Google’s January feature drop for Pixel smartphones includes new functionality like Circle to Search, AI-powered message editing, and body temperature scans for the Pixel 8 Pro.
A “fresh” new color for the Pixel 8 series isn’t the only thing Google is announcing today. The company is also detailing its latest feature drop, which brings the brand-new Circle to Search feature — first seen on Samsung’s Galaxy S24 — to both the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro. Google says Circle to Search will go live on January 31st, which just so happens to be the release date for Samsung’s S24 lineup.
That processing happens on-device in the case of the Pixel 8 Pro, but Google’s other phones will be able to leverage the cloud to give their messages a professional tone or make them more concise. This feature drop also changes what was previously Nearby Share to the simplified Quick Share branding now shared by Google and Samsung. The functionality is still the same: Quick Share lets you send content to nearby Android, ChromeOS, and Windows devices that support the feature.
