models 🤔
I'm sure they will
They will
Nah
@@user-em6br6jf8b Pixel 6 and 7 will get it surely
Lol if they do that it'll make the s24 look like trash and Google isn't going to do that to their friend sammy! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thanks for clearing up how to launch! ☺️ I was wondering!
Such a useful video on how to get the most out of CTS - selection of text in a video! Brilliant!
I received this feature as well on my Pixel 8 Pro yesterday but I'm still on the November 1, 2023 Google Play System update. I'm on the January 5, 2014 security update. Interesting.
Great explanation, the best one I´ve seen so far 👍
Awesome channel, thanks!
Another great day when you upload 👍
În this video I have learned some new functions that my phone has.
One thing I find in the software of different pixels is even if the same features are provided in different models, execution is different. Magic eraser in a series is not as good in pro series.
There is a quick way to launch google lens almost everywhere including when watching videos. Swipe from the buttom corners to call out google assistant and there will be a "search screen" button. It can do a lot of things that circle to search does
I need this in my Pixel 7
u don't have to be on January 2024 for the Google play services, I'm still at the November version and got it. the January update. I can't get the January update and my last info was it went on hold due the same write/read permission bug that appeared not long ago. otherwise it's insane how fast and good circle to search is now. like I circled a screenshot from a recent Netflix series and found instantly what series it was and the actor. (though its more user based for the most part to find similar pictures) technically it's an updated version of lens but it feels like it is to find the specific objects almost instantly
In KZhead videos, no screenshot is needed if you don't have Google's new "Circle (to square) To Search". swipe up > tap image > tap lens (also "add to your search" is right there) Or just use Google Assistant to search the screen with lens. The whole "you don't have to leave the app" is kinda funny. Once you pull up the new "circle to square to search" results, the app you're using gets covered. Now you need to swipe/pull back down to uncover your app. The Pixel lens method, you just swipe right with the navigation bar and you see your app again. So, altogether we save maybe one tap with the new "circle to square to search the same search results we've been searching with lens". 😂😂
One thing I notice on my pixel 8 pro is that sometimes the feature is unresponsive for a good 10secs or so and so I move on with my life and then finally it decides to do its thing and brings me back to where I initiated the search
Is there currently a way to side load thr feature on other pixel models?
Very useful feature! Can you post your wallpaper? It's very cool
The January Google Play system update is stopped due to errors it causes in storage. I have circle to serch in November
Hi emad, Just a heads up. If you have lately started facing glitchy recent screen after making this video on pixel phones, you should know that this bug is triggered by switching the navigation gesture to buttons and vice versa and apparently doing it again fixes the problem. Maybe you need three four tries but that's how I fixed it. Since you switched the navigation system in this video too... I would like you to know that.😊
Does the uk gets all these features ? Thanks
So I recently got back into the stable version of Android and I still have this feature even though I'm on the August Google Play services update
I have a specific question when it come to this feature and some other Pixel features. I have a Red Magic 9 Pro, the US unlocked version. Can I get circle to search on my phone along with Magic compose?
The feature does not depend on a recent Google Play System Update. I'm stuck on August 2023 on my new Pixel 8, cause the current Update is paused and i can use Circle to Search already.
will pixel 7 series get that?
we need the option to add google lens as a quick settings tile
Can you check out shich AI Features work without Network connection?
I'm using pixelOS a rom for Xiaomi 11 lite NE circle to search works great for me
Do you have problems using one hand gesture, does Google circle feature activates accidentally there?
How to enable in other device such as vivo , oppo or mi?
How to disable quick setting panel if phone is locked. Google Pixel 8 Pro thanks
Does the phone support LE audio? Pls do reply me without fail
Weird I have the feature but my security update is still on Nov 1.
me too on pixel 7 pro. weird
@@laibabdalim4004 Do you this feature on your pixel 7 pro?
You don't need any VPN apps to activate it, all You have to do just go to the Navigation mode settings and then turn off Hold handle to search and enable it again. 👍🏻
Doesn't work for everyone tried that several times. I'm on the QPR beta and Google app beta not sure if that is the reason why I don't have it as the VPN never worked either.
Will this feature make its way to android 11 devices?
I don't get the search bar if I keep pressed on the line on the bottom?
Are you using qpr beta and still got this update?
This is something that all smartphones should have in 2024 I mean come on we are the future now ! Smartphones should be smart
How to enable smart compose (magic compose ) in Google massages
Wish iOS had something like this, seems very useful
This should be universal across Android 14
Plz send this wallpaper link
Im still only on Google Play system update: November 1, 2023 :( I hahsnt received any update
Would you recommend the Pixel over something like Vivo X100 Pro or Oneplus 12, even though it has a slower chip? S24 Ultra is way too much for me so that's out of the question.
