Samsung Bixby voice feature expands to 200 countries

Here are a five reasons why you should too. Read below to get a preliminary idea.

That gives you plenty of room to play with the Note’s signature stylus, both for handwritten notes and for doodles, such as this one a Samsung representative penned on my portrait. But look closer and you’ll definitely notice some subtle differences. Some other reports also say that, the 4GB RAM variant of the Galaxy Note 8 smartphone would be limited for the Chinese market only and there is no words on the availability of this phone in other markets in the world.

What’s more, the Galaxy Note 8 boasts squarer corners – a characteristic of the Galaxy Note family – as opposed to the really rounded ones on the Galaxy S8+. It’ll also make it easier to use that fingerprint sensor, since it is still at the top of the device, next to the camera, in a somewhat awkward position. The new phablet is also a bit thicker boasting an 8.6mm frame, compared to the 8.1mm profile of the Galaxy S8+.

For those who are interested, the product is IP68 water and dust resistant, it supports USB Type-C, and guess what? So far there are two main functions, Bixby Vision and Bixby Voice.

Everyone remembers what happened the last time when Samsung launched the Note 7 smartphone. However, the initiative is bearing fruit on a global scale as Samsung recently extended support for English to over 200 countries and territories, a point that even came up during the Note 8 launch event.

The Gear VR is a more obvious case of releasing a new model to accommodate the new Samsung Note 8 smartphone which was just launched in NY this week. But the S8 already has one of the Note 8’s signature features, an “infinity display” that maximizes screen size by reducing the frame, or bezel, surrounding the display.

According to CNBC, Samsung is hoping to connect all of its products using the Bixby digital personal assistant at the center. Thanks to the dual-lens, the Note 8 actually takes a couple of shots with every shutter click.

In the USA, the Note 8 will be available for pre-order on August 24 and will hit store shelves on September 15.

Bixby was introduced with the launch of the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus earlier this year but without voice recognition. Both handsets include an 8-megapixel selfie snapper with f/1.7 and autofocus. Samsung Note 8 is assembled on Qualcomm 835 for the USA market, and Russian Federation will come a version with less productive Samsung 8895. The Note 8 has 6 GB of RAM, and the phones have 64 GB of memory, as well as an SD cart slot to expand capacity. This launch of Samsung Galaxy Note 8 in India shall be done soon in upcoming months with no official confirmation on the same.

I’m expecting the Note 8 to be the best smartphone camera on the market, and I’ll be testing that when I get a hold of a review model. Priced at $930 as its introductory price in United Kingdom, the skyrocketing prices of Samsung Galaxy Note 8 have not made their way to Indian market as yet.
