Are all Samsung this way I wonder? I don't see any good reason for it unless it is a huge battery draw perhaps.
The LG G5 is the LG that works... Google Assistant cannot wake up the G4 from screen-off/locked state, no matter what I tried. ...and believe me, I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure it out without any success, so I'm giving up on trying to make it work on the S7, Note 5, and G4 right now.
also, unlike Siri on my iPhone 7, there is a SERIOUS security risk using Google Assistant to unlock the phone by voice from locked state. Siri does not allow full access into the phone... it will answer questions, start navigation, make calls... but won't open email apps or other apps unless the iPhone is locked with my fingerprint. When Google Assistant, it totally unlocks my LG G5. I did a test by recording myself saying "ok google" on another phone. I played the voice recording back next to the G5 and it unlocked... kind of scary....
