How Circle to Search Works
With Circle to Search enabled on these devices, users can draw a circle around any item displayed on their screen—be it text or images—and initiate an instant search. This functionality allows users to quickly gather information about products in images or learn more about landmarks depicted in photos. The feature aims to streamline the search process and improve overall user productivity.
Expansion Plans
While the Xiaomi 14T series will be the first to feature Circle to Search officially on Xiaomi devices, the company plans to roll out this capability across various models in its Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO lineups. This move aligns with Xiaomi’s broader strategy of integrating advanced AI functionalities into its smartphones to enhance user experience and productivity.
