Anna Skaggs: Hello, The reason women as a group do not do tech videos is they behave as though they do not need to learn tech stuff; that is their mindset. When more women get into STEM we may see more women producing tech videos.
This is easily the most informative review I have read of Bixby. It has features similar to the Google Home and Home Mini. I have watched numerous reviews and no one has done this in-depth a review of this assistant. Thanks a lot.
Finally someone showed Bixby some love. I actually work for Samsung and trained Bixby so this is a breath of fresh air seeing a tech vlogger spend time on this. Most people hate on Bixby but havent given it a chance. Remember Bixby is brand new going up against AI assistance the been around for years. Good job
Since u work for samsung how the hell do I turn off bixby I have the note 9 and I hate hitting the button and my video or whatever im watching or doing is interupted by bixby
Read my comment. Put shortly... Bixby is unnecessary for me and drains my battery. Requires me to be tracked to use fully. Features like this are for old people that cant handle tech
@@david99340 for reals. I turned it off and this crap is still on. I own a galaxy note 9. I want this shit to be something I can uninstall. I'm not an idiot and in hella fast all in my own. Features like device assistant or Bixby are things that actually hinder a device for an advanced user. At this poi t the only way to get rid of it is to become a super user by rooting your phone. I dont do this method but I know it's the only way to get rid of the nuisance of battery draining Bixby. You cant even disable it bro. What kind of bullshit is this?
I love Bixby ... I turned off the quick action button and voice recognition to save battery, but I do use it (only when needed) by keeping the action button pressed in for a few seconds... very intuitive in comparison with Alexa & Siri... she just gets things done! Kudos @SamungBixby
I'm having issues we 2.0. Example: asking to call "Jay Allen". It types J Elon! Can't find? A quick command, call Susan, says not in contacts after previously working then starts working off and on? Ask to close a open app, says app not open, it clearly is. Answering a call, Bixby either can't hear or is late to respond and call goes to voicemail. Cannot hear while music or other media playing? 2.0 is worse than 1.0. Really needs to be reworked! I've tried different settings, not helping.
It's simple.. Google assistant to general tasks, Bixby for the more internal phone functions. I'm telling you, that Google-Bixby combo, if managed well; is great.
Maybe for someone that is slow and clumsy with a device, could your statement even be true. This app is a waste of storage. Requires your microphones and cameras to be constantly turned on. Your location to must be on high accuracy mode which kills your battery even worse than just basic location service. your Info must be processed somewhere in a server. Your being tracked for this tech to work. All tracking tech, when enabled, just drains your battery and gives other people too much info about yourself. Your phone knows you better than your future ex.
Yeah maybe she ain't for a per l power user, but then OK Google and for you either. For the one who wants to do more with their choice as Bixby and Google are a great combo. Google for the web search, Bixby for local
I feel like the Bixby+Google one two punch, makes the Galaxy line the best phones on the market. I have literally went: "Hi Bixby" - " Home Screen" - "OK google" - "Navigate me to: (address)". Then "Hi Bixby" - Play Music. and I don't need to touch any tech in my car.
The problem with Bixby was a PR one on Samsung's part. They imposed Bixby with zero ways to deactivate it at first (S8) and a fixed, unchangeable physical button. Shoving Bixby down our throats over Google Assistant (doing the same) was too much for most people.
Thank you thank you thank you for being one of only few people for being brave enough to try Bixby to say the good points and the bad and actually take time to show the potential of the platform. More reviewers need to be more opened mind like you. Well done💯
i like using the Bixby button when I arrive home. I press the Bixby button and say "Home". I set this command to turn on wifi, turn off bluetooth, close all apps, and then turn off the screen. By the time it's done doing this I have already left the phone on my desk stand.
I actually set bixby routines. Whenever it detects the wifi it automatically turns on my room lights and turnoss off data/ GPS, etc. Bixby is amazing but a lot of people don't use it. I hope it doesn't get removed in the future.
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S8 and despite some of the negative feedback I decided to give Bixby a try. I love it! I use quick commands all the time.
I started dying laughing when the pop socket came off 😂. I really love how u don't edit those stuff out. It makes the videos more realistic and real instead of robotish. Keep up the excellent content 👌😁👍.
