Samsung News App

Samsung News app officially launched for millions of Galaxy device users. As an update to Samsung Free, the Samsung News Beta will be rolled out to Galaxy consumers in the US. To trigger a manual installation, you can open the Galaxy Store >> Updates and follow further instructions.

Thanks to the brand-new Samsung News app, consumers will enjoy a breadth of trusted news sources to create an everyday news experience in one convenient place. Galaxy users can get the daily news they want from Samsung News with morning and evening briefings and custom feeds.

It can be considered a big attack on the Google Discover feed, which almost dominated its place on the -1 screen on Galaxy devices. With upgraded capabilities and enhanced experience, Samsung News is ready to put Google Discover in hibernation as it was on during Free days.

If you are already using Samsung Free on a -1 screen, you will notice revamped UI and app logo. However, all other users will be able to download the app directly from the Galaxy Store. At first, the feature will be available on select phones, and in the coming weeks, it will roll out to more supported devices.

Samsung devices Circle to search feature

Circle to Search will be getting a significant functional boost later this year. At I/O 2024, Google confirmed to upgrade Android’s Circle to Search with the ability to help you get your homework done. The service will add support for Math and Physics topics to help users.

Google teased at I/O 2024 that Circle to Search will add new features, helping students better understand potentially difficult class topics. Looking at what Google teased, the feature could show them step-by-step instructions for a “range of physics and math word problems.”

Thanks to the LearnLM AI models, Circle to Search will be capable of understanding and demonstrating symbolic formulas, diagrams, graphs, and more. When available, it will be accessible as an experimental feature which could be activated through Google Account under the Labs section.

To recall, Circle to Search was first released with Samsung’s S24 series earlier this year. Later on, the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro received it through an OTA upgrade. It’s one of the star new features of Android, and although iOS users can’t yet circle their math homework for help, anything is possible.
