Samsung presents the news of bixby 2.0

A week ago we told you that Samsung had planned to present Bixby 2.0 on October 18. Finally, it has been so, and the Korean firm yesterday presented the news that its new virtual assistant was going to bring. The moment chosen was the Samsung developer conference in San Francisco. Now, we already know the news that Bixby 2.0 is not going to leave.

What is new in Bixby 2.0?

The virtual assistant of the Korean company has not had the expected success. Too many glitches have been made with its development and release. So Samsung hopes to change course with these new features presented last night. Bixby 2.0 is already a reality. We tell you more about its news.

Bixby 2.0 on more devices

The assistant was present until now in the Galaxy S8, thanks to its exclusive button. But its presence was very limited and that is what Samsung wants to change. So they are going to bring the wizard to more devices. The company plans to introduce the assistant to its SmartTVs and its Family Hub. Additionally, Samsung is working on its own smart speaker, which will feature Bixby.

Bixby in Spanish

One of the assistant's biggest problems so far have been languages, specifically the absence of Spanish. Fortunately, it seems that this problem will be part of the past. Bixby 2.0 will arrive in Spanish next year. A change that can help the virtual assistant achieve greater acceptance in the Spanish-speaking market. It is expected to arrive in the first half of 2019, maybe in time with the Galaxy S9.

Improved understanding

Something essential in the proper functioning of a virtual assistant is that communication is fluid. That was something that Bixby had to improve, and that Samsung is going to correct in the new version. Bixby 2.0 will have an improvement in understanding, so that we can speak to the assistant fluently. You will also be able to better recognize the voice of the user.

It seems that Samsung is putting the batteries with its virtual assistant. Bixby 2.0 is going to bring us a lot of improvements, so we hope they work well and help make the Korean company assistant better.
