Following the launch of the Galaxy S24 series, Google introduced the Circle to Search feature in January, which is currently only available on a limited number of Android devices. Samsung announced in a press release in the Netherlands that this situation will remain unchanged for the next few months. Samsung discussed the success of the Galaxy S24 series, outpacing pre-orders for the Galaxy S23 series. However, it also mentioned that Circle to Search will expand to more Android phones in the future. Interestingly, Samsung stated that Circle to Search will remain exclusive to the Google Pixel 8 and the Galaxy S24 series for most of 2024, with the possibility of expansion to other Android devices from October 5th. The company also confirmed that there are no ongoing updates. Although the current timeline may seem unlikely, it aligns with the launch of Google Pixel 9. It is speculated that Samsung will not release subsequent models without integrating Circle to Search. As for the Pixel 8a, its release may follow soon. In all fairness, most Circle to Search features are already accessible on all Android devices. However, the delayed rollout to other devices is disappointing given the convenience and efficiency of Circle to Search.
