The Galaxy S24 pulled the rug from under Bixby’s feet

Many Samsung fans can recall when the company kept promoting its in-house digital assistant, Bixby, at every turn. But that time appears to have come and gone, and it almost feels like the Galaxy S24 series pulled the rug from under Bixby's feet — for better or worse. Although Bixby is available on the Galaxy […]

Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro Action Button is just a recycled Bixby key

Apple's iPhone 15 launch yesterday was interesting, to say the least. The biggest changes is that the company is finally giving up on its proprietary charging port and will now ship the new iPhones with a USB-C port. The company also made a hardware change by replacing the vintage ring/vibrate switch with a new Action […]

Samsung needs to share its vision for Bixby if it wants users to care

Bixby is a feature that a lot of Samsung fans love to hate. It may have something to do with how Bixby was imposed, for lack of a better word, on users when it arrived with the Galaxy S8 back in 2017. The device featured a separate Bixby key that you couldn't use for anything […]

Only ChatGPT can stop Bixby from being such a waste of space

By the time Samsung jumped on the voice assistant train with Bixby, it was already too late. Apple's Siri and the Google Assistant had already been out for some time. Not only did it arrive late but Bixby was also evidently less capable of the lot. It was clear that Samsung's voice assistant tech had […]

The Galaxy S10’s Bixby Routines is my favorite Bixby feature

The Galaxy S10 lineup brings quite a few software tricks, and Bixby Routines is my favorite after having used both the Galaxy S10+ and Galaxy S10e in the last three weeks. Routines is a feature that Samsung lifted from its Good Lock app and lets you automate various aspects of the device when certain conditions […]

The Bixby button drives me nuts

Hardware buttons have gone out of fashion now. That's one of the reasons why Samsung's decision to drop the home button on the Galaxy S8 was well received. The handset should ideally have had three buttons: power and volume up/down. That's not the case, though. Samsung introduced a dedicated button for its Bixby voice assistant […]

Here’s what we think of Bixby (in its current form)

When Samsung announced Bixby, I was excited to try it out. Wait. Scratch that. I couldn't wait to try it out. The firm marketed it as being the mother of all digital assistants, capable of simultaneously communicating with you using voice and text. Only one of those things turned out to be true, though. Unless […]

And it sort of is the expected outcome, seeing how much the company has pushed Circle to Search to the forefront through promotional material and press releases. The company even paid more than one million dollars […]

Apple being sued by the US shows Samsung was right all along

The way Apple locks down its customers has long been heralded as the epitome of prudent business management. It was presented as the best way for companies that make mobile devices to ensure that their user base remained loyal, and companies that took a different route were almost looked down upon. Apple's infamous walled garden […]

Your old Galaxy phone already has AI, just not Galaxy AI

Although, so far, the Galaxy S24 series is the only one to have access to Samsung's latest Galaxy AI features, AI (Artificial Intelligence) has been around for years. And chances are that your old Galaxy phone, even a mid-range one, has been harnessing the power of ML (Machine Learning) and AI all this time — […]

Let’s hope Samsung avoids stupid ideas from Google’s ‘Pixie’ AI assistant

Be prepared to get sick of hearing about artificial intelligence or AI next year. It's going to be the theme of 2024. You've already seen both Samsung and Qualcomm talk about the AI capabilities of the Exynos 2400 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipsets that will be used for the Galaxy S24 series. Google's been […]

Compared to Unpacked, Apple iPhone events have become a snoozefest

Do you remember a time when there used to be so much hype and excitement for Apple's iPhone launch events? Even people who weren't Apple fans or used iPhones tuned in to see just how the company had improved its highly popular phones. It goes without saying that the iPhone is one of the world's […]
