Google has announced that its Lens AI-powered image processing software will be integrated into the camera app on select Android smartphones.<\/p>\n

The company also revealed three new Lens features at its I\/O event in California.<\/p>\n

Smartphones which will feature Lens integration include devices from LG, Motorola, Xiaomi, Sony Mobile, Nokia, OnePlus, ASUS, and Google.<\/p>\n

Smart text selection<\/h3>\n

A new smart text selection feature allows users to copy text from images of real documents such as menus or signs and paste it into other applications.<\/p>\n

Smart text also brings up recommended information depending on the words highlighted in the scanned document.<\/p>\n

Lens will further include a style match feature, which will allow users to take an image of decor or clothing and be presented with similar styles.<\/p>\n

The biggest change is that Lens now works in real time and proactively delivers information on objects within your camera frame.<\/p>\n

It uses both on-chip processing and cloud-based machine learning to perform this function, said Google.<\/p>\n

Google said its new Lens features would start rolling out over the next few weeks.<\/p>\n