Was never a big fam of Bixby. I do have to admit that the automated commands were really good, however, some have changed the way they work on Bixby 2.0. Now you actually have to unlock the phone with a PIN, Fingerprint or iris scan, instead of voice control only. Also, can no longer teach Bixby and get points for it. I did have it setup at one point, where I would tell it to "self-destruct", it would ask for my voice confirmation, then start factory resetting the phone; another feature no longer available.
This a great video and I learn some new things thank you. I hated Bixby, my first interaction with it is when I got the note 8, that Bixby button is so annoying and it can not be remapped and it was so sensitive at the time, samsung literally forcing this feature on it customers and that why most people hated Bixby and never gave it a chance, I buy a android to be able to customize the phone to my liking, so when apps come out that would let you remap that button, and Samsung disable that app with an update than again causing more people to resent Bixby.
chris18112 well said. Samsung know that they are late in the AI game and it's customers will ignore Bixby and continue with Google. The vision is for a global Samsung eco system...including fridges, tv's, washing machines, SMART home etc. Bixby is needed to achieve this AI goal so therefore ensure its customers buy in to using the app. That's where the fixed button, baked in apps and sponsored vids come in. Maybe it is a great thing - however, the way Bixby has been forced (with an obvious agenda) has gotten people's backs up more than the app it's self?
The name is awful...who thought of that. Sounds like a "Virtual Butler" oh that's what it is. I still hate saying Bixby, so I'll pass on it, but keep my phone. "Hey Bill" or "Hey Bud" would have been better.
I just didnt like how when touched the bottom by mistake it would come on, when i really dont use this type of feature in phones, i dont hate it, just dont use it
Thanks for this. Just in time for me. I'm getting an S9 through my office next week, and from all the hate I'd heard (Unbox Therapy), I was already researching how to just disable Bixby immediately. But I'm sold. Screenshot and send, I can see myself using that. Recipe scroll down, yep. Bedtime routine, yep. Pretty slick.
The drawback that I have found is that the voice assistant will activate while I am watching TV and literally anything close to "Hi Bixby" is spoken. It also has a latent problem that would allow someone to hack your phone and record whatever is going on wherever the phone is located.
Wow! This is the first video I have seen of yours, and it could not be more applicable to my life! Bixby has been the bane of my existence since I've gotten my Samsung, and it's because I didn't know how to use it. Thank you for teaching me how to use my phone to its fullest potential! Subscribed.
My problem with Bixby is it's inconsistency. There have been numerous times when I've needed a Bixby command while I've been driving & it has failed. The failure rate is so high that I've started replacing Bixby with Google because I need a reliable virtual assistant. If Bixby was reliable, it would be a great feature. Samsung needs to perfect this app.
I was on board until I read the customization terms- oh my word. Seems like they collect way more than Siri too. Scanning phone calls (inbound and outbound), collecting app info, reminders,- uh no no and no. I'll take the extra 5 secs to set my apps for bed. That's giving up a lot of privacy. Yikes. Did love the video though.
@@jasonfrost5025 That's exactly why I want to limit who ELSE gets my info since most necessary apps & providers do. I don't want to sell my info to set an alarm or voice activate driving directions.
I have to say that I am impressed how android has become more reliable and smooth. I have been using my Note 8 on and off and messed with bixby for a spell.i found it to be very good. Learning g that it can go further in its capability from your video, I may switch back to it and try it out.
Thanks for a wonderful presentation on Bixby; This may get me to at least try to use Bixby to automate certain tasks. My problem with Bixby is apparent inability to decide not to have Bixby on my phone. One of the things that turned me away from Apple products is it seems Apple has more control over the device than the user does. I don't like the idea that I have to occasionally verify my Apple device by logging into the iCloud. I know why Apple does this; I just don't like that I am not give a CHOICE in the matter. If I buy a phone, I should be given a choice of security levels and apps on my phone or not without having to root the device. My Note 9 was a replacement for my Note 3 which has become obsolete only due to the fact the Samsung has not released a more recent version of Android for the phone. Planned obsolescence is another pet peeve for another day. As for the Note 9, I am extremely happy with the phone so far. The battery life is great and I don't wake up to a dead phone if I forget to charge it. The wireless charging is also very nice. I am going to give Bixby a chance after this presentation. BTW; the title of "Bixby - Why Do Some People Hate It?" followed by a tutorial on its benefits and usage is a brilliant marketing move. Attract the unknowing skeptics and convert them...
