Google's Official Phone May Have Better Software Than Your Samsung Galaxy

The virtual Google helper, titled Google Assistant, debuted alongside Allo--the company's messaging app. The app for Android and iOS not only allowed users to chat with friends, but also with a digital assistant that would fetch information in its own chat window, or even while you were in a chat with someone else. Instead of requiring users to speak out loud, the Google Assistant allows users to type out questions and responses. The above gif, hailing from Android Police, speculates that the updated version of Android will more closely integrate the recently revealed assistant. Google Assistant throughout Android would not only allow Google users to say "Ok, Google" to summon their assistant, but type to it too.
