Nothing OS 3.0 Introduces AI-Powered Circle to Search
Nothing has launched its latest software update, Nothing OS 3.0, featuring the AI-powered “Circle to Search” tool. This feature redefines how users interact with their devices, providing an intuitive way to perform web searches, translations, and text extraction tasks. The update is rolling out to Nothing Phone (2), Phone (2a), and Phone (2a) Plus models, with each device receiving tailored improvements.
Revolutionary Interaction
Circle to Search utilizes AI to create a seamless, gesture-driven interaction. Users can draw a circle, scribble, or highlight objects and text on their screens to activate various functions, such as searching the web, translating languages, or copying content. This feature eliminates the need for traditional menus and buttons, offering a direct and efficient interface.
Unlike conventional tools like Google Lens, Circle to Search integrates deeply with Nothing OS 3.0, reflecting the brand’s minimalist and user-focused philosophy.
Enhanced User Experience
The Nothing OS 3.0 update brings Android 15 to Nothing’s smartphone lineup, with availability as follows:
- The phased rollout ensures stability and optimal performance for each device.
- Notably, the Phone (2a) Plus supports Circle to Search even in its beta phase, demonstrating the adaptability of this advanced feature.
Circle to Search stands out as a significant innovation in gesture-based navigation. Beyond circling, users can scribble or highlight to trigger advanced searches or extract text for translation and copying. This flexibility reduces reliance on multiple apps and offers a more streamlined interaction.
The feature benefits from Nothing OS 3.0’s clean, bloatware-free environment. Key integrations include:
- Three years of Android updates
- Four years of security patches promised
Nothing ensures long-term support for its user base, setting a new standard in device interaction.