I would have to agree with all the positive comments that's been left here. Your instructions for Bixby were great. You're like an old friend sitting down beside you and helping you through it. So again thank you. You can be reassured that I'll be watching more of your videos. Do you make videos on repairing vehicles? Lol. Just teasing! Have a great day. Don
Like most things, people talk bad about the things they can’t or refuse to understand. It’s easier for them. You do such great videos and this was another one. Hopefully someone who didn’t understand Bixby will actually try it instead of dismissing it. That Google Assistant/Bixby combo is really useful but you have to be willing and able to learn to use it. Keep up the amazing work. Hard to believe your videos still keep getting better.
I was having way too many issues with my Samsung 8 so I jumped into the LG V30. What I really miss is Samsung Pay. That is the best wallet app I ever had. No one talks about it.
I had the S7 and when i finally got the S9, i was very happy of course but soon I'd find out this Bixby button and i was thinking like wtf?! I don't want this... and actually felt less happy with my device because of it. But after a while, one day I was bored and tried out Bixby for the first time and I really liked it. I don't use it too often but every now and then it comes in handy in certain situations. And all the imaginable things you can do with it is just absolutely fantastic. Can't wait for the S10!!! Samsung Forever.
People hate it for one big reason : Not available in my language, that's all, they keep on promising the French but it goes on and on and on and still no French language despite the updates...
Bixby is definitely underrated and gets more hate than it deserves however after about a month, I realized I didn’t use it as much anymore. Great video and keep up the great work!
Great job its good to c a sista doing this. Im always on the fence of using Bixby bc ppl always putting Bixby down however i was going to try it out on my new Samsung S10. Ur video showed me a whole new world of using Bixby, some of ur points u pointed out on being hands free just brings me to a new level. Cooking or doing the dishes i alway have to stop what im doing to answer my phone now Bixby a game changer all i have to do is call on Bixby wow thank u very much my sista, love from ur brother and keep up the good work.
Hi I just subscribed to your channel. I don’t normally use Bixby coz the button it gets on the way as I use my Samsung Note 8 with a fully protected leather case. However now that I’ve seen your video & the things u demonstrated it can do + like u mention loads more things, I think I’m going to reactivate it & give it another go. So thanks for your video & peace.
That is the most in depth voice command product I've seen work yet. I think everyone is frustrated by it because like me they hit the Bixby side button on accident and figured it was just another speech to text just like a google or siri where it just was for internet searches. Mentioning it creates display settings, enters into apps and searches for content, takes pictures, stores and names folders, changes speaker output etc. are a string of commands that can all be assigned to just a single phrase is a whole phone integrated hardware feature that the competition simply doesnt have. Game changer.
Yes, very educational video hun so thank you! I really didn't like Bixby one bit and find it annoying whenever I press the button by accident on my Samsung Galaxy S8 + but now I won't feel so annoyed with it knowing what amazing handy things it can do!
I don't care how good anyone believes it to be. I'm pissed that it can't be DISABLED! I hate all of them and don't want it on any device of mine ALL TOGETHER!
I am so glad to see this video. I didn't know what Bixby was or did. I am excited to get home to set some stuff up. Perfect timing for my niece's bday party and vacation next week... I agree with the other viewers, your voice is very soothing. THANK YOU!
I know this is a few months old, but as far as the quick commands go, once you think of a QC, have Bixby go through all of those commands that you want to use, and then go to create that quick command, theres a spot on the top of the screen that says 'history' . From there you should be able to find and select all of your recently used commands, which is a lot easier than searching all of Bixby's commands.
I'm just seeing your video, thank you! the best Bixby video I seen yet! you have made me excited about Bixby again thank you! peace and blessings Queen 👑
Thank you so much for this Video. I have had my Note9 for 3 months and never really use Bixby but the Google Assistant is not useful enough for me. Listening to this, I see Bixby definitely is what I have been needing to utilize. Oh its ON now baby!!! Lololol!!!
Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. I was hearing a lot of negatives about this but I wasn't really sure what it was. I hate all digital assistants, it's not them, it's me, yes, it's personal. I don't want a phone with Siri, Bixby, Cortana, Google now, etc. They seriously creep me out. Can Bixby be uninstalled? I finally managed to get Cortana off my laptop but it took a visit to a techy friend to figure it out.
You can also have it do things for you depending on your location. As in , when you get to work it can turn your phone on silent . Or when you get to your car , it can automatically open up google maps an play Spotify. Or any combination you can think of really.
Stumbled onto this video & really liked it!! I wasn't too sure if I wanted to use the Bixby feature on my new S10e, but now I DEFINITELY DO!!! Even better, my husband watched this with me & he agrees with me & plans to start usin Bixby as well. Thank You So Very Much!!!
Nice video and Mac & Cheese is my favorite.. always home made though, not the Kraft stuff! OK, well maybe the Kraft Mac & Cheese sometimes. ;) So many people have jumped on the Bixby hate hype train.. it's nice to hear an alternate view.
Cause the button placement... you accidentally always hit the button... Samsung always mess up a phone cause of button placement. On a s10 plus I always thought buttons on it are too high.
Wow, I have had Samsung phones since my first smart phone, the Gaxaly2. I'm usually pretty up to date on everything I can do with my Samsung but I never bothered with Bixby at all, now I will be all over setting it up, thank you for this video!! Also this is the first I have ever seen of your videos and I love you! I have subscribed so I won't miss any more of your helpful videos, and I'm glad to see a woman doing this kinda thing for a change too. Everyone thinks men are the only techy people and are usually surprised that I love techy stuff!!! Keep being awesome!
Not an android user or especially a samsung fan, but enjoyed hearing this and got a fresh perspective of Bixby which all I hear is how crap it is. You cant really trust everyone’s opinion and have to remember they are just opinions.
All i want to know about Bixby is how to uninstall it and block it permanently. I don't want it nor do I want it use it. Hitting that stupid button on the side is a problem
I love reviews like this that are actually reviewed more than a few weeks to a few months other than just a first impression combined with a review and formulating a long-term opinion of it with that. You're one of the very very few people of Tech TH-camrs that I have watched who actually tested out Bixby and gave an honest opinion about it after using it for a somewhat extended period of time rather than those so-called reviews who would just shut down Bixby completely with their first impressions without giving it a try for awhile. Kudos to you!
I didn't think that Bixby was as bad as every reviewer made it seem. Of course it wasn't going to be as good as other assistants when it first dropped...it was brand new. I Love how Bixby can do a number of things with one simple command like you showed. I enjoy your videos. Thanx & please keep them coming.
Lol I will say Bixby jus doesn’t wanna roll off the tongue as smooth as what you would call upon for other assistants but despite that it still does a lot of things other voice assistants don’t do so I’ll deal lol
Thank you for informing me of all the benefits that Bixby can offer. I never knew what Bixby was for, but thanks to you I will give it a try. I have been a new subscriber for a week now! Your videos are very informative and useful. So keep up the good work that you have been doing.
I use Bixby quick commands to set the timer for Laundry because it doesn't work if I tell it to set the exact time I want. The issue with Bixby is it doesn't understand you and is low on AI compared to Google or Alexa. Apple may not give Siri the power to control everything, but for the things you need to access quickly by voice - Siri gets it done.
Just wanted to say "Thank You" for explaining the Bixby feature. So clear, concise and simply stated without all the tech talk. I really had no plans to use it, now I will, may be a valuable tool for me to use. You talked about "Mac n Cheese"; who doesn't love that. I have a suggestion to liven up that mac n cheese, for you. Mom made it this way, still my favorite....Recipe for my favorite...… Make the M n C as you normally would. But while waiting for the noodles to cook, chop up some SPAM, lightly cook it on a pan. Then cook some peas or corn, or both...Then add them to your mac n cheese. The SPAM alone gives it a great and unique flavor. By adding 1 or both veggies, it adds flavor, texture and nutrition.Give it a try, hope you enjoy it.Thanks for the video.
