This news surely that don't like the big G at all, especially because it conflicts with its own virtual assistant that we know as Google Assistant and that is going to become one of the central axes of Android for the next few years. The Korean manufacturer does not want to be left behind in the race for virtual assistants, so it incorporates its own crop in its Galaxy S8.
Samsung is preparing that the Galaxy S8 does not lack anything to be a tremendous success, and if already in November the rumor emerged that suggested that Samsung would integrate its own personal assistant in its next high-end device, now we have a new one that arrives from SamMobile which suggests that "Bixby" will be able to control all integrated apps on the Galaxy S8.
In itself it is not a great surprise because we have already seen it integrated into Google Assistant or Apple's Siri itself, but the conflict of interests between Google and Samsung is going to be quite large given all the open space that is virtual assistance and on which Google is betting very heavily; We would be talking about the field in which Google Home is deployed, so we will see how all this ends.
The report also suggests that Bixby will work thanks to Viv's artificial intelligence software, the company acquired by Samsung a few weeks ago and which has been working on integrating those services into Bixby since the acquisition was completed.
As a bonus, Bixby would work with native apps, so Samsung would be updating your apps with a new interface to create a uniform design. Regarding the interface, Samsung will create a visible status bar at all times, which would make it easier to access notifications and quick settings.