Watch his stress test between the pixel 8 and iphone and Samsung. They both have more powerful chips technically but the pixel outperforms them both in some categories. It's a multitasking beast.
if you don't play the heaviest games, then pixel is a great option
@@Ti.a409 I wouldn't be gaming all that much on it. Maybe some COD Mobile at the highest. Not a fan of Genshin and such. Maybe some emulation, although I'm planning to eventually get a handheld for that purpose. Camera and battery life are the highest priority.
@@ALph4cro Well, cal of duty is 60fps on maximum graphics and 70-80fps on medium graphics (battle royale), and in “network mode” there are 120fps on medium graphics and 60fps on maximum graphics
Why do everyone keep saying they have to take a screenshot inorder to search? In my pixel 6a if I swipe from the bottom edge, assistant gets activated and there is an option that asks 'search screen'. Tapping on that option lets you search images on your screen. Works just like circle to search. Its just that you cannot circle. But, you can make selection.
Exactly, that's what I'm trying to figure out as well ... I see everyone so excited about it but I'm just thinking to myself that we've been able to do this for quite some time now, just a different method besides circling
I guess circle to search, is maybe a second quicker
5:25 - haptic feedback is not getting enough attention on Android. I feel like the latest Pixel devices are the best while Samsung is still way behind. Can you make a video about the subject? I think this requires some awareness....
will it come to pixel 7 series?
It is now with the march pixel feature drop
My Pixel 8 Pro is somehow stuck on November 2023 Play system update. Guess I'll have to wait, this inconsistency in the updates rollout is annoying man.
I'm still on the November update but have the feature on my Pixel 8 Pro. So it doesn't appear to be dependant of that update.
I still have not this update google app is oke but google play system still from november one 2023
This feature activated automatically on my pixel with November play system update...so no need to be on the January one..
It was bound to come sooner or later, I have no idea why Samsung was touting this as a feature for S24, when literally all androids can and should be able to do it
google play system update is not relevant as i got the feature with the November 23 version
Can u share the apk?
Lol What a stupid update. It does exactly the same as before but now making a drawing.... Thx for the video!!
S24: 🤯
Gotta love how nobody knows about the search screen function in Android that has been doing the exact same thing for ages. Are people really that dumb?! All Samsung had to do was slap a name on top of it to make people go "Whoa". It is equivalent of saying the same joke but louder.
Yah. Like Emad said it's really just Assistant Screen Search but with fancy animations. However, I have noticed with personal testing and from online discussions that Circle to Search is actually somehow worse. Instead of using the full Lens feature set, it instead uses a dumbed down version. No translate or work button, no auto select, not even smart recognition (barcodes and QR codes), and that's just some of the handicaps that I have come across myself. Who knows how many other features weren't ported over to this mass marketed rebrand of a feature.
Agree. So disappointed that even this channel seems don't know about it. Do they even know how to use their phone? Lol
When will it come to pixel 6a 😢?
Tomorrow
They should allow to trigger this on double tap on back😂
Google Play Services is still on November 2023. 😢
Damn, pixel is starting to dominate the smart usage of phone space.
Doesn't work in Saudi Arabia on my 8 pro
I like pixel phones, but I hope they fix their OS
Looks cool and the tech is great and all but this is just gonna be another feature that will be abandoned in no time. Weve seen countless redesign of google assistant and google now. Non of them stayed.
I wouldn’t see myself using this anyways. Only in very rare cases.
Omg apple did this first!
This is just an update to Google lens why can't it just be on all phones
"Our new innovation", when iPhone add this feature hopefully in 5years, the apple way. You know sometimes I feel sorry for apple users, it's difficult to switch 😢
I have no pixel but I have Circle to search
How?
Samsung @@sanjaydenis4395
Don't why i thought this was a update relating to January patch showing better performance 😅
The google fold should got this update..$1800 phone left behind.. smh
I am not sold. It's just the easier way of doing what any smartphone does
I have pixel 8 in poland the newest store update is from november and google version js also older although the system is updated to january 5th. No circle to search...google fucks with us
It's OK. But it's strange how Samsung bring this future before google them self?
Pixel 8, still no January update, I hate the release by batches, they should do like apple, release at the same time for everyone
I still didn't get the update and just clicked on the bottom line for fun... ✨ CIRCLE TO EARCH ACTIVATED ✨ lmao i was so surprised..
@@Admirablesmc Yo! Is true, looks like there is no need for the Jan update to use the feature! thanks for reporting!
But Samsung copier IA 😢 to Google
So called "in-depth tech review" but does even know the basic google assistant search screen feature that literally do almost tue same thing.......
