When Samsung introduced Galaxy AI earlier this year, it initially only rolled out the tool to its flagship phones that launched in 2022 and later. That meant phones like the Galaxy S21 FE didn’t get new features like Circle to Search. But that has finally changed.

According to SamMobile, Samsung’s August 2024 security update added this feature to the Galaxy S21 FE.

Circle to Find lets you search by circling, highlighting, or doodling around the text or image you’re interested in. This feature lets you quickly look up definitions, find related information, or identify objects in photos or videos.

The Galaxy S21 “Fan Edition” was released a year after the flagship Galaxy S21 devices. It features a 6.4-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display and Exynos or Snapdragon chips. When the Galaxy S21 FE launched, we were impressed with its strong cameras and powerful specs, especially in this price range. However, we were less impressed with its battery life and touchscreen performance.

Of all the Galaxy AI features, only Circle to Search was available on the other Galaxy S21 models.

Similar to the upcoming Apple Intelligence, Galaxy AI is a set of artificial intelligence features built into Samsung’s Galaxy devices. The goal is to improve various aspects of the smartphone experience, including photography, translation, productivity and accessibility.

Samsung’s August 2024 security patch is currently being rolled out worldwide. It is designed to fix 50 security vulnerabilities in Android and Samsung One UI. You can access the update by checking the phone Settings > Software update menu and check if it is installed.
