On the sidelines of Google devices, the visual search tool is also being included on the Samsung Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy Z Fold5, Galaxy Z Flip5, and Galaxy Tab S9 series. To avail this feature, user must ensure the installation of latest Google app, as it's a server-side update.

Translation on Circle to Search

Besides its debut to additional devices, the feature will also offer in-line translations, which, once activated, will be located next to the Google app's search bar, and will allow users to “instantly translate whatever’s on your screen.” To keep the context of the text intact, the translated text will replace the original one.

Catering to the e-shopping domain, the feature is being bestowed with a more personalised “style recommendations” when looking for apparel, shoes, and accessories, like “straw tote bags” or “men’s polo shirts.”

Another perk on top of this is that users “can rate options with a thumbs up or thumbs down, or a simple swipe right or left, and instantly see personalised results,” and then Google will “remember your preferences” in case you get back with a similar query.
