the english-speaking version of Samsung's virtual assistant Bixby has been delayed again the good news is is that if you do have a Galaxy s8 you're not entirely out of luck the excellent Google assistant is already available on your device Bixby voice was announced as a feature on Samsung's Galaxy s8 but so far it's incomplete in english-speaking countries vision home and reminder are all available but key features like voice control are only available in Korean this is an important launch for Samsung which is already a little behind the eight ball when it comes to Virtual Assistants Apple Amazon Microsoft and Google all have assistance already available and so Samsung is gonna have to step up its AI game it appears the English version of big speed doesn't have enough data to teach it to function properly which is a major disadvantage to its competitors who all have massive amounts of user information and install bases to learn from Samsung hopes Bixby will start on phones like the galaxy s 8 and then make the leap to its smart appliances and televisions something a little bit different than the competition this could end up being sort of a chicken-egg situation for Samsung where people don't quite want to buy into the s8 or the Bixby family of devices until they have a phone that has it natively and then Samsung may not be able to actually make Bixby very good if it doesn't have that user install base so whatever ends up happening Samsung better figure it out and fast for cnet.com I'm Ashley's gonna be good humans
