Samsung is rolling out an update to Bixby that brings the ability to re-map the Bixby button, similar to that of the S10 lineup. However, you cannot set it to launch competing digital assistants.
Bixby 2.0 RSS
Samsung has taken the wraps off its latest tablet today, the Galaxy Tab S5e, which is the first Samsung slate to natively feature Bixby 2.0. It will be available in the second quarter of 2019.
A pain point for Galaxy Note9 owners has been the physical Bixby button that cannot be disabled. Samsung is making a change to its software that should reduce accidental presses of the button.
It didn't take long but bxActions, the button remapping tool for Galaxy devices, has now been updated with support for Bixby 2.0. This means that Galaxy Note9 owners can now remap the Bixby button.
The plans to make Bixby mainstream seems to be one of the major checkpoints in Samsung's agenda. Samsung could launch a smart speaker running Bixby 2.0 at the Unpacked event on August 9th.
Samsung's Bixby platform is set for a major update later this year. The firm today shared more details about the upcoming update, including faster response times and improved noise reduction.
While Bixby has been far from a success in the digital assistant space, that hasn't stopped Samsung from working on its second iteration to be released in conjunction with the Galaxy Note9 this year.
After a short seven months, Samsung is announcing an update to its personal digital assistant, Bixby. Bixby 2.0 made its debut at the firm's developer conference offering lots of promise.
Although Samsung's devices are selling by the millions and receiving plenty of accolades, its digital assistant is another story. Now, the firm could introduce a successor as early as next week.
