CTOnews.com December 23 news, foreign technology media Android Police pointed out in the latest article, there are signs that Samsung may cut its own voice assistant service Bixby. Compared with Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and Apple's Siri, Samsung's Bixby is slow and inaccurate, which is of little use to Samsung Galaxy phone users.

CTOnews.com learned that Samsung's voice assistant service started with S Voice in Galaxy S3 and introduced Bixby voice assistant in Galaxy S8, which was launched in 2017. In the past, Samsung has even set up a Bixby voice wake-up button on its mobile hardware.

Samsung has removed the dedicated Bixby button on the Galaxy S20, only the regular volume button and power button. However, users can wake up Bixby by pressing the power button for a long time.

In the Android 13-based OneUI 5.0 update, Samsung introduced a Good Lock module called RegiStar. Through this module, you can customize the power key, and users can choose to open an application or assign it to system functions including Google Assistant. However, the new module does not support its own Bixby voice assistant.

Samsung introduced Bixby Routines in Galaxy S10, but you must launch Bixby to use the app, otherwise you won't be able to access it. In OneUI 5.0, Samsung named the app "Modes and Routines" and no longer needed to enable Bixby to use it.

Samsung announced in 2020 that it would no longer develop Bixby Vision, the AR feature. These functions allow you to try on makeup, decorate your home, and so on. Basic visual search and translation functions still exist, but most of what the service can provide has disappeared. Two years later, this basic function still exists and no improvement has been seen at all.

In addition to the software, Samsung plans to use Galaxy Home smart speakers against Google and Amazon. It was announced as early as 2018 that it finally did not enter the market. Instead, Samsung eventually delivered a streamlined Galaxy Home Mini, but never really invested in promoting it, or even launched it in most markets.
