However, does Samsung have a similar product to Alexa?
Innovative smart assistants like Apple Siri and Samsung Bixby are essential to Android and Apple mobile and smart devices. Bixby appears to be particularly skilled at voice commands, but Siri is remarkably adept at activities requiring attention to detail. While Siri is compatible with iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches, HomePods, and other gadgets, Bixby is available on a range of Samsung smart devices. Not only does Bixby have a selfie shortcut and can be remapped to open different apps, but Siri can also be used to communicate with shortcut instructions. Whereas Siri is superior at pulling up calendars, sending emails and texts, and providing better weather information, Bixby can perform a wide range of smartphone chores and integrates effectively with third-party apps. Both Bixby and Siri are excellent at integrating with smart homes; Bixby is compatible with a wide range of Samsung smart devices, while Siri is compatible with Apple HomePod smart speakers and can be integrated with other smart home goods through Apple HomeKit. With Bixby, Samsung wants customers to be able to accomplish anything they can do with their devices by touch.