Just updated from a note3 to a note10+...and WOW you tips were so informative. I had no clue; I was still using google assistant parttime.LOL Bixby will be put to work. Thanks again. You have a new subscriber :)
U changed my view of Bixby. Hadn't planned on using it. Lol the ability to answer my phone on speaker is a feature that was on the s3.... many moons ago. Now it's back
I will admit, I haven't given Bixby a fair shake. Coming from Windows Phone 10 nearly 2 years ago, I've mostly used Cortana and Google Assistant, when I absolutely had to. One of the best things about Cortana was being able to receive calls or texts and having the ability to respond over Bluetooth using my voice, after Cortana asking what actions I wanted to take. If Bixby does this, it will be my new go to assistant. So, I will honestly give Bixby an honest try and see where it goes, especially with the new Pie update on my Note 8. Thanks for sharing your insight!
Idk what it is, but your voice is very soothing..

Scanning phone calls (inbound and outbound), collecting app info, reminders,- uh no no and no. I'll take the extra 5 secs to set my apps for bed. That's giving up a lot of privacy. Yikes. Did love the video though.
Every provider does that anyway.
@@jasonfrost5025 That's exactly why I want to limit who ELSE gets my info since most necessary apps & providers do. I don't want to sell my info to set an alarm or voice activate driving directions.
I have to say that I am impressed how android has become more reliable and smooth. I have been using my Note 8 on and off and messed with bixby for a spell.i found it to be very good. Learning g that it can go further in its capability from your video, I may switch back to it and try it out.
Thanks for a wonderful presentation on Bixby; This may get me to at least try to use Bixby to automate certain tasks. My problem with Bixby is apparent inability to decide not to have Bixby on my phone. One of the things that turned me away from Apple products is it seems Apple has more control over the device than the user does. I don't like the idea that I have to occasionally verify my Apple device by logging into the iCloud. I know why Apple does this; I just don't like that I am not give a CHOICE in the matter. If I buy a phone, I should be given a choice of security levels and apps on my phone or not without having to root the device.
My Note 9 was a replacement for my Note 3 which has become obsolete only due to the fact the Samsung has not released a more recent version of Android for the phone. Planned obsolescence is another pet peeve for another day. As for the Note 9, I am extremely happy with the phone so far. The battery life is great and I don't wake up to a dead phone if I forget to charge it. The wireless charging is also very nice. I am going to give Bixby a chance after this presentation.
BTW; the title of "Bixby - Why Do Some People Hate It?" followed by a tutorial on its benefits and usage is a brilliant marketing move. Attract the unknowing skeptics and convert them...
Bixby can also unlock your phone and do all type of stuff I love Bixby thanks
nateliontrueleo 404 find that scary for security standpoint
I would have to agree with all the positive comments that's been left here. Your instructions for Bixby were great. You're like an old friend sitting down beside you and helping you through it. So again thank you. You can be reassured that I'll be watching more of your videos.
Do you make videos on repairing vehicles? Lol. Just teasing! Have a great day. Don
Also hate the push notification "tap here to use your Samsung account" if I want to use it I know how to find it Samsung.
I didn’t know all the things you can do with it. Seems better than Siri 🤷🏽♀️
It’s not
Sure
Like most things, people talk bad about the things they can’t or refuse to understand. It’s easier for them. You do such great videos and this was another one. Hopefully someone who didn’t understand Bixby will actually try it instead of dismissing it. That Google Assistant/Bixby combo is really useful but you have to be willing and able to learn to use it. Keep up the amazing work. Hard to believe your videos still keep getting better.
Thank u. I appreciate the support!
I was having way too many issues with my Samsung 8 so I jumped into the LG V30. What I really miss is Samsung Pay. That is the best wallet app I ever had. No one talks about it.
Jeff Springer in the 10 things to do with galaxy s9 speaks highly of Samsung pass... I am about to install it.
