Google Lens, a popular feature from Google that helps users search for information about books, movies, plants, clothings, etc, has been integrated into the MIUI camera app. The feature is being tested in new phones currently and will roll out commercially soon. With this feature, select Xiaomi phone users can access Google Lens directly from their camera app. Users can tap on the Google Lens button in the overflow menu in order to use this option.

Xiaomi made this announcement on Mi Forums and said that the feature is currently available exclusively on Poco F1, Redmi Note Series, and Redmi Y2 in Beta ROM builds. There is no timeline announced for its commercial rollout, or further expansion of the beta build as well. Nevertheless, the above-mentioned phone users should be able to see the new Google Lens in the native camera app. Head to the MIUI Camera app > Click on the 3 lines on the top right corner >Select Google Lens.

Once the Google Lens button is pressed, the camera will scan users locality and give results based on the AI Google algorithm. Previously a standalone app, Google Lens used AI to identify the contents of a picture without needing words to figure out what it is.

Google Lens was unveiled at I/O in 2017 as an image recognition tool that could provide contextual suggestions for objects that you scan with the camera. For example, scanning a restaurant can show things like menu, pricing, reservations, and timings.  It is Google’s experimental, camera-powered search engine that combines search, artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and computer vision.
