Samsung Galaxy S8 it will have an intelligent personal assistant called Bixby, which was developed by a company founded by the same people who created Siri for Apple. Samsung spent over 300 million dollars to buy this personal assistant specifically for the Samsung Galaxy S8, but its name is quite unusual.
Although Bixby will have functions similar to those of Siri right from the start, the support for the language is much more extensive than that offered by the Apple assistant at the time of launch, so the Samsung Galaxy S8 will have an advantage. If Apple initially offered Siri with understanding support only for the English language, Bixby in the Samsung Galaxy S8 will recognize commands in no less than 8 languages.
More precisely, for the beginning, Bixby in the Samsung Galaxy S8 will be able to recognize commands spoken in English, Chinese and Korean, but also in 5 other yet unknown languages. We are probably talking about French, Spanish, German and possibly two other Asian languages, because this would be the target audience that the Samsung Galaxy S8 will attack at the time of launch.
Samsung Galaxy S8 – the Bixby assistant understands 8 languages
However, it is interesting to see that the Samsung Galaxy S8 will have support through Bixby for 8 times more languages than Siri at the time of the official launch. This advantage of the assistant in the Samsung Galaxy S8 will allow it to be used by many more people, even though Siri now supports 20 international languages.
Google Assistant supports fewer languages, so it makes sense why Samsung didn't want to implement support for it in the Samsung Galaxy S8. For the Samsung Galaxy S8, those from Samsung wanted to have their own help system for users, and Bixby could be developed separately by the company based on its own needs.
"The artificial intelligence (AI) voice secretary Bixbee (tentative name) installed in Samsung Galaxy S8 supports languages of 7 ~ 8 languages including Korean, English and Chinese. It's more than five languages supported by the Google AI voice assistant assistant (Pixel phone) .”
The implementation of the Bixby assistant in the Samsung Galaxy S8 will keep Samsung terminals at a level close to those that have Siri, but it offers an advantage over Google Assistant. Of course, we are talking about something theoretical here, because only after the Samsung Galaxy S8 is released will we find out how good Bixby is.
