Samsung Galaxy S8's Bixby virtual assistant rumored to support 7-8 languages

07 February 2017
If this pans out, it means that it will be much more of a polyglot than the Google Assistant.

There are some uses for AI. It's better to have them than none at all to be honest. Like for example when you are driving. I was with a friend's car one time and the dude was driving and texting at the same time while driving fast. Was not a fun experience. AI would have helped him here.

      Trent, 07 Feb 2017Samsung back at it again with the stupid features to fool people they just have too much money in hand and do not know what to do with it
      but will never consider discounting their ridiculous phone price

      it will fail like their milk music did
      they do not know how to make one so they buy a company yet does not know how to
      manage lol

      if they really want to charge as much as apple / google's pixel
      make your own damn OS!

        Samsung with software? lol no thanks
        lucky that they know how to build a hardware
        they really think that cortana / siri and google assistant are made in one day
        company like samsung will never be able to get it right as they tend to just
        'make a new one' instead of improving it by updating its software

Most of those are Samsung only features that nobody uses and only Samsung uses.

                I would very much prefer of they used the money from researching those gimmicks to instead research useful stuff, like removable battery that looks good and is useful, their own chip that consistently beats the generic Qualcomm chips (a bit of how Apple did that), always including the most ram possible (best predictor for longevity of the phone and every day smoothness).

                They have a perfect chance (money and willigness) to make the perfect phone for all tastes (it's not that hard , just load it up) yet they get wasted to Don Quixotic pursuits, features that are ultimately going to remove in a year or two. What a mess.

                    Samsung is the only brand that keep trolling people with gimmicks over gimmicks.
                    Just like that stupid heart rate sensor introduced by them.

                                    They should include Google Now on tap on steroids to be successful.
                                    The assistant should be powerful enough to read and analyse everything on phones screen
