Having a smart assistant right on your Android phone is extremely helpful, and useful.
Samsung is arguably the largest company to try and take on the trifecta of smart assistants with Bixby.

What is Bixby?
Bixby was originally introduced back in 2017 with the launch of the Galaxy S8 lineup.
This was meant to be a competitor to the likes of Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, and Siri.
Samsung has put plenty of work into Bixby to try and make it a viable option.
This transforms it back into the Power Button that weve been accustomed to for years.
Much like Apples Siri and Google Assistant, you might summon Bixby with a simple Hi Bixby phrase.
Can you use Google Assistant instead of Bixby?
Simply swipe inwards from the bottom left or right corners, and Google Assistant will activate.
Now this will exactly activate Google Assistant, but it will automatically bring up the Google app.
Conclusion
Samsung really has gone to great lengths to try and improve Bixby since its inception.
Bixby Routines are rather impressive, as its similar to Apples Siri Shortcuts on iOS.
But the fact remains that Bixby just isnt powerful enough to handle the day-to-day needs.
Let us know what you think about Bixby.
Have you decided to stick with it?
Or did you give up the goose, opting for Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa instead?
