The assistants have been gradually integrated into our daily routine with a multitude of functions that allow us to control the mobile phone only with our voice. At Samsung we find Bixby, although this has not always been the case and before being able to enjoy Bixby as the assistant to the Samsung Galaxy S7 and previous models they used S Voice, a beginning of what would come later.
These previous models used the start or power button to activate S Voice but this will change so that your options multiply and make the necessary jump to Bixby. After several years clinging to S Voice, the company wants to continue keeping these old models very alive and not forget that there are still many who use them as the main smartphone.
S Voice closes its doors in favor of Bixby
Sooner or later this moment would come and a few weeks ago the Samsung company announced the news that on June 1 it will no longer be able to use S Voice in the Samsung Galaxy. When the users heard about the news, they were not surprised because it was a function with few possibilities compared to Bixby. Despite this, the Samsung attention chat received questions about it and they themselves confirmed the option to reprogram this direct access by Bixby.
In the Samsung forums this change has also been confirmed by the moderates, although what has not been disclosed is the date on which it can be used. The company is expected to launch a massive update that integrates this option, either with a double tap on the start button, holding it down or on the power button.
S Voice advances to Bixby for all mobiles
For now we know that this Bixby integration will take place on the Samsung Galaxy S7, Galaxy S6, Galaxy S5, Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S3, but not only the high-end will receive this update, the Galaxy A8 2018 will also implement it, so it is It is likely that a wide list of devices launched between 2012 and 2016 also receive this important change.
The possibilities for users will grow widely because in S Voice the limitations were clear, we could only set alarms, send messages by voice or write notes. With Bixby however we have access to thousands of data, information, time consultation, task scheduling and uses. The technology must be accessible to anyone and Samsung demonstrates with this change that even the oldest devices have their chance.
