Google Lens Set to Incorporate 'Circle to Search' Expanding Reach to Over 200 Million Users by 2024

Published July 1, 2024

In a move that stands to revolutionize the way millions interact with the world around them digitally, Google's 'Circle to Search' feature is poised for a significant expansion. Once an exclusive tool available only on a select few Samsung Galaxy models and Google Pixel phones, plans reveal that the advanced AI-driven visual search capability is expected to be integrated into Google Lens. This integration implies that the feature will see an unprecedented increase in accessibility, potentially touching over 200 million users by 2024.

An Overview of 'Circle to Search'

Google's 'Circle to Search' is an innovative AI feature that has been limited to select smartphone models, including the anticipated Samsung Galaxy S24. Leveraging this tool allows users to search for information visually by simply circling an object of interest on their screen. The feature then utilizes a powerful artificial intelligence algorithm to identify the object and provide relevant search results and information instantly.

Impact on SSNLF and GOOG

The incorporation of 'Circle to Search' into the broader Google Lens platform is anticipated to impact the market positions of both Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. SSNLF and Alphabet Inc. GOOG, the parent company of Google. Alphabet is notably recognized as the fourth-largest technology firm globally by revenue and stands as one of the most valuable companies to date. It's this scale and market position that will allow Alphabet to take 'Circle to Search' to new heights upon its integration into Google Lens, greatly enhancing the utility and scope of the app, and potentially affecting the company's stock performance positively.
