It's supposed to recommend context-aware information in the form of cards, allow voice control of apps and even allow for control of various smart Samsung devices.
One of the Galaxy S8 line's highly anticipated features is the Bixby.
Tech Crunch reported that the Samsung Galaxy S8 will delay its English version (meant for the western users) of Bixby voice assistant. That's good news for Samsung, which has had to pick itself up after the Note 7 fail, shake off the shadow of consumer fears and refresh itself with the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus.
Key features of Bixby, including Vision, Home and Reminder, will be available with the global launch of the Samsung Galaxy S8 on April 21. It is so developed that its digital assistant works with voice, as well as text and camera inputs.

Chelsea's preparations for the game were affected by the loss of goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois with an ankle injury during the week. The Italian added he had not been able to "transfer the right concentration, desire, ambition to win this game".
The Bixby Assistant was the most talked about thing after the Infinity display.
Samsung said the voice function would be unavailable on locally-sold phones at first and a decision on when it will be switched-on will be made in the coming months, the Daily Telegraph reported.
Samsung's voice assistant has already been confirmed to be launching in just two languages: US English and Korean, meaning United Kingdom and European owners will need to wait for local language support.
After a bungled recall that cost the company more than $5 billion and ultimately led it to kill off of the Note 7, analysts have said Samsung needs a flawless launch for the S8. Bixby was built on technology that was acquired from Viv, an AI virtual assistant created by some of the same people who originally built Siri. Samsung heavily touted the feature when it announced the GS8 last month, but apparently it needs a bit more time in the oven before its ready for public consumption.
