This is the first time I've seen anyone mention Bixby. What a shitty feature and waste of a button

Supposedly Bixby excels at usability for impaired/disabled. As it has direct control over the phones functions.

Still trash though

They got spooked when the internet sexualized her.

That never occurred to me but damn, you're right. That's a big missed opportunity

I really just hate that they used a whole button for it.

I've had more success with Bixby with a lot of things than I did with Google Assistant.

The fucking thing couldn't even consistently send me notifications when my Samsung washer was finished running. Let alone anything I've asked it to do in the first months of owning a Galaxy watch before giving up on it entirely because it's a useless POS and the means of setting up Alexa and Google on it instead are far too convoluted. Fortunately, even Samsung has given up on it and their watches now include Google Assistant.

Look, I'm not shilling for Bixby.

I have had multiple issues with Google assistant where it couldn't set timers, kept timing out, wouldn't play Spotify on android Auto etc.

These issues would randomly pop in and fix themselves, which means that Google is fucking with it server side.

In these instances I've used Bixby as a fallback which worked every time without a fault.

Just my experience.

But frankly I consider all assistants shit as they only work as advertised in commercials. And speaking a non-native language to my phone is cringe as fuck.
