This should be interesting , if they can do it .
They already have Samsung integrated Google duo , lets see .

I would be all for this if they could integrate it with the galaxy watches, but seeing as their watches don't use Android I guess it's just a pipe dream.

 

[me just saying]

still won't get me to use either on my phone or tablet

Well, that would be wonderful. To get Samsung to use Google Assistant instead of Bixby? I'd like to see that happen...

I use Google Assistant anyway so it doesn't matter if they push it or Bixby, at least not to me.

Bixby is still mainly a device assistant to me and Google a web assistant so they can live happily together in the same device as far as I am concerned.

Yeah some use it this way

The other thing is they like Samsung phones focus more on google services and apps , so kinda trying get Samsung to scale back on their app store and apps .

Considering that Samsung do fridges and cookers etc.. I don't think they'll drop Bixby as a Samsung product assistant, if Samsung also is buying Philips small appliances division there even more devices Bixby can yap away to.

I tried to blame the coffee , now I dont have a excuse

 

[buzzy3970]

Agreed. Android is all about having choices. I don't see anything wrong with how they have it now.

[buzzy3970]

Correct. Much prefer Samsung's interface over Android Wear.

Still uses Tizen?

nope. I don't see the need on the phone. I do have a set of google home speakers but that is as far as it goes.
