Google Assistant to Replace Bixby
The deal is reported by Bloomberg and Google is in talks with Samsung for a deal that would allow Google’s services to be more prominence on Samsung phones. The two companies are said to be in talks to make the deal official, and it is unclear what the terms of the pact would be.
The deal between Google and Samsung is to promote Google Assistant over Bixby and Google Play Store over Galaxy Store on Samsung smartphones. This will allow users to have a more seamless experience when using these devices, as they will be able to access the same features and services without having to switch between the two platforms.
If Google Assistant replaces Bixby, it would be a good thing as Bixby is good but not as good as Google Assistant. And if the deal is finalized, Google will have more control over Samsung smartphones, which might take a toll on Samsung’s own services. ..
Samsung is expected to invest a lot of money in the deal, as they have been met with backlash for adding a dedicated button for Bixby on the Galaxy S8. ..
Google has confirmed that it will not be changing its policy of allowing device makers to create their own app stores and digital assistants. This is one of the great features of the Android platform, and Google regularly talks with partners about ways to improve the user experience. ..
Samsung has agreed to a deal with Google that will see the two companies work together to offer the best mobile experiences for users. This is in addition to their existing relationship, where Samsung works closely with Google on its ecosystem and services.
A new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 has been leaked, showing a new name and a punch-hole camera. The device is said to have a 6.3-inch display and an octa-core processor. ..
Google is testing a new game platform called Stadia over cellular networks, according to a report from The Verge. The platform would allow developers to create games that can be played on devices like the Xbox One and Playstation 4, without having to rely on traditional online services. This could help Google gain a foothold in the gaming market, as it would give it an edge over competitors like Microsoft and Sony.
