Was that the full, final version of Bixby? I doubt it.

Perhaps people should try it first. You might like it.

I agree and that's what I intend on doing. I'm not fond of AI type stuff but I'm actually looking forward to Bixby. I just hope it doesn't have a creepy voice or we are able to change it.

Not surprised. They need to sell phones.

Marketing.

It was taken off the S8 by I believe XDA devs.

Was that the full, final version of Bixby? I doubt it.

Bixby apparently does more than Google Assistant...Bixby actually controls your phone actions like "take a screenshot and send to to this person" or "turn on blue light filter".

Google Assistant is better for like non-phone commands like sports scores or weather....plus Google Assistant has a sexier voice than Bixby

Maybe thats how people should see it. If you want to do various tasks on your phone quickly. Use Bixby and if you want to look up information on the web then use Google assistant. I haven't read much about Bixby yet and still learning but from what I've seen, it sounded like Bixby was did very close to what Google Assistant does so wondering why i should switch when I'm happy with Google. But if it does certain things on my phone better. Then ill give it a chance
