If you have a Samsung S8 or S8+ smartphone, I have good news for you. Maybe. Samsung’s virtual assistant Bixby finally supports voice globally, with the South Korean giant rolling out the update in over 200 countries around the world. At least according to The Verge:
Samsung says Bixby will be made available in more countries, languages, devices, and third-party applications over time. Galaxy S8 and S8+ users can access Bixby by pressing the dedicated Bixby button on those phones, or by saying “Hi, Bixby.” The roll-out comes in a big week for Samsung, with the Galaxy Note 8 set to be officially unveiled tomorrow in New York City.
Here’s the thing that explains why I used the word “Maybe”. I am not sure if anyone who owns and S8 or S8+ will care as Google Now is way better than Bixby at present. In fact The Verge hammered Bixby when they tested it. Thus, this might be one of those “so what” announcements. But I guess we’ll see.