Use Google wallet
I had the S7 and when i finally got the S9, i was very happy of course but soon I'd find out this Bixby button and i was thinking like wtf?! I don't want this... and actually felt less happy with my device because of it. But after a while, one day I was bored and tried out Bixby for the first time and I really liked it. I don't use it too often but every now and then it comes in handy in certain situations. And all the imaginable things you can do with it is just absolutely fantastic. Can't wait for the S10!!! Samsung Forever.
Nothing iz wrong with bixby these tec reviewer's just find any way to hate on samsung and they subcribes just jump on board
People hate it for one big reason : Not available in my language, that's all, they keep on promising the French but it goes on and on and on and still no French language despite the updates...
Bixby is definitely underrated and gets more hate than it deserves however after about a month, I realized I didn’t use it as much anymore. Great video and keep up the great work!
Great job its good to c a sista doing this. Im always on the fence of using Bixby bc ppl always putting Bixby down however i was going to try it out on my new Samsung S10. Ur video showed me a whole new world of using Bixby, some of ur points u pointed out on being hands free just brings me to a new level. Cooking or doing the dishes i alway have to stop what im doing to answer my phone now Bixby a game changer all i have to do is call on Bixby wow thank u very much my sista, love from ur brother and keep up the good work.
Hi I just subscribed to your channel. I don’t normally use Bixby coz the button it gets on the way as I use my Samsung Note 8 with a fully protected leather case. However now that I’ve seen your video & the things u demonstrated it can do + like u mention loads more things, I think I’m going to reactivate it & give it another go. So thanks for your video & peace.
"the button gets ON the way".
Lol. I see that like me you have trouble typing with a Samsung or should I say a Samsing!
That is the most in depth voice command product I've seen work yet. I think everyone is frustrated by it because like me they hit the Bixby side button on accident and figured it was just another speech to text just like a google or siri where it just was for internet searches. Mentioning it creates display settings, enters into apps and searches for content, takes pictures, stores and names folders, changes speaker output etc. are a string of commands that can all be assigned to just a single phrase is a whole phone integrated hardware feature that the competition simply doesnt have. Game changer.
Knowing is half the battle.. Thanks....I will be turning BIXBY BACK ON....
So refreshing to find a sister doing tech videos. Kudos
Sweet! Thanks for the details... didn't kno that Bixby could do do much! Got any more commands you have found helpful
My question is..how much is Bixby listening to, keeping up with, reporting to Samsung ...
Okay, Sis. You just made me reactivate Bixby. Had it disabled for over a year lol
New Subscriber
The Bixby button is so easy to push, it's made me hate the feature, and I vow never to use it.
Yes, very educational video hun so thank you! I really didn't like Bixby one bit and find it annoying whenever I press the button by accident on my Samsung Galaxy S8 + but now I won't feel so annoyed with it knowing what amazing handy things it can do!
Glad you enjoyed it. I had the same sentiments about it until I discovered these things and was blown away by all it could do.
You can also cut the button off so can't press it by accident
@@jeffersonagee7005 stupid people gives stupid ideas literally. I can see it
I don't care how good anyone believes it to be. I'm pissed that it can't be DISABLED! I hate all of them and don't want it on any device of mine ALL TOGETHER!
Notification GANG!!!! You cook or nah? 👀 😂
No lie. The “Goodnight” quick command was enough to make me appreciate Bixbi.
Right! I think these features of Bixby are a bit underrated but definitely useful and ummm I do cook lol occasionally haha
TechMe0ut it is now also out on google assistant! I hope you make a review about it soon
I am so glad to see this video. I didn't know what Bixby was or did. I am excited to get home to set some stuff up. Perfect timing for my niece's bday party and vacation next week... I agree with the other viewers, your voice is very soothing. THANK YOU!
Forget the Mac n cheese recipe! Lol this whole video was very informative I never found a use for that damn button but now I will use it tfs
I know this is a few months old, but as far as the quick commands go, once you think of a QC, have Bixby go through all of those commands that you want to use, and then go to create that quick command, theres a spot on the top of the screen that says 'history' . From there you should be able to find and select all of your recently used commands, which is a lot easier than searching all of Bixby's commands.
Ok the youtube feature is impressive
Right! I was blown away lol
Thanks for this! Just ordered a S10 and never heard of this. (Yeah, watching this on a S7, lol). BTW, your voice is soothing and beautiful.
