Samsung's smart and virtual assistant, Bixby, is the Android equivalent of its Google Assistant. With it, we can have information on hand about a multitude of elements such as a destination on foot, set an alarm or a notice to remind our appointment with the doctor… Anyway, it is like having a 'butler' inside our mobile phone, which we activate with the voice. But in Spain we still do not have this virtual assistant available. What's more, we don't even have it available in our country.
Despite this inconvenience (we remember that Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world), Samsung wants everyone to have their assistant in all terminals, even in their input range. Each Samsung terminal that the user purchases from the year 2020 will have its built-in Bixby button. Will the Spanish-speaking citizen be able to use it by then?
Bixby everywhere to make life easier for us
Very recently, too. the Korean company pointed out in statements that the assistant was not going to be exclusive to the telephone range but rather intended to implement it in its range of smart appliances, such as ovens and robot cleaners. The CEO of Samsung Electronics, Kim Hyun-suk, has stated in an interview that there will be, in 2020, no Samsung device that cannot connect to the Internet and have voice control, Bixby through. The Internet of Things will be essential for the Korean firm in a couple of years.
This new movement will mean a high increase in the penetration of Bixby in the technology market, a movement that, hopefully, will encourage Samsung to get down to work and finally offer the intelligent assistance service in Spanish for everyone. And we are not only talking about mobile phones, but Samsung wants to face, face to face, with the advances in the Internet of things that companies like Google or Amazon are offering with their smart speakers. Being able to have the service in Spanish would be a decisive push for them to face them.
Much has been said about the launch, in relation to everything previously narrated, of its own speaker with the built-in Bixby intelligent assistant. Just when the presentation of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 took place, the head of Samsung's mobile department, Dj Koh, assured that they were already immersed in the manufacture of their first smart speaker. A device that, in Korea itself, will have to face fierce competitors SK Telecom, KT, Naver and Kakao.
Bixby 2.0: Finally in Spanish?
Before all this comes true, Samsung will update its smart assistant to version 2.0 that we will see, as a great novelty, in the next Samsung Galaxy Note 9. Among the novelties of this new version 2.0 of Bixby will be the arrival, finally, of the Spanish language, the possibility for the assistant to distinguish between several voices, so that different users can use it (something that will be a huge advantage when using your home speaker).
In addition, another novelty would be aimed at facilitating communication between the user and the device. Right now the user has to say 'Hello, Bixby' every time they want to order something. This wants to be removed by Samsung so that conversations are much more accessible and fluid.
Rumors suggest that the Samsung Galaxy Note could be presented by the company between the months of August and September of this same year. As always, we will give a good account of this and other news related to Samsung and its devices.
