Samsung Galaxy S8 Will Have A Dedicated 'Bixby' Voice Assistant Button

Samsung is set to unveil the heavily leaked Galaxy S8 in just a few days, but before that, it's cleared up a bit of a mystery about those leaks. We finally know what that extra hardware button is all about. Bixby is Samsung's replacement for the woefully under-equipped S Voice platform. Samsung knows it doesn't have the machine learning or wealth of data necessary to compete with Google Assistant, so Bixby won't even try. Instead, Bixby lets you control apps by voice.
