Samsung Announces Latest Bixby in One UI 8.5, Smarter and Responsive
Bixby’s Latest Developments: More Intuitive and Sophisticated Smart Assistant
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd recently announced the beta program for the latest version of Bixby, a smart assistant who is now present as a more communicative device agent. With the improvement of its functionality, Bixby is now able to provide a more intuitive interaction experience for Galaxy users, allowing them to control the device more easily and efficiently.
Bixby now serves not only as a voice assistant, but also as a conversational agent capable of understanding the needs of users through natural language. This allows users to explain what they need or ask about the condition of the device without having to know certain technical terms. For example, if the user says, “I don’t want the screen to turn off while I’m still using it,” Bixby will immediately activate the ‘Stay Enable screen while watching’ feature without the need to search for manual settings.
Control devices with natural language
One of the main features of Bixby is its ability to control and navigate Galaxy devices using natural language. Users no longer need to memorize the name of the settings or specific commands. They simply convey their wishes in the form of simple sentences, and Bixby will understand the meaning and take appropriate action.
In addition, Bixby can also recognize the settings of the device being used and suggest the right solution. This helps users complete tasks more quickly, especially when they are not familiar with certain features. For example, if a user asks, “Why does my phone screen always turn on when I’m in my pocket?” Bixby will display relevant settings such as accidental touch protection, so users can turn it on without any trouble.
Real-time web search capabilities
Bixby is now also equipped with real-time web search capabilities. This assistant can access the latest information and display the results directly in the Bixby interface. Thus, users do not need to switch to other browsers or applications to get answers to their questions. The information needed can be found more quickly, so that the user remains focused on the task he is working on.
For example, a user can say to Bixby, “Find me a hotel in Seoul that has a swimming pool for children.” Bixby will process the request and provide relevant search results directly in the interface, without interruption or pause.
Availability and future plans
The latest Bixby update is available on ONE UI 8.5 in several countries such as Germany, India, Korea, Poland, United Kingdom, and the United States. Samsung plans to expand access to this update to other countries in the near future. Users who want to know more about Bixby can visit Samsung’s official website.
