Motorola introduces the Circle to Search feature on its premium range of smartphones

Motorola, through its partnership with Google, wants to offer advanced search tools based on artificial intelligence, smart messaging and photo editing, all of which redefine the way users connect with the world around them. As the partnership evolves, users will be able to personalize and streamline their everyday work through access to innovations from Motorola.

Find information more easily with Circle to Search from Google

You can search for anything without having to switch between apps, and that’s exactly what Circle to Search offers, a search method that will be added to certain Motorola smartphones (updated compatibility list can be consulted here), through a simple gesture. With just a circle, highlight, handwriting, or simple tap, users can instantly get the information they need without leaving the app they’re in.

Whether they’re browsing social media and come across an unfamiliar term, a pair of shoes catches their eye, or want to learn more about a restaurant’s menu, Circle to Search allows users to search what’s displayed on their device without screenshots may be required. Moreover, Circle to Search will be able to identify songs by long-pressing the home button or the navigation bar (users need to press the music button to identify the song).

Start conversations with Gemini Live

Talk to Gemini, your AI assistant from Google to boost creativity and productivity. Now, with Gemini Live, you can have more natural conversations because there is no need to write, but you can talk directly to Gemini to get clear and fast answers. Want ideas for a party, gifts or a holiday? Gemini helps you find the best solutions. You can discuss anything that interests you or prepare for an important event with the help of Gemini Live. You can find Gemini Live on the external screen of the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra and Motorola Razr 50 phones, the service being only available in English.

Smarter, personalized and interactive conversations with Rich Communication Services

Google Messages on Motorola devices provides users with all of Google’s advanced messaging features. With support for RCS (Rich Communication Services, currently only available in the United States of America), the modern messaging standard, Google Messages is changing the way we connect. Google Messages takes customization to the next level and gives users the option to change the color of message bubbles, the backgrounds of conversations and the person they’re communicating with, shoot and send a selfie GIF, so that every conversation is unique. Users can also easily continue their conversations on a phone, tablet or computer without losing any detail.

Also, with RCS enabled, users will benefit from quality image and video exchange, typing indicators, delivered messages and read receipts, as well as improved group chats when messaging iPhone users. In addition, Motorola and Lenovo customers can take advantage of Smart Connect for an even more fluent cross-device experience.

Messaging is getting smarter, thanks to Google’s AI-powered tools that enable features like Gemini in Google Messages and Magic Compose. When looking for suggestions or support for tasks like planning or finding gift ideas, users can chat with Gemini directly through Google Messages. Magic Compose provides users with ways to create stylized suggested responses for effortless communication. For example, the feature provides context-based responses, saving time, and messages will sound natural. Users can go further by rewriting a message in a more formal or funny tone to communicate more effectively, depending on the context.

Edit, organize and search with Google Photos AI

With Google Photos as the photo app on Motorola smartphones, users gain access to their images across multiple devices thanks to integration into the Google ecosystem. This enables seamless cloud sharing, collaboration and backup with automatic synchronization. In addition, Google’s advanced AI editing features such as Magic Editor, Magic Eraser and Photo Unblur allow users to easily edit their memories.

With Magic Editor, generative artificial intelligence helps with photo editing. Users will be able to reposition the subject, enhance backgrounds and adjust image elements with simple gestures, making editing a breeze.

The partnership between Motorola and Google ensures access to tools that simplify and improve everyday work, and Motorola will thus continue to provide the best solutions for users.
