Google search made just for mobile

Samsung’s big Galaxy S24 day is here, and it comes with a heavy focus on AI, just as we expected. After all, Samsung used every chance it got to tease the Galaxy AI experience coming to its flagship mobile devices.Artificial intelligence had an important segment during Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company unveiled the various generative AI features coming to the three Galaxy S24 phones. But if there’s one that stole the show, at least for me: Cirlcle to Search.As the name implies, you simply have to circle something on the screen to instantly initiate a Google Search. This is an incredible feature to have on a mobile device, but one that’s not made by Samsung. It’s not even made for the Galaxy S24 Ultra, which comes with a built-in tool to help you search (or scribble) faster. Circle to Search is a brand-new Google Search feature that Google announced on Wednesday, in partnership with Samsung for the Galaxy S24 launch. The feature will also be available on the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro later this month. Google plans to expand to other devices after that. Tech. Entertainment. Science. Your inbox.

How Circle to Search worksWhen I first saw Circle to Search in action, I thought I’d switch back to Google Search just to get to use the feature in the wild. But my second thought was that I might not be able to use Circle to Search for the time being. I’m an iPhone user, after all.Circle to Search will work with anything showing on the screen, even social apps and video content. Image source: GoogleI did ask Google about Circle to Search support coming to iPhone during a roundtable discussion surrounding the new AI features Google introduced on Wednesday. Google said Circle to Search will be available on the Pixel 8 and Galaxy S24 phones initially. The company plans to bring it to as many people as possible in the

Feed feature that lets users personalize the images seen on the home page and search results, populated based on their past searches.Voice Search AssistantsVoice search and digital assistants are at the forefront of the search engine world. Let's see how Google Assistant and Bing's Cortana measure up with each other:🗣️ Google: Google's voice assistant, the Google Assistant, is a key player in the field of advanced speech recognition. Leveraging Google's vast knowledge base and superior AI technology, it offers precise responses to queries and supports a multitude of languages.🗣️ Bing: Bing's voice assistant, Cortana, though not as widely recognized, is nevertheless effective. Integrated with Windows devices, Cortana handles a variety of tasks, from setting reminders to answering questions. However, it tends to lag behind Google Assistant in terms of the breadth and depth of knowledge.Mobile FunctionalityIn today's mobile-first world, discussing the mobile experience is fundamental when considering Google vs. Bing.📱 Google: Google has a mobile-optimized interface that ensures quick, easy, and efficient searches on-the-go. Also, it prioritizes mobile-friendly sites, schooling us about the importance of mobile optimization for SEO.Check Your Website’s Mobile-Friendliness📱 Bing: Bing provides a mobile-friendly interface, with features similar to its desktop version. However, Bing's mobile version has a bit less refinement compared to Google, especially in terms of local results and voice search capabilities.AI AssistantsAI has made search engines even smarter — fine-tuning the accuracy of results and quickening our access to data. Let's cast a glance at the AI algorithms that drive Google and Bing:🤖 Google:

Is super annoying (and hidden url's are cherry on that, making it difficult to share url's correctly).That said rendering speed of AMP is quite noticeably faster than navigating to the actual site - or at least for more popular tech oriented news type sites.Hard to say what's better - but I say to hell with AMP and just let us see raw websites. This AMP "feature" caused me to switch my entire search engine on mobile. In other words, you have to disable it by not using Google. For what it's worth, you can get this same functionality in desktop chrome in slightly fewer keystrokes using the custom search engines. Doesn't work on mobile, or at a public machine though. I can understand how the aspect of the control Google has over AMP isn't ideal but you can't deny AMP sites are a great user experience on mobile. Pages tend to load for me in less than 0.5 seconds even on my mobile connection. For other sites, pages can take 10 to 30 seconds to load, have pop-ups, image loading causes the page the jump up/down etc.Making sites with small download sizes and quick rendering is a very involved process. Google have made a tool and set of guidelines that force developers to use current best practices in a way you're just not going to get by hoping all developers everywhere do it themselves. It's also a much easier sell to management (i.e. "Is our site AMP compatible?") compared to trying to push for each individual best practice to be followed which can individually only have a small benefit. The problem that AMP is trying to solve is definitely real. But pushing sites to add another layer on their system is the wrong way to do it, IMO. Why don't they just start rewarding systems that load fast, instead of pushing people into another google system? > Why don't they just start rewarding systems that load fast, instead of pushing people into another google system?This system is easy to follow and validate though. Is it AMP compatible or not AMP compatible? Maybe it's easy for Google to validate it this way? So AMP has a lot of limitations and if you're AMP compatible Google knows you're meeting certain base guarantees. If Google have to rate arbitrary sites and advise how to restrict them maybe it's harder to rate the performance
