I would give bixby some credit for being able to do stuff related to phone operations that the others can’t do. However it doesn’t work for me. I think most would just use google assistant which is a good assistant and use Siri if you’re on iOS.
Totally got what you’re saying, but the op was implying to use two to get the best of both worlds. I guess if it works for you.
 
If??
Hahahaha.
Ok keep preaching the Samsung gospel.

“Samsung’s Bixby—A frustrating voice assistant with all the wrong features

“In general, Bixby seems broken and unfinished.”

Yeah it’s soo good Samsung was paying its users to use bixby. Hahahaha.

That doesn’t sound good .



Honestly this article by fortune is just brutal.

“Bixby 2.0 Is Likely To Be A Reason Not To Buy The Galaxy Note 9”

Bixby is a reason not to choose a Samsung device

Bixby is Samsung’s attempt to compete against Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa and so far, it has been nothing short of a disaster.... This is because compared to Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and even the much-maligned Siri, Bixby is hopelessly outclassed.

And

Bixby voice only shines in the areas where Samsung has given it special access to hardware that competitors do not have. Outside of this area, Bixby is a third-rate experience that is unlikely to generate much traction especially as the vastly superior Google Assistant is just a button press away.

And

In fact, the user experience is so bad that Bixby is more of an annoyance to Samsung users and is rapidly becoming a reason not to buy a Samsung device.

Ouch

I think they both suck compared to google assistant but Siri sucks more.

I'm not trying to talk Bixby up, but Bixby does so much more than Siri.

You have to be a sycophant to talk Siri up though, most Apple fans will agree Siri is at best, incomplete, at worse, a butt of everyone's joke.

Your article is a year old, Appleinsiders video is a few months old, there's been a few updates since.

Maybe you should stick to emojis as a point of derision for samsung copying apple, your defense of siri comes across as a little desperate.

Uh. Huh.
Bixby
 
Normally you could agree in part with that, but iOS 11 is just about as far removed from ‘perfection’ as you can possibly get! Due to the bugs.

I agree. Easily the worst version of iOS to date as far as bugs go. But I still personally prefer iOS to Android.
