But it looks like Google is trying to make their assistant exclusive to the pixel. Its what they spent the most time speaking about when launching the pixel, so they don't seem too keen to launch it on other devices.

And more competition is always good, if Samsung can finally improve it. I've always disabled s voice and completely forgot about it tbh.

        AnonD-368255, 07 Nov 2016Useless bloatware! Make skin lighter!No. It is just an AI. Just like Siri. No one ever complain Siri as a bloatware. Even work with 1gb ram. This S8 probably would have 6gb ram. Touchwiz has been tone down a lot, like seriously a lot compare to S3 & S4 era. You see a lot of features from then had disappeared for good. Samsung is going for a more minimalist features that only needed these day. They put less gimmick but some of their innovation are accused to be a gimmick. They proved dual edge display not a gimmick after getting rid of flat screen for good in Note7.

                        Because sharing of non-existing product is what they can do right now...
                        Sharing is safe as well... unless the information they are sharing will also explode in your screen...

                          The AI will take in charge all the activity. For the rest, the OS will remain the same, and if you don't want to spend all your data allowance, then you can use your hands to do the desired actions !

                                        I hope the galaxy s8 will not explode too.
