Samsung says Bixby Voice won't be ready in time for Galaxy S8 launch - TmoNews

Not super bummed out. But still annoying.

And some of us never wanted, let alone asked for, Buzby in the first place!

It's just the voice option I understand. It should still work using the button though right.

Noone asked for Siri or Google now either. Look at what a flop those both turned out to be.

I'd use Google Assistant anyway.

Honestly, the only feature I really want is to be able to tell my phone to take a screenshot....google now can't do this and I think it would be handy.. so if this eventually comes to the phone I will be happy

Well that button was going to be Google Assistant anyway for me so nothing to lose. Take your time Samsung and don't make another failure like S-Voice

Yeah but when you swipe left on the home screen it goes to Bixby page right? Can't disable it or change it to Google page?

You can probably disable bixby on left swipe but you can't replace it. You would have to use Google now launcher or other launchers.

Nova Launcher. It goes on every phone I buy.

The End

Wonder if Bixby will released as a firmware update? App download?
If so, maybe it'll come with a working version of Nougat 7.1
