“Forget Siri, I am Bixby!”


“Forget Siri, I am Bixby!”

Bixby

An AI (Artificial Intelligence) waiting for your command, where we have seen that before? Well the obvious answer will be in movies. For example, in Iron Man, where Jarvis was practically handling everything for Tony Stark; his house, company and all other functions of Iron Man suits. Somethings are more tailor-made for certain things like in this case of Jarvis, it being a fictional character in Iron Man movie.

Bixby, are you different?

The modern technology is at that point where we are can see the practicality of Jarvis into smartphone AI’s. We had Siri, Cortana and now latest addition to the AI world is Bixby. But the question is why it is so different from other Al’s? Samsung claims that Bixby, unlike from its competitors, is fundamentally different because it will do different things like when and where it can be used and what’s going on with your device whenever it’s called to perform some action. 

Bixby


The team behind Bixby project is the same team who first built Siri which was then acquired by Apple. I guess it won’t be wrong if we say that Bixby has the same parents as Siri. Samsung claims Bixby is different from the likes of Siri, Cortana and Google Assistant Work.

  • You will not have to type anymore or just say anything 
  • Bixby will know what you are doing with your app and will give you a helping hand in terms of using certain application 
  • You can give any order to Bixby  
 How do you summon Bixby? On the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+, there is a Bixby button on the left-hand side of the phone.

I am Siri… here to help you!

OK! Thank you, Siri, but let me take it from here. We are not comparing Bixby and Siri but the point is if we needed an Al we would have switched to Apple long time ago. In fact, Google Assistant Work is far better Al that a device could have but the question is why Samsung? You are using Android based operating system and you already have Google Assistant on your devices, then why waste so much resources by adding another add on feature? 

Injong Rhee, executive vice president, head of R&D software and services at Samsung, said, "Samsung has a conceptually new philosophy to target this problem: instead of humans learning how a machine interacts with the world, it is the machine that needs to learn and adapt to us." 

Bixby

We get that but where is the fun in that? Paying so much for a new device (Samsung S8) and not able to learn and explore it. Reports suggest that Bixby will be controlling TV, air conditioning, phone and even it will change diapers of your babies which will be swell. By the looks of it, Samsung is trying to connect all devices control by one. We are guessing that’s another marketing technique to actually sell other Samsung products. But who knows, we are just assuming.

I am Bixby and I will help you

Earlier reports have confirmed that Bixby will be on the Samsung Galaxy S8, which was announced on March 29, going on sale around April 20th onwards. The dates differ in different territories.

SAMSUNG GALAXY S8 THE FUTURISTIC SMART PHONES EVER

Image
SAMSUNG GALAXY S8 Few years back in 2004 when Samsung introduced Note 4 Edge with a curved screen. It felt different compare to the smart phones at that time. The curved screen was alone a stand out feature, which probably indicated the future of Samsung Galaxy or Note devices in terms of its design. Samsung followed that curved design trend they introduced Samsung Galaxy S6. Later they perfected that curved glass display when they gave probably the best smart phone of year 2016 with the introduction of Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. Although Samsung Note 7 could have stolen that tittle if it wasn’t for the battery issue.  The year is 2017 and Samsung introduced Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ are arguably the best looking phones of 2017 so far. For Samsung the pressure was on because the year 2016 ended pretty badly with the Note 7 fiasco for them, so 10 out 10 for Samsung for overcoming that and giving us the pinnacle of smartphone technology.   The Sa...

Nokia Back from the Dead? Nokia the legend never dies, it might be a cliché but one cannot forget the glory days of Finish Company. The pre iPhone era Nokia was at top of the world. Nokia was ruling the smart phone world without any fear of competition. Then came the unexpected for not only Nokia but other mobile phone companies as well. A revolutionary device (iPhone), which not only changed our lives as a consumer but the lives of smart phone manufacture as well.  Microsoft came into rescue they acquired the company's smartphone business in 2014. Lumia born and bred in Nokia’s backyard yet it never had that name, which made many people smile and connected.   The day has come when Nokia is back from the Dead or should I say business. Thanks to Finnish start up HMD signing a 10-year deal to stick the Nokia name on smartphones and tablets, and the Nokia 6 is the current top dog in its initial line-up of four devices.
