Xiaomi has two sub-brands, POCO and Redmi. The company isn’t shy of releasing the same phone under a different moniker across its sub-brands. That makes it easy to predict which POCO phones will receive a particular feature after it has been confirmed for Xiaomi or Redmi.
Circle to Search was released early this year with the Galaxy S24. It was thought to be a premium exclusive feature, but that’s not the case. Mid-range Galaxy phones have since received it, while Tecno has confirmed imminent release for its phones. Xiaomi will debut the feature with the 14T and 14T Pro, after which it will be available for more phones.
We have listed Xiaomi phones to get Circle to Search and Redmi phones. Of course, POCO phones will get that feature, and luckily, we have a list of phones that will get it. It will arrive with an OTA update, but it’s unclear whether Xiaomi will debut it with HyperOS 2.0.
Some POCO phones may get the feature as part of HyperOS 2.0 since Xiaomi plans to start the rollout next month. Nevertheless, you can check the list below to see if your POCO phone will get the Circle to Search feature.
