Google Lens vs Circle To Search
When you take a look at what Circle to Search does, you would say, well, why would you want to use this? Does Google Lens not do the same task? Of course, both services do the same task but, if you look at it deeply, there is a difference.
While both services let you use the camera to search for more details about the object, Circle to Search lets you do it from any screen, whereas with Google Lens you would have to launch the app.
Also, with Google Lens, if you want to get information about a product from a video, you would have to first take a screenshot of the video and then upload it to Google Lens. Circle to Search does it all without you having to take screenshots. So yes, Circle to Search is a much more useful feature as compared to Google lenses in every aspect.
