The Samsung Bixby takes on Apple’s Siri, Amazon’s Alexa, Google’s Google assistant and Microsoft’s Cortana.
But Bibxy is sort of different from Siri, Alexa, and Google assistant whose function is focus on collecting and understanding information on the internet and then answers any question you have.
Instead, it helps you use your own phone and represents a major reboot for S voice, Samsung’s voice assistant introduced in 2012.
The Samsung Bixby is divided into two distinct categories which are the Bixby voice and Bixby home.
The Bixby voice allows you get things done by holding down the Bixby button for a moment and talking to get a task done more like a walkies-talkie while the home feature is accessed by short-pressing the Bixby button.
