Oppo joins the growing list of Android manufacturers by adding Google’s Circle to Search feature to its devices. The company plans to announce this at the global launch of its Find X8 series tomorrow, too.
The Circle to Search feature enables you to search for any content on your screen effortlessly. You can use it to look up information, translate text, and perform currency conversions with a simple circling gesture.
ColorOS 15, Oppo’s latest software update, will power these new capabilities. The update brings more than just search features – it introduces Google Gemini integration, transforming how you interact with your smartphone. The Gemini app serves as an advanced voice assistant, offering real-time answers and chat support.
The software update enhances productivity by incorporating AI features in the Notes and Documents apps. You’ll find AI-powered tools like recording summaries and resume creation capabilities at your fingertips.
While Oppo confirms the Find X8 and Find X8 Pro will receive these features, they haven’t specified which other devices will get the Circle to Search functionality. The global rollout begins November 21, marking Oppo’s first X-series launch outside China in several years.
This update puts Oppo in league with other major manufacturers like Samsung, Pixel, Xiaomi, Honor, and Motorola, who already offer the Circle to Search feature on their devices. The move signals Oppo’s commitment to bringing cutting-edge AI features to its international users.
