hey it's Josh Vergara what's going on everybody and we hope you have enjoyed all of the Samsung Galaxy s8 and si plus coverage that we brought to you so far however we wanted to give back to you about big speed the assistant that Samsung is adding onto their Samsung Galaxy devices now and I can all be triggered using the big V button that is found on the left side underneath the volume rocker simply press the button and then a big splash screen will come up which is listening for your voice and you will be able to say a bunch of different voice commands all of which will trigger something in the phone anything from even turning down the screen brightness to pulling up the most recent take in photo and even to taking a selfie but there going to be a ton of other applications that will be supported by Bixby and the number of them will be available out of the box if you are watching the unpacked event you also saw that there was an external voice and touch essentially the fact that you will be able to trigger a function with your voice and then finish the action using some sort of contextual item that is brought up on the screen this is what kind of integration you can expect with Samsung applications and hopefully that later will also be made available to third-party applications so you don't have to be beholden to Samsung's own applications bigsby will be layered into the cameras however making the Samsung Galaxy S eight cameras even more powerful a small icon will be made available so that you can trigger the scanning application not only can you scan words and translate from dozens of different languages but you can scan pretty much any item or even place to get contextual information based upon its the big speed database will be pulling from places like Amazon and it will be able to tell you product information about different items or some information about a place that it recognizes as you have it inside of the cameras frame this icon will also appear in pictures that you have already saved in your phone as a big sphere icon will appear in this gallery so that it will be able to scan the photo and do a sort of reverse image search and then new information about the thing that you show big scoop now a lot of these features sound kind of familiar it's because they probably are to you because we have a lot of capabilities that are very similar to Google now and Google now on tap especially the fact that the Bigsby button can be made contextual however hitting the Bigsby button is really just the start of it all because Bigsby will also integrate into the main home screen swipe over from the left and you'll be able to see a Bigsby splash screen where a lot of contextual items will be shown there's no denying that this year 2017 is going to be the year of assistance and artificial intelligence and Bixby is just another foray into that particular world so we will see if Samsung is able to create an assistant in big speed even if it doesn't quite roll off the tongue that is incredibly useful on top of what has already been a pretty useful google assistant after all google assistant does come built-in on the samsung galaxy has eight devices so when will you be able to use big speed well Korean Samsung devices will get its capabilities at launch and then the US will follow shortly after from there Bixby will continue to get updates so all of its capabilities should be able to evolve pretty exponentially over the next year or so making bigsby a pretty good competitor to Google assistant even though it sits alongside it so we just wanted to recap the big suite features and then also make announce to you the integration that it has with a lot of Samsung applications Samsung official applications that is if you want to see all of these details in a poll written feature you can go over to Android or EECOM and Robert Trix has a wonderful article that will tell you all you need to know about big speeds that we were told at the unpacked event so keep it tuned to Andrew 30 for all of the best about the exams on Galaxy s8 and the si+ as we are reporting to you live from New York City where the unpacked event was keep it tuned here and remember to drop us some thumbs up on these videos and also you can subscribe to the channel if you haven't already and don't forget to hit that bell next to it so you can see when all of our videos like this come to your from there you can keep it into Android Authority for even more because we are your source for all things Android
