25 November 2016
The male voice will likely be called Bixby and the female voice, Kestra.

I just wanted to comment that Bixby is a hard name to say. We have a cat named Bixby and he gets called lots of nicknames. You should have picked something easy and quick to say that just rolls off the tongue. Siri is easy. Bad choice Galaxy people and I would not like a male voice either.

    Male voice is what I've always wanted

Apple thought that by playing dirty with their government puppets they were going to get all the costumers from Samsung and the reality is that Samsung is selling more galaxy S7, and good more Pixels phones. Apple is so dirty and corrupt that they buy the media, and whatever they have to buy to make people believe something else. But i encorage every on not to trust the American media, to read good soource articles, and to see for yourself what Apple do in order to make people believe they are selling hot. They make tons of dirty strategies like putting small batch sales and say that they sold out when in fact its a lie. Another thing is the lines which you dont see any more like before. At iphone launch day, they open like the most popular story in each state or city and they only sell it there that day so that the media can create so much buzz about it. Its all lies and dirty strategies. I think that if they concentrate more in innovation, maybe they would do better since good competition is goo for all of us the consumers.

              I really like Samsung hardware and Google Apps, all of these duplicate apps that I do not use or want are what is going to drive me to another OEM.

                    Samsung, please focus on more important stuff. Your S voice was a disaster and a waste of time. Compete on what you are good at.

                      Work work work Samsung, work hard as you can and even more. And because this time/year in front of Samsung, there's not just an ordinary uphill, but the entire Mount Everest. So work extremely hard Samsung

                        if only it understood danish. like the smart tv can, but just not the phones.

                          AnonD-607331, 25 Nov 2016IDK all this voice assistant thing looks very gimmicky or me idk.It actually has to be deeply integrated into the apps for them to be extremely useful. Like whatever i want to tell it, it should respond to it and do the stuff for me rather than letting me reach out for the phone. Not gimmicky but more like it's learning now i guess so it takes time, the more input the better it will become.
