One of Android’s best 2024 features is finally arriving on Nothing phones

[phillynews215]

• Nothing smartphones started receiving Android 15 via Nothing OS 3.0 stable earlier this month.
• Devices that have upgraded can now begin taking advantage of Circle to Search.
• Circle to Search is also available in beta on the Nothing Phone 2a Plus.

We’re just days away from the end of 2024, and despite the fact that Android 16 already has its second Developer Preview ready for you to test, the vast majority of phones haven’t even gotten Android 15 yet. As manufacturers like Samsung take their time with a very deliberate, controlled, and ultimately slow approach to their beta testing, more agile players like Nothing have been able to grab a little spotlight with stable Android 15 for their own phones. Nothing OS 3.0 has been available for the company’s latest handsets for a bit over a week now, and today we’re learning about one more feature that’s making its arrival.

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.
