Google’s Circle to Search is coming to more phones, including China’s HONOR | Technology News

Chinese smartphone brand HONOR has announced that Google’s visual gesture search feature, Circle to Search, will be coming to its Magic V3 foldable smartphone as well as the HONOR 200 series smartphones. In a press note announcing the availability of Circle to Google Search, HONOR said the feature will provide a “seamless and intuitive search experience” to its users.

With the introduction of Circle to Search on the HONOR 200 series smartphones, they will be among the first non-Samsung or Google devices in India to offer this gesture search feature. Although the HONOR Magic V3 has been launched in several regions, it is not yet available in India.

Google’s Circle to Search is also present on Xiaomi’s new 14T smartphone, which is expected to hit the Indian market by the end of this year. Additionally, China’s Tecno has confirmed that Circle to Search will be included in its upcoming Phantom V Fold 2 smartphone.

First introduced with the Galaxy S24 series, Circle to Search has since expanded to various flagship and mid-range models within the Samsung Galaxy and Pixel lineups. With brands like HONOR, Xiaomi, and Tecno adopting this feature, other manufacturers including OnePlus, Vivo, and OPPO are expected to follow suit in the near future.

Google is reportedly working on new features for Circle to Search. Although the ability to scan barcodes and QR codes using the gesture search feature is already rolling out, the ability to search for any video via Circle to Search is reportedly under development.
