Samsung started rolling out the Android 10 beta for the Galaxy S9/S9+ today and for the Note 9 last week in select markets. Predictably, the update brings many of the new features that Samsung debuted on its newer devices launched this year, like Night mode for the front-facing camera.

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.

Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ owners who love using Bixby for controlling various aspects of the phone might want to hold off from updating to Android Pie. As one of our readers pointed out, Bixby 2.0 on Android Pie on the Galaxy S9 fails to understand many commands that worked with Bixby 1.0. And it […]
Samsung has been striving hard to turn its late-to-the-market virtual assistant, Bixby, into a differentiating factor for its products. It has been collaborating with other companies to make its assistant capable, smart, and more useful. The latest in the line of these efforts is the coming together of Adobe and Samsung to make mobile scanning […]

By the time Samsung introduced its own virtual assistant, Bixby, it was already late to the party. Google, Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft were already investing heavily in developing an intelligent assistant that can be built into various devices. Samsung still decided to take up the challenge and build an intelligent assistant into all of its […]
After seven seemingly long months with Samsung's coveted personal assistant, Bixby, it is safe to say that I have a pretty solid gauge as to its abilities and disabilities.

We were also introduced to the 85-inch QLED Q9S, which boasts unique artificial intelligence technology that upscales any content into 8K. Samsung has now […]
Samsung recently appointed a new executive for the development of Bixby in an effort to enhance the performance of the assistant, which, as The Korea Herald notes, has faced a lackluster response from the market. The firm confirmed on Thursday that Samsung Research America’s Vice Chief Chung Eui-suk has been named the Head of its […]
Samsung has worked with LinkedIn to deeply integrate the professional social network with Bixby.

Samsung started rolling out Bixby Voice in the US yesterday, and owners of the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ can now use all the capabilities of the AI-powered digital assistant on their smartphones.
