Samsung continues to improve the features of its Bixby virtual assistant and it appears that the latest versions of its assistant are 35% faster.
While in the past there were rumors about Bixby’s disappearance in favor of Google Assistant, now it seems to have come back into effect with a new User interface overhaul, which makes it take up less of the screen when activated.
Samsung mentioned during the Unpacked event that Bixby will run 35% faster on Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Galaxy Z Fold 3. This improvement is the result of voice processing on the device rather than going through Samsung’s servers.
The speech processing in the device is done through the NPU (Neural Processing Unit) which is built into the smartphone’s processor. Although, the company has not revealed whether this enhancement will make it to other older Galaxy devices.
