Barcelona
Samsung Mobile chief DJ ko told
reporters that his company will launch
its bixby 2.0 virtual personal assistant
platform with the Galaxy Note 9 later
this year according to Sam Mobile which
earlier reported on coast comments the
samsung mobile chief said that his
company is currently testing bixby 2.0
with approximately 800 partners Samsung
actually unveiled bixby 2.0 late last
year the company said at the time that
Bixby would represent a bold reinvention
of the virtual personal assistant and
make for a more intelligent experience
across the board while samsung has been
tight-lipped about the plans the company
confirmed at Mobile World Congress that
bixby 2.0 will include integration with
a variety of apps and services according
to Sam mobile
additionally Samsung executive vice
president Yui Suk Chun told reporters
that bits B will include the ability to
recognize individual voices that means
more than one person will be capable of
interacting with a virtual assistant and
it can intelligently respond based on
that person's preferences the news is
likely welcomed among Samsung users that
have used Bixby in the Galaxy s8 line
and Galaxy Note 8 while Samsung has
acknowledged that the first generation
bixby has some work to do and even
offered some updates in the Galaxy S9
like real-time language translation it's
still far behind the markets leader
Amazon Alexa integrating it into other
apps and services however could be a
major leap forward although Samsung
won't initially offer bixby 2.0 in the
galaxy s 9 that's slated to launch on
March 16th that doesn't mean it won't
come to the handset Samsung could unveil
bits B 2.0 with the galaxy note 9
and then make it available to Galaxy S9 and galaxy s9 plus in a
software update sometime after it's a
move Samsung typically makes to keep its
two flagship lines updated and will
likely continue in 2018
