Surrounds to search It has become one of the most intuitive gestures that can be done on a mobile and for a few weeks includes a brilliant novelty by itself: the Google translator button. It is very similar to what it does in Google Lens, but with the great advantage that it can be used for every text that we see on the mobile screen.
It is the main reason why Rodea’s gesture to search or Search to Circle has become one of the best news that Google has integrated in recent years. This gesture premiered last year With the Galaxy S24 and allows, after making a long touch at the bottom of the screen, draw a circle on what you want to look for.
Which means that if we are on a social network, watching a YouTube video or simply pointing with the camera app, to the Press on the lower bar It will be passed to the Rodea interface to search to make that stroke and thus emerge from the bottom the card with the Google search engine and you can even define the type of search you want when entering text.
This experience has been with us for 16 months, but in recent weeks it was updated with the integration of the Translation button that appears just right on the rodea bar to search. By pressing it, the function of the AI of this function analyzes the screen to search for texts and thus detect the language.
Once detected, if we have it configured for Spanish, will instantly translate all texts that appear in English or other language. The great advantage of this function is that it can be used at all times on any text on screen.
As if it’s a French meme Or simply by pointing to the camera app at a poster when we are traveling to another country, at the time we press the Google Translate button the text will be translated into Spanish or preselected language. Its flexibility and comfort of use make it overcome even Google Lens, another of the most used apps when traveling, since here you should not start the beginning to give the magnifying glass button, but with the long touch we will have the translation of Rodea to look immediately.
Already There will be no limit That prevents us from translating any text that appears on the screen of our mobile, so its utility increases exponentially. The only paste is that to have this Rodea function to search the mobile is through Android 15. An update that has come in these past months from different Android manufacturers.
This function is available in the Google Pixel, in the Samsung Flagship as the new Galaxy S25 series, the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S23 and even the Galaxy A55, A35, A54 and A34 as well as in their folding mobiles. Nothing also updated its mobiles with Rodea to search and other brands such as honor have incorporated the new gesture that totally changes how a mobile is used.
