Samsung recently introduced its new family of more premium smartphones: he Galaxy S24 Ultra and the Galaxy S24 and S24+. And beyond their new processors and subtle but interesting changes in its design (such as a completely flat screen), the company placed a lot of emphasis on the great novelty that debuts with its new mobile phones: Galaxy AI.
Is about an artificial intelligence that can perform tasks such as real time translation voice calling, advanced photo editing (including AI background generation), and automatic transcription of voice recordings, among others. But after the event ended, many of us asked ourselves: Where is Bixby, Samsung's voice assistant?
A better Bixby thanks to Samsung's new artificial intelligence
And Bixby has lost more and more prominence on Samsung devices, although the assistant is still present on mobile phones, smart watches and televisions. Before the arrival of Galaxy AI, many of us feared that Bixby would suffer the same fate as Google Assistantwhich will be replaced by Bard, but it won't be like that… at least for now.
Assistant will cease to exist and will be replaced by Google Bard. Microsoft Cortana also goes down in history, replaced by Copilot. Does the same future await Bixby? The answer is no; In fact, Bixby in a way becomes a part of Galaxy AI.
In a question and answer session after the presentation of the Galaxy S24, Samsung confirmed that Bixby will continue to be active and working on new phonesinforms Android Authority. In fact, the company assures that Bixby will continue to grow in functionality and that the assistant is now considered a feature part of Galaxy AI. Previously, Samsung had already mentioned that artificial intelligence would be an important element for the evolution of Bixby and SmartThings.
Currently, one of the main uses of Bixby is for automation; The company even improved its capabilities a couple of years ago through Good Lock's Routines+ module. Little by little, Samsung has been refining the uses for Bixby, even though the assistant is clearly no longer one of the central pillars in every new mobile announcement for the company.
Now, With Galaxy AI, Bixby has a new life, at least for now. The assistant could take an important leap supported by Bard and ChatGPT technologies. We know that Samsung is working closely with Google for many of its features, including some artificial intelligence, it remains to be seen, over time, how this joint work helps boost Bixby.
