Samsung Galaxy S8's Bixby Voice Assistant May Launch In June, Report Says

Samsung's Bixby virtual assistant was a touted part of the Galaxy S8, but it initially missed being part of the flagship smartphone's April launch. However, Samsung will soon be bringing the full version of Bixby to Galaxy users. Bixby is expected to launch by late June in the U.S., the Wall Street Journal reported. For Samsung users, Bixby is the Galaxy's equivalent of similar voice assistant programs like Apple's Siri and Google's Assistant. With the service, which launched in Korea earlier this month, users can use Bixby to get information for topics like news, local locations and the weather.