I'm just seeing your video, thank you! the best Bixby video I seen yet! you have made me excited about Bixby again thank you! peace and blessings Queen 👑
Thank you so much for this Video. I have had my Note9 for 3 months and never really use Bixby but the Google Assistant is not useful enough for me. Listening to this, I see Bixby definitely is what I have been needing to utilize. Oh its ON now baby!!! Lololol!!!
I agree... In a year or two Bixby will be the best Assistant!!!
Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. I was hearing a lot of negatives about this but I wasn't really sure what it was. I hate all digital assistants, it's not them, it's me, yes, it's personal. I don't want a phone with Siri, Bixby, Cortana, Google now, etc. They seriously creep me out. Can Bixby be uninstalled? I finally managed to get Cortana off my laptop but it took a visit to a techy friend to figure it out.
I told Bixby to subscribe to your TH-cam account, TechMeOut.. It actually subscribed to you!
Wow! Now that is impressive. Bixby is truly setting standards
Too many people throw shade at Bixby, Bixby is acturally really cool thanks for presenting it so well. You have a lovely aura about you as well :-)
2:00 mark... 😂😂😂
Great video. Feel like Bixby does some things that both Google Assistant and Siri can learn from.
You can also have it do things for you depending on your location. As in , when you get to work it can turn your phone on silent . Or when you get to your car , it can automatically open up google maps an play Spotify. Or any combination you can think of really.
Thanks TechMeOut, I have a Note8 and Bixby is great!!
I have s9+ and bibxy is amazing
It's rare to find a reviewer who can make a great video without talking wayyy too fast. A+++
Waw bixby is really useful..
Thank you because I get so annoyed when I pull up Bixby by mistake I hate Bixby but now I will look into it and play with it
Nice ending music, good info as usual 💯
Used Bixby on the S8, S9 and now my S10... It has gotten much better and it's very useful
I don’t mind bixby, I mind the button. It was unnecessarily implemented.
Exactly, thank you! And when it came out, it was unprogrammable so you couldnt change it to another feature. Now there are ways to change the button.
The button are OK, if it easily toggle the flashlight on/off
Stumbled onto this video & really liked it!! I wasn't too sure if I wanted to use the Bixby feature on my new S10e, but now I DEFINITELY DO!!! Even better, my husband watched this with me & he agrees with me & plans to start usin Bixby as well. Thank You So Very Much!!!
Nice video and Mac & Cheese is my favorite.. always home made though, not the Kraft stuff!
OK, well maybe the Kraft Mac & Cheese sometimes. ;)
So many people have jumped on the Bixby hate hype train.. it's nice to hear an alternate view.
I disabled it. I hate that I can't delete it. I bought a phone I should have some say as to what is on my own phone
yeah Bixby is more advance
Cause the button placement... you accidentally always hit the button... Samsung always mess up a phone cause of button placement. On a s10 plus I always thought buttons on it are too high.
Why do pple compare everything to Siri. Siri is the worse AI compare to other competitors.
Thi Henry Because it's Apple. *throws up
@@-_--hp1ui apples are healthy yo. You need to eat apples!
Wow, I have had Samsung phones since my first smart phone, the Gaxaly2. I'm usually pretty up to date on everything I can do with my Samsung but I never bothered with Bixby at all, now I will be all over setting it up, thank you for this video!! Also this is the first I have ever seen of your videos and I love you! I have subscribed so I won't miss any more of your helpful videos, and I'm glad to see a woman doing this kinda thing for a change too. Everyone thinks men are the only techy people and are usually surprised that I love techy stuff!!! Keep being awesome!
Not an android user or especially a samsung fan, but enjoyed hearing this and got a fresh perspective of Bixby which all I hear is how crap it is. You cant really trust everyone’s opinion and have to remember they are just opinions.
So true. When I realized all Bixby could do I was amazed wondering why there wasn’t more attention placed on it.
All i want to know about Bixby is how to uninstall it and block it permanently. I don't want it nor do I want it use it. Hitting that stupid button on the side is a problem
It's happy to see you and your video. Nice work with bixby
Thank u!
You look more cute @ 2:00.
