Samsung and Google Partner on New AI Feature, Circle to Search, for Flagship Phones - Exclusivity Draws Backlash
-
Circle to Search is a new AI feature unveiled by Samsung and Google for their latest devices - the Galaxy S24 series and Pixel 8 series.
-
It was created through a partnership between Samsung and Google.
-
Circle to Search will remain exclusive to just Samsung and Google devices until at least October 2024.
-
This move is seen as gatekeeping and could anger other Android device makers.
-
It's not the first time Google and Samsung have exclusivity over software features - they've done similar with Wear OS.
