It looks like Motorola is joining the trend of integrating AI-based features into its phones, and its latest addition is the much-anticipated Circle to Search feature.
Initially exclusive to the Google Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, this tool allows users to search for information about anything they see on their screen simply by circling it.
Motorola is now preparing to introduce this feature on its own phones.

In a recent announcement, Motorola confirmed that Circle to Search would be heading to “select models.”
The company explained this feature as “a new way to search on select Motorola smartphones with a simple gesture,” allowing users to highlight, circle, or tap visual elements to quickly search for related information without having to exit the application they are using.
For example, if you are reading this article and want to know more about the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra, you can simply draw a circle around the image below, and Circle to Search will provide product details, reviews or where buy it. he.

This move by Motorola follows a broader trend among top Android phones, with brands like Xiaomi and Honor also adopting the Circle to Search feature for their high-end devices.
Although Motorola has confirmed the arrival of Circle to Search, it has yet to provide specific details on when the feature will roll out or which models will receive it.
Given the feature’s initial launch on other brands’ high-end devices, it’s likely that Motorola will follow suit, with the recent Motorola Razr 50, Razr 50 Ultra, and Edge 50 series being prime candidates for the initial release.
