Cool new Google Lens features are rolling out now!

Smart Text Selection in action
At its annual conference, Google announced that Lens would be integrated right into the camera apps of future Android phones from its partners -- including Asus, Motorola, Xiaomi, LG, Sony, Nokia, and OnePlus, and others -- as well as its own Pixel phones. But until this becomes a reality, there's a host of new Google Lens features that are now being rolled out in stages to all phones with Google Assistant support (i.e. pretty much every Android phone out there). People with iOS devices will, apparently, have to wait a little while until the new stuff makes its way into Google Photos, which it will in the coming weeks.
As for Smart Text Selection, well, it is a pretty straightforward ordeal. Snap a picture of some text and Google Lens will use the magic of OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to turn it into editable text that you can copy, paste, and edit.
