Google updates Image Search for feature phones

On the heels of the Google Image Search update for iPhone and Android phones, the search giant did the same for the rest of the planet. As a result, you can use the popular Google Image Search on your $50 feature phone and get much better structured results in 38 languages.

From Google Mobile Blog:

The image results are tightly packed, making optimal use of the screen space on your phone and allowing you to scan eight to fourteen images on a single results page. Clicking an image leads to a details page, which not only shows a larger thumbnail, but also lets you either visit the web page hosting the image or view the image itself in full size. Moreover you can navigate the search results using “next” and “previous” links. These features are designed to make browsing and searching for images on your phone easier and faster.

To access the updated service, simply point your mobile web browser to google.com, click on “Images” and take it from there. It’s that easy! ;)
