Between these, “Circle and Search“, which allows users to perform web searches by drawing a circle around items of interest in images, a prominent AI feature introduced on Galaxy S24 and Pixel 8.
“Notes Assist” facilitates note management, offering a summary function to summarize notes and translation functions, while “Browsing Assist” generates summaries of news articles.
“Transcript Assist” transcribes recordings of meetings, while “Chat Assist” optimizes the tone of messages to communicate effectively.
“Interpreter” And “Live Translate” enable conversations between different languages simplifying real-time communications and translations.
Finally, the option of “Generative Editing” allows users to resize or edit photos with suggestions from artificial intelligence.
