Bixby virtual assistant comes pre-loaded with the Galaxy S8 and the bigger sibling, the Galaxy S8+. It enables users to interact with their phone using voice and touch.It update itself by learning the users behavior and provides related information, and is easily activated with a press of its dedicated hardware button or by saying “Bixby.”
Recently Samsung Confirmed that Bixby Voice won’t be available until “later this spring.” Customers will, however, be able to take advantage of Bixby’s Vision, Home and Reminder functionality as soon as their handset arrives.
According to a statement from Samsung, Bixby's voice search functionality won't arrive until "later this spring." Here's the full quote:
"With its intelligent interface and contextual awareness, Bixby will make your phone more helpful by assisting in completing tasks, telling you what you’re looking at, learning your routine and remembering what you need to do. Key features of Bixby, including Vision, Home and Reminder, will be available with the global launch of the Samsung Galaxy S8 on April 21. Bixby Voice will be available in the U.S. on the Galaxy S8 later this spring."
Samsung is touting Bixby to be the next big thing in smart personal assistants. Unlike the current generation, which includes Google Assistant, Siri, Cortana, and Alexa, Samsung says that Bixby will allow you to operate almost any aspect of your phone using only your voice. That is, any action you can do with your fingers can be done by Bixby.
Keeping the features aside let me tell how you can use Bixby on your Galaxy S7 and S7 edge running Android Nougat. But if you have a slightly older Galaxy smartphone that is lucky enough to be on Android 7.0 already, you could actually get Bixby running as well, with very minimal fuss.
It is not simple download and install of Bixby on Galaxy S7 and S7+ or any other Galaxy model running Android Nougat,but thanks to developers at Xda, they have just devised a method to install Bixby virtual assistant right on your phone, and thankfully, it does not require any root. So, let’s get started.
