Happy one-year anniversary, I guess, to the Samsung Galaxy Home, which was announced a year ago today.
The Bixby speaker was announced at the Note 9 launch in 2018, we just had the Note 10 launch in 2019, and the event came and went without a ship date or even a mention for Samsung's smart speaker.
The Galaxy Home was supposed to be Samsung's answer to the Amazon Echo and Google Home—a smart speaker with a voice assistant inside, but the development is taking forever.
The Galaxy Home's absence at Samsung's latest event didn't go unnoticed by the media.
Samsung confirmed to The Verge the device isn't cancelled, saying, “We’re continuing to refine and enhance the Galaxy Home prior to launch, and look forward to sharing more with Galaxy fans soon.”
Samsung's whole assistant push with Bixby always seemed questionable, as it puts Samsung in the position of having to be an ecosystem creator, something it has not typically done.
The Galaxy Note 10 doesn't have a hardware button for Bixby, Samsung's AI smart assistant.
Bixby debuted on the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus in 2017 and was an attempt to answer Apple's Siri on the iPhone, the Google Assistant on pretty much any Android phone and Amazon's Alexa.
Fine, but the biggest issue with Bixby has to do with the placement of a dedicated hardware button that triggered the assistant.
Frequently when grabbing a Galaxy phone, it was easy to accidentally press the Bixby key and activate the assistant when you didn't want to.
Samsung also did away with the headphone jack on the new Note and there will no doubt be people mourning its loss.
However, news that the Note 10 will lack the Bixby Key might actually spur figurative celebrations and parties.
A lot of people wanted to disable Bixby, announced by Samsung.
For the Galaxy S9 and Note 9 users, it has become essential to eliminate Bixby and forget that it ever existed.
Not only this, but the Galaxy S10 and Note 10 users are also trying to figure out the same.We’ve noticed that with every new device introduced by Samsung, the need to remove Bixby increases.
A lot of people might be unfamiliar with the Samsung user’s obsession to disable the Bixby feature.
The Bixby button is placed right below the volume button that more often leads to accidental presses.A whole new level of frustration is knowing that the Bixby button is combined with the power button in phones like Note 10, Note 10+, Galaxy S20, and Galaxy Note 20.
Sit back and take a sigh of relief as there is finally a solution to disable Bixby for good.How to Disable Bixby Permanently?The method to disable Bixby on Note 10, S20 and Note 20 series differs slightly from the one on Galaxy S8, S9, S10, Note 8, and Note 9.
