Google and Samsung are all set for big smartphone releases in 2025. But the Android phone I'm most looking forward to won't be made by either company.The Latest Tech News, Delivered to Your Inbox

Circle to Search has emerged as one of the year’s most low-key useful Android tools, and after early availability on Samsung and Google smartphones, it’s been getting ready to spread to more and more. Following the release of OS 3.0, Nothing now shares that Circle to Search is available on the Nothing Phone 2, Phone 2a, and Phone 2a Plus.

The company also notes that other Nothing phones, including the Phone 2a units sold in Japan, will only gain access to Circle to Search as and when they get the Nothing OS 3.0 update. While not mentioned, the feature should also make it to the CMF Phone 1 with the stable Android 15 release.
