    [Poll Results!] Do you think Bixby Voice will be available internationally before the Galaxy Note 8 launches?

    Bixby Voice was originally set to launch on board the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+, but a lack of resources meant the firm was only able to release the feature in one region: South Korea.

    However, last month Samsung kicked off an Early Access Program for Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ owners in the United States wanting to try out Bixby Voice — but it wasn't exactly well-received.

    Shortly after it was made available, a number of testers took to the internet to complain that it wasn't able to answer simple questions. Apparently, it couldn't even identify the president.

    A recent report claims that Bixby Voice will launch in the United States by the end of July, but judging by the current state of the feature, it doesn't seem likely… at all.

    To be completely honest, we're not even sure it'll be ready by the time the Galaxy Note 8 is unveiled and if that turns out to be the case, the dedicated Bixby button will go to waste once again.

    This bodes the question: do you think Bixby Voice will be available internationally before the Galaxy Note 8 hits the shelves? Be sure to let us know by casting a vote in the poll below.

    Poll Results: The majority believe that Bixby Voice won't be available internationally before the handset is released, while 27% think it'll only be available in the United States and 15% expect it to be available everywhere.
