What is bixby ? You have already been aware that the smart speaker market has been heating up a lot over the past couple months and year and a half so we got Google assistant in the form of Google home in that smart speaker and we got series smart assistant in a home pod. But today we have a bit of an exclusive for you guys. Here we are finding an answer of  a wonderful question, What is bixby ?

What is bixby ?

our first look at samsung smart assistant in the form of a Bixby home. so we’re gonna give it a shot.  Samsung is been doing great with hardware especially on their phones. We kind of just give them that they’re top-notch. But it’s the software where we start to have some questions. Its virtual assistant didn’t do so hot but it’s been a couple months there’s been some updates.

let’s look into the box of bixby which is pretty simple pretty inviting

But if we take it out it looks pretty

good we got some some Bixby blue these blue accents but uh it’s nice and dense, it’s weighted, it’s pretty clean honestly it looks like a pretty good smart speaker. There are buttons at the top and they’re blue I guess there’s no screen kind of like Google assistant or home pod they all have that little screen at the top. But you don’t really use that when you’re across the room so that’s not I’m not taking points off for that so we’ve got to get past this beautiful hardware and see if Bixby is all about it. Because that’s what makes or breaks a smart speaker. If the assistant actually does its job.

Things to ask Bixby 2018

Question : hey Bixby what’s your name

Bigsby : my name is Bigsby

Question : hey Bixby what’s the weather

Bigsby : The weather refers to day-to-day temperature and precipitation activity (This is  technically correct, but I was more looking for like the weather here right now )

Question : hey Bixby what’s the weather in New York City right now

Bigsby : it is currently 50 degrees in cloudy in New York City  (Bexby, you’ve got to be a little more specific but it gets it right so that’s that’s the simple default question of the weather)

Basically we know there’s a long list of things that can probably do like set a timer, look up information on Google. we kind of wanted to be able to do, also the more novel things like answering more random questions Google uses the knowledge graph so we can check this by a simple question.

Question : hey Bixby how far away is the moon

Bigsby : far far away

I think most would have most would have given an answer in like miles/hour kilometers or something but you’re not wrong Bixby you’re not wrong. I don’t know most of them can tell jokes, lets try one joke

Question : hey Bixby tell me a joke

Bigsby : knock knock

Responce (by me) : who’s there

Bigsby : aren’t you glad I didn’t say banana haha  (you kind of forgot half of that)

They don’t all have to have good jokes that’s not a big deal  that’s a missing feature. um okay so you know that’s Siri like. what they think of Google and vice versa

Question : hey Bixby what do you think of Siri

Bigsby : dad [ a loud noice is followed by that dad, its an iritating one ( may be bexby saying something vulgar). i just hit on the top of bixby to make her mute]

Question : hey Bixby just do a trick

Bigsby : okay pick a number between one and two

Responce (by me) : okay

Bigsby : is your number one

Responce (by me) : no actually

Bigsby : [Iritating loud noise]

I think Bixby home can still redeem itself as a legitimate smart speaker. Because it’s still able to answer questions right. In the press release from Samsung they says they’ve interestingly built in a fail-safe to make sure it definitely answers complex questions. which I mean that’s what it comes down to we’re asking a jokes and stuff but it can still save itself so.

Question : hey Bixby what’s 37 times the square root of 94

Bigsby : that’s a tough one okay Google what is 37 times the square root of 94

Ok google in my phone responded : fifty eight point seven two eight

my response : That’s cheating

Bigsby : no it’s not

Question : hey Bixby call Mandy (i am trying to phone call my friend mandy)

Bigsby : okay play and call me maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen (Bixby starts playing a song )

Pros of Bixby, comparing to ok google, amzon alexa and google home

I’m trying to figure out, if it’s really a smart speaker like  if there’s anything this does better than home pod or Google assistant, that would be great I think the one thing Samsung mentioned is it has an inbuilt battery. that’s good  Samsung tried. They wanted to make it a little more portable than Google home and home pod . This built-in battery  push the limits. it’s gonna be sitting around on a countertop for a lot so they said they put in a sixty thousand milliamp hour battery which is pretty massive pushing the limits for a small form-factor.

cons of Bixby, comparing to ok google, amzon alexa and google home

Yes ofcourse it have a disadvantage that heats more than ok google and amazon alexa. That is it heats. like samsung phones Bixby speaker get heats faster due to this inbuilt battery.

Now, you have an answer for the question what is bixby
