Smart Circle Search is a unique feature that allows users to quickly access information and perform actions directly from the home screen. By drawing a circle on the screen, users can instantly search for anything from news articles and images to restaurants and local businesses. The feature leverages Google's powerful search technology to provide real-time relevant results.
