Xiaomi 14T Series: Circle to Search and other AI features

Google Circle to Search is a visual-search tool that allows users to look up for anything by just circling on it. This feature is powered by Artificial Intelligence and helps with quick runs on the web. The feature offers flexible interaction methods, allowing users to initiate a visual search by circling, scribbling, or simply tapping on an object on their screen. Additionally, the tool can attempt to automatically identify the desired object with a single tap. To access this feature, users can activate it with a long press on the home button or bottom navigation bar, providing a convenient and intuitive experience.

Right now, the feature is only available on Samsung and Pixel phones, but this is going to change soon. According to the latest leak, the Xiaomi 14T and Xiaomi 14T Pro will feature Circle to Search abilities, along with other AI-powered features. In another leak, the reviewers of TECNO Phantom V Fold 2 found that the device supports Circle to Search.

Despite lacking an official confirmation from Google, this leak suggests that Android users across various brands, such as OnePlus, Oppo, and Motorola, will gain access to Circle to Search shortly.

In addition to Circle to Search, Xiaomi 14T and 14T Pro will reportedly come with four other AI-backed features: AI Notes, AI Interpreter, AI Subtitles, and AI Voice Recorder.

AI Notes is said to use cloud-based AI to offer AI summary, AI translation and other functions in the Notes app. The AI Interpreter is expected to enable real-time translation for in-person conversations and seamless phone calls and conference meetings across languages. Additionally, the smartphones will reportedly feature AI-powered accessibility enhancements, including, AI Subtitles for accurate transcription and AI Voice Recorder for improved audio capture.
