, Even the latest products in Samsung Electronics’ budget device line, the Galaxy A series, will now be able to use the ‘Circle to Search’ convenience feature previously available on the Galaxy S series.,
,
, ‘Samsung Electronics announced that it has begun updating to support ‘Circle to Search’, one of the key features of the AI application service Galaxy AI, on the latest Galaxy A series and the tablet Galaxy Tab S9 FE models starting from the 20th.’, The Galaxy A34, A35 5G, and Galaxy Quantum4 are among the Galaxy A lineup to be updated., ‘, Along with the Galaxy A55 5G available overseas, the upcoming domestic version of the Galaxy Quantum5, expected to be released as early as this month, is also anticipated to support Circle to Search.,
,
, Circle to Search is a feature that allows users to search images by long-pressing the ‘Home Button’ at any screen and drawing a circle or line above the screen. If text is selected, it can be translated immediately. Samsung Electronics introduced Circle to Search in collaboration with Google starting from the Galaxy S24 earlier this year, and currently provides similar functions not only on the latest Galaxy products but also on many other Android smartphones.,

,
, Through the expansion of Circle to Search, Samsung Electronics is even closer to its plan to apply Galaxy AI to over 200 million Galaxy products by the end of this year, ‘. However, it is unlikely that real-time interpretation provided on the latest smartphones will be available on the Galaxy A series. This is because in devices with relatively lower performance, it may be difficult to operate given that they use on-device AI for the service. Samsung Electronics previously offered the latest Galaxy AI features introduced with devices like the Galaxy Z Flip6 and Fold6 through updates to older models, but considering performance, only some features like Circle to Search are supported on products like the Galaxy S21 released in 2021.’,

, ‘No Tae-moon, President of the MX(Mobile eXperience) Business Division at Samsung Electronics, stated, “We are striving to allow more customers to experience mobile AI innovation” and expressed, “Through this update, more Galaxy users will be able to enjoy innovative AI search experiences.”‘,
