Samsung Bixby digital assistant now available worldwide
Samsungs Bixby digital assistant landed in the US only a month ago, but as of today it is available globally. Theres a catch though while you can run Bixby in any country, it still only understands US English and Korean.
It should work okay in Canada, the UK, Australia and South Africa, but it is sensitive to accent. Samsung claims Bixbys deep learning tech will continuously improve its ability to interpret regional dialects.
Theres no word on when new languages will be added, but Samsung is working on it. Also, it wants to integrate Bixby into third-party apps, which will give you full control over them with voice commands.
If you have a Galaxy S8 or S8+, hit the Bixby button to begin the setup.
