Circle to Search may appear on TECNO devices in October
Google may extend Circle to Search to more Android devices, and the first manufacturer to get this opportunity will be the Chinese company TECNO. According to the information, this feature will be available on the TECNO Phantom V Fold 2 folding phone from October.
Here's What We Know
Circle to Search, which debuted at the beginning of the year, allows users to quickly find images on their device with a simple gesture. This feature is considered to be more powerful and convenient than Google Lens, as it does not require switching between apps and works directly from any screen.
Google is reportedly planning to expand Circle to Search to more Android phones next month, ending the feature's exclusivity to Pixel and Samsung phones.

Until now, Circle to Search was only available on the flagship Pixel and Samsung Galaxy models. However, thanks to TECNO's announcement, this feature may become available to many more Android users.
Google hasn't officially confirmed the feature's expansion, but TECNO's announcement confirms the company's intention to expand Circle to Search to 200 million devices by the end of the year. Whether the feature will be available on other budget or mid-range devices remains to be seen.
