Built-In AI Features
Running on Android 15 with One UI 7, the A17 also brings a few handy AI features. Circle to Search with Google lets users circle objects in photos or videos to quickly search them online. Meanwhile, Gemini Live, a conversational AI assistant, can help brainstorm, organize ideas, or even provide spoken answers about files and images.