Ha ha ha. Anyway keep going. Never give up ✌️✌️✌️
I love reviews like this that are actually reviewed more than a few weeks to a few months other than just a first impression combined with a review and formulating a long-term opinion of it with that. You're one of the very very few people of Tech TH-camrs that I have watched who actually tested out Bixby and gave an honest opinion about it after using it for a somewhat extended period of time rather than those so-called reviews who would just shut down Bixby completely with their first impressions without giving it a try for awhile. Kudos to you!
Do tell...what do you cook?...hahaha .....
Lmao! 😂 let me find out I may have to show off a plate or two
I didn't think that Bixby was as bad as every reviewer made it seem. Of course it wasn't going to be as good as other assistants when it first dropped...it was brand new. I Love how Bixby can do a number of things with one simple command like you showed. I enjoy your videos. Thanx & please keep them coming.
I rather say "OK GOOGLE" instead.
Lol I will say Bixby jus doesn’t wanna roll off the tongue as smooth as what you would call upon for other assistants but despite that it still does a lot of things other voice assistants don’t do so I’ll deal lol
Thank you for informing me of all the benefits that Bixby can offer. I never knew what Bixby was for, but thanks to you I will give it a try. I have been a new subscriber for a week now! Your videos are very informative and useful. So keep up the good work that you have been doing.
I wish they would change its name, its not so easy on the palate to pronounce "bixby" if u understand what im getting at lol
jason35188 i programmed bixby to run a command when button is pressed. I programmed it to open Google Assistant.
I use Bixby quick commands to set the timer for Laundry because it doesn't work if I tell it to set the exact time I want.
The issue with Bixby is it doesn't understand you and is low on AI compared to Google or Alexa.
Apple may not give Siri the power to control everything, but for the things you need to access quickly by voice - Siri gets it done.
Hey ! What's the launcher you're using ? And the wallpaper ?
Great video as always! I have a note 8, so now I’m gonna check out bixby and give it a try.
I like the Wake up alarm Feature , it tells me the local weather for the day and reads googles news in the morning
Just wanted to say "Thank You" for explaining the Bixby feature. So clear, concise and simply stated without all the tech talk. I really had no plans to use it, now I will, may be a valuable tool for me to use. You talked about "Mac n Cheese"; who doesn't love that. I have a suggestion to liven up that mac n cheese, for you. Mom made it this way, still my favorite....Recipe for my favorite...… Make the M n C as you normally would. But while waiting for the noodles to cook, chop up some SPAM, lightly cook it on a pan. Then cook some peas or corn, or both...Then add them to your mac n cheese. The SPAM alone gives it a great and unique flavor. By adding 1 or both veggies, it adds flavor, texture and nutrition.Give it a try, hope you enjoy it.Thanks for the video.
Just updated from a note3 to a note10+...and WOW you tips were so informative. I had no clue; I was still using google assistant parttime.LOL Bixby will be put to work. Thanks again. You have a new subscriber :)
U changed my view of Bixby. Hadn't planned on using it. Lol the ability to answer my phone on speaker is a feature that was on the s3.... many moons ago. Now it's back
I will admit, I haven't given Bixby a fair shake. Coming from Windows Phone 10 nearly 2 years ago, I've mostly used Cortana and Google Assistant, when I absolutely had to. One of the best things about Cortana was being able to receive calls or texts and having the ability to respond over Bluetooth using my voice, after Cortana asking what actions I wanted to take. If Bixby does this, it will be my new go to assistant. So, I will honestly give Bixby an honest try and see where it goes, especially with the new Pie update on my Note 8.
Thanks for sharing your insight!
Nice video, I've always hated Siri and never gave Bixby a shot with my S7 but after this video I think Im going to set it up on my new Note9. Thanks
Girl! I've been spending like 10 hours researching what new phone to get and none of those tech nerds said anything tips on bigsby! Thanks😁
"Bixby"
Nice, well done. Where can I buy the phone holder you were using?
Bixby is so underrated yet it is brilliant. Well done for showing those tips. Loved the video.
Thanks so much for the advice and love
Is there a way to have a voice reminder .. whereas Bixby speaks out loud.?
I like Alexa
Alexa is the way ... thx 💐
