what's up YouTube Jeff back from Sammy
0:01
Grew here and today another very
0:02
exciting Samsung video for you guys And
0:04
uh a few days ago I did my comparison of
0:07
1 UI 8.0 beta and the iOS 26 beta Yes
0:10
iOS 26 because Apple decided to skip
0:13
over a bunch of version numbers to align
0:15
the version number with the year Anyway
0:17
a lot of people were commenting about
0:19
one specific feature comparison which
0:20
was circle to search on Samsung phones
0:23
which is of course Google's feature that
0:24
they did in partnership with Samsung
0:26
originally on the S24 launch and the
0:28
brand new highlight to search on the
0:30
iPhones with iOS 26 Now it is kind of a
0:33
copy but iPhone does have some positive
0:35
things and there's also some negatives
0:37
So I thought I'd compare them after
0:38
using both features for a while cuz I've
0:40
used iOS 26 for a few days on my iPhone
0:43
16 Pro Max and give you a rundown of how
0:45
they compare a little more in depth
0:46

1:26
readers Check that in the pin comment
1:28
description if you're interested So let
1:30
me go back here to this page This is a
1:33
recent article on Sammy Grew I just
1:34
wanted to go on both phones so I could
1:36
show you guys the comparison and
1:38
contrast of circle to search which again
1:41
is a Google feature that was created in
1:43
partnership with Samsung for the S24
1:45
series launch in 2024 and the new
1:48
highlight to search over here on the
1:51
iPhone Now first of all one of the main
1:53
differences and one of the things I
1:54
don't like about highlight to search is
1:56
and I have to do this off the screen
1:58
Well actually I can do it like this You
1:59
have to do the screenshot to trigger
2:01
this fully So you're going to press the
2:03
power and volume up to get into the
2:06
highlight to search menu It's actually
2:08
part of the uh screenshot workflow And
2:12
so now the screenshot has not only like
2:15
its share commands and other stuff Down
2:17
here it has the highlight to search
2:18
information And that's where you
2:20
actually get to it On the Galaxy phone
2:22
you just hold down if you're using
2:23
gestures the bottom here along the
2:25
gesture bar or you can also if you're
2:27
using the button nav you can also hold
2:29
on one of the buttons and it will start
2:31
the circle to search feature So in terms
2:34
of what triggers it um I think it's a
2:37
lot easier to trigger right now and more
2:38
obvious to trigger on the Galaxy phone
2:41
Of course there's a couple other ways
2:43
you can go about this in terms of like
2:44
searching with a camera that's not the
2:46
same as the highlight to search but you
2:48
can use the uh quick camera button that
2:50
they added on the iPhone 16 series to
2:52
get into that um but not directly into
2:54
the highlight to search So first of all
2:57
on the Galaxy phone all you have to do
2:58
is once this pops up you can highlight
3:00
anything you want like this And then the
3:03
same thing here highlight to search is
3:05
at the bottom You can just go ahead and
3:07
go right into highlighting Now first of
3:09
all this goes directly into Google
3:11
search and brings it up immediately
3:13
Search labs You can select text and
3:14
share it You can see here you have to
3:17
swipe up to get into the image search
3:19
and then it will do the results from
3:21
Google It's a little bit slower It does
3:23
give you some results there This gives
3:24
you search labs overview which I kind of
3:27
like a little better but again I am an
3:29
Android/ Samsung guy Here you can do a
3:33
direct image search or you can send this
3:35
information to chat GPT and ask about
3:39
details about this image in general Um
3:42
and you can see it highlights a pretty
3:43
good highlight of this and then you can
3:45
share this chat GPT blurb here as well
3:48
Of course over here you could also go
3:50
directly into Gemini and again you get
3:52
the search lads information right away
3:55
directly from here So let me go back in
3:57
here Down here you can also do the music
3:59
search down here You've got translate
4:02
all that good stuff You can do all of
4:03
that directly uh from in here And then
4:05
of course up here search history and all
4:08
that stuff So there's actually a couple
4:10
of similarities here You can also do
4:12
screen or full page So you see here this
4:15
is one feature I really like is on this
4:17
version for the Apple uh iOS 26 version
4:21
you can go all the whole page instead of
4:23
just the screen and then crop that as
4:25
well The only thing is once you go full
4:27
page here you can't get into the chat
4:32
GBT command and options and you also
4:34
can't initiate the highlight search So
4:37
it'd be really nice if you could do that
4:38
directly from there Um down here you
4:41
just see the website that it's on and
4:42
then again this is just all the
4:44
screenshot tools Now the other thing I
4:46
like here about circle to search as well
4:48
is if you highlight something let's just
4:50
highlight this for instance you can also
4:53
get different options depending on what
4:54
you highlight So here it just gave me
4:56
select text but let's say that I
4:59
highlight let's highlight this image
5:01
down here Let's see if it'll give me
5:03
some different options Sometimes if you
5:05
expand you might get different options
5:07
here based on what it is that you're
5:09
actually circling to search Those kind
5:11
of options don't really pop up here If I
5:14
scroll see like here you also can't
5:16
scroll down Once you take the screenshot
5:18
it's kind of embedded So that's a
5:21
downside in my particular opinion Also
5:23
you have these little popups that tell
5:24
you where you've done a circle to search
5:27
or highlight to search before You see
5:28
one shows up there and you can see where
5:30
you sent things to chat GPT But it is a
5:33
big downside that you can't move down
5:35
the page at least easily once you've
5:38
done this And this full page tool
5:40
doesn't seem to let you do highlight to
5:42
search very easily You can swipe up and
5:44
get back into that image search but you
5:46
can't do anything with the full page So
5:49
I would say it's a little bit easier in
5:51
the current form to use circle to search
5:54
I think being directly integrated and
5:56
being a Google product also gives it an
5:57
advantage instead of here it's just
5:59
doing image search results by Google
6:01
Here you're actually getting the AI
6:03
search and you can also send this off to
6:04
Gemini as well Chat GPT is nice So if
6:08
you're a ChatGBT user and you like chat
6:10
GBT summaries it'd be nice to have the
6:12
ability to bring different AI agents
6:14
which Samsung may end up doing with chat
6:16
GBT and Perplexity on top of Gemini
6:19
Gemini and Galaxy AI But for my taste I
6:22
think Circle is ahead right now Makes a
6:25
lot of sense considering it was first
6:27
The trigger is a lot easier to get in
6:29
there It's easy to scroll and then
6:31
circle something else come back to it I
6:33
also like the robustness of the results
6:34
that you get uh from Google And of
6:36
course some of those other things built
6:38
in like song search etc Anyway let me
6:40
know what you guys think Is Apple making
6:42
some strides in the right direction
6:43
There's a couple things there you guys
6:45
saw that I do like with what they're
6:46
doing A few things they can improve on
6:48
