Despite its heavy focus on new Galaxy AI features, Samsung isn’t killing off Bixby, at least for now, on its Galaxy devices.
Voice assistants on our smartphones are an expected part of the device, but as AI takes over, they’re changing. Samsung, though, isn’t killing off Bixby for its new Galaxy AI suite, but it’s also not changing anything either.
Bixby first launched on the Galaxy S8 way back in 2017. At the time, it managed to get a dedicated button on some Samsung phones, but that eventually faded away, as did Samsung’s emphasis on the voice assistant itself. Bixby is still around in 2024, but it has largely transitioned into a role where it helps with on-device automation.
