Search by Image is yet another reverse image search app that displays reverse search engine results from Google Images and TinEye. It’s not perfect, and nowhere near as intuitive as CamFind, but it will still work as a Google Lens alternative until we can get the real deal on our phones. What I also liked a lot was the inclusion of the Night Mode that looks look a lot cooler and more sophisticated than the stark white screens that greet you when you use most of these apps. Overall, Image Search is a good app, and being based on Google’s image search algorithm means it works well more often than not. While the app does let you create your own custom search engines, many non-tech-savvy users may find the process a bit too cumbersome and unintuitive.Īs can be seen above, the results can be a bit of a hit or miss, but it’s not really the app’s problem if Google’s algorithm is still struggling to recognize a dimly-lit hoarding.
Having said that, it’s really not much of a problem when you think about it, although, the fact that it only supports Google right out the box could be a bit of a negative for some. You can select any image on your phone, but unlike CamFind, it doesn’t let you take pictures directly, so you will need to snap the photo before you open up this app. Image Search is another super-popular app that will identify images by uploading them to Google’s Reverse Image Search Engine. On the other hand, if you want to advertise your searches to the rest of the world, you can also share them on social media or send them to your WhatsApp contacts from within the app. That being the case, users concerned about their privacy can rest assured. However, both these features are turned off by default and, need to be enabled manually if you want to share your searches with other users. While ‘Popular’ showcases searches that have been marked as a ‘Favorite’ by other users, ‘Live Searches’ shows you new uploads in real-time. ‘Live Stream’ and ‘Popular’ are two of the other features that allow users to view other searches in real-time. You can also mark a particular search as favorite if you want to refer back to it in the future. Not only that, once the app identifies a movie, it will apparently bring up trailers, showtimes, and even suggest local theaters that are screening the movie. While the couple things we tried worked great (a computer keyboard and a hatchback vehicle), the company also says that CamFind is capable of correctly identifying movies from their posters. From what we saw, these search results also include related images and local shopping results from e-commerce sites such as Amazon.
It then uses it’s proprietary CloudSight image recognition API to not only tell you what it is, but also suggest websites that could provide you with more info on the subject. CamFind lets you take a photo of any object around you and then upload it to its servers with just a single tap. The app isn’t obviously an exact replica of Google Lens, insofar as it doesn’t do AR, but it is, quite simply, the next best thing.

So, in case you want to try out something similar without buying a Pixel 2, you can try these Google Lens alternatives on your smartphone:ĬamFind is one of the oldest and most well-known image search apps, and it’s available for free both on Android and iOS. The feature will be integrated with Google Assistant well as Google Photos, but will only be available on the two second-gen Pixel devices right now before being more widely available in the months to come.
