Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is now receiving a new update that introduces the acclaimed Circle to Search feature. The Galaxy S21 series received a single AI feature earlier this year but it excluded the Galaxy S21 FE where it didn’t receive the ‘Circle to Search’ feature but that’s changing now.
Samsung Galaxy S21 FE is now getting the August 2024 security patch which introduces the said AI feature for the device. Even though the S21 FE shares some hardware with its siblings, it didn’t have access to this feature until now, while other S21 series models had already received it.
Samsung partnered with Google to offer ‘Circle To Search’. If a user is using the three-button navigation system, they can long press on the home button, and circle, highlight, scribble on, or tap anything on the screen to see helpful, high-quality search results. And depending on a user‘s location, for certain searches, generative AI-powered overviews can provide helpful information and context pulled together from across the web, and users can ask more complex and nuanced questions.
