It's so crazy how far ahead google assistant is than every other assistant. I love google assistant because it just works for 99% of things you ask it to do. Plus, google's compatibility with smart home devices is just straight up insane. However bixby is pretty cool too and it even has more up it's sleeve that it can do that I don't even think assistant can do. Also I use bixby routines for a fuck ton of things, and it works flawlessly.
@@w8irure7iwjebdi2hhri4 i know lmao. thx for saying it tho for others to see and also if it would've been someone else who didn't know, they might've fallen for it :(
Voice contrôle is improving every time you are using it. As google is every where they probably have more data then other, it is also more smart by time now Contrary to other you can disable that personalisation or collect of data with Bixby
Bixby getting better though, everyone kept throwing hate when it launched but they have been catching up year over year. I still don't really ever find myself using it. Makes me wonder how much money these companies invest in these AI assistants.
@@highlights9175 Nearby share isn't made by Samsung though. It was made by Google, originally for the Pixel phones and is slowly being released to more devices. Windows support should be coming too.
Every year I like seeing Bixby improve. While Bixby isn’t as popular as Google Assistant or Siri, Samsung has been on the ball when it comes to improving Bixby. Bixby Routines is easily the best part of using a Samsung device.
I liked Google assistant but a couple of weeks ago switched to Bixby because it can do useful commands like answering a call and putting it on speaker when I say answer phone as well as reject a call or dismiss my timer/alarm. I'm glad that Samsung has improved it so much and look forward to them getting as good as Google assistant one day
@saurabh Sukhdeve I know it can answer calls but it only worked like 60% of the time for me and the fact that I can dismiss timers with Bixby made me keep it as an assistant.
The biggest downfall for Alexa is that it's a third party voice assistant. I think that's the reason why Alexa failed so miserably in device control because as a third party app, certain access/function is limited. If you think about it, google assistant, siri, and bixby are part of the system by default and therefore integrated better with the OS.
One of the reasons it failed, yes, but not the only one. Really want to see it fail, get stuck in a car that uses Alexa vs Google or Apple. Randomly painful.
@@nadavelkabets It should exist. No company should have free reign over a feature. And the only way to have that is to make the competitor viable. You know, the old "competition drives progress".

I like how all the companies aren't just giving up on their voice assistants knowing that it will take quite some effort to surpass google. All of them are improving and are able to do things they weren't able to in the past like the follow up questions.
Bixby being so good is the most surprising to me. They could just rely on Google Assistant for everything, since they basically have no presence in markets without Google Play services (China, Russia, etc), but have made an effort to constantly improve it.
As someone with a Samsung phone, I'm really pleased at Google amd Bixby's position in this. I'm not surprised Google won. As a search engine, they have been working on voice recognition and search tools since inception. I'm not a huge fan of Bixby because it seems pointless compared to Google assistant which also come preloaded on Samsung phones. However, Bixby routines is really good! I first started using it on my phone 2 years ago and even set some up on my mom's phone.
Bixby was fantastic at first, but I prefer Google Assistant because it's so much simpler and more adaptable. I have morning and night routines that include turning on my rgb lights, Philips bedside lights, any plugs and the fan, my PC if I've left it on. Also I've made a routine where I tell Google that I have work at a certain time, and it will set two alarms for me because I prefer having two alarms to wake me up :p I also have a smart switchboard, so I've set it to turn off my charging in 40 minutes because that's how long my phone takes to charge fully, and it also turns on half an hour before I wake up just in case it hasn't been fully charged. Just so I won't be charging it excessively. Really hand with this kind of customizations. It's also worked in many odd things too, which was surprising. Defo ahead of the game.
@iiicecold I have a powerboard that works with Google, wasn't too expensive, but only thing I had to do was change "device type" charging to "fan" outlet because google won't let you set timers for charging outlets due to electrical hazards.
9:00 I’m glad Siri got 2nd place, and I’m not even mad Google Assistant won, because I’ve tried it with a neutral unbiased approach, and it is actually quite decent.

@@Excelssio Nor does Bixby. You can if you want count SmartThings, but as it is a Samsung App, and it comes with some Galaxy devices, I wouldn't. And if I'm being honest, I am not sure if it really "needs" that app.
@@sinanqazzaz the doorbell works as seamless as the others just not with the specific doorbell he has Bixby doesn't have the seamless connection with any speaker like the rest do
TBH, the device control questions were never going to work with Alexa. It's essentially a 3rd party app and will not have the level of SDK support to be able to control any settings.
Actually, with my Xiaomi Miy 10T Pro, with built in Alexa Hands-free all of those commands work. And if you activate Follow Up Speech, if you ask where a place is, it also plans a Route via Google Maps if you ask for it.
Little (pedantic) things I realised. 0:39 Amazon Alexa didnt exactly get the question right. It took "69 42" as "6942". (Probably would've worked if you said something like 69 dollars and 42 cents) 1:25 Apple doesnt actually start the countdown to take the photo, but it does set the right time (Unless that was a coincident) Edit: Thats the night mode timer. 2:40 Google's humming to song is actually quite incredible, tried it before non-ironically because I didnt know the song but knew a tune from it. 5:16 Siri didnt play a song, just opened youtube. 6:31 Bixby failed to name the contact "New Dad", maybe a little pedantic.
@@Mrwhosetheboss That's very fair, it's incredible that AI is able to understand natural language to this extent already. Also, great video as usual Arun!
Correction to the 1:25 for the iPhone. It's not actually the timer, that number is the nightmode long exposure feature. The samsung and pixel were the only phones that did the task correctly. The iPhone just knew half of the phrase and turned the camera on.
@1:24 Hey Arun, one small correction: The iPhone didn't take a picture it only opened up the Camera App. I wouldn't have given it a point there. I even tried it on my Siri device also and it gave me the same result.
You better do an updated version of this, since this time Siri took a giant leap with Apple Intelligence and Google Assistant has been upgraded to the more advanced Gemini.
The often downplayed Bixby has one thing up its sleeve: not only it integrates with the system, including system apps, but by binding it with SmartThings, if you have a SmartThings hub, you can control smart home stuff made for Google Home and Alexa. And probably some more (Tuya, IFTTT, etc). Btw, I really think Microsoft should bring back Cortana, with integrations for other systems, and support for their own apps and services.
Cortana was without a doubt the best assistant when I had a windows phone back in 2014/15 she used to be capable of soo much more and her jokes were good my favourite thing was asking what's better mac or windows and she used to go 'I couldn't tell you, that would be like comparing windows to apples' yet all these cool special things were stripped when she was added to windows now she's boring and imo barely functional
We can always count on Arun for delivering information packed videos about technology while making them fun and entertaining to watch. Keep up the good work 👏🏻
7:12 The answers they gave to "can you cheer me up" were pretty wholesome. Google assistant: "We could play a game, I can tell you a joke, or we could just see what random fun comes our way." Siri: "I think someone should say something nice to you. Just say 'Siri, give me a complement'" Bixby: "Where do ghosts go on vacation? Lake Eerie👻!"
3:50 Anyone saying Passionfruit now just reminds me of the best smartphone brand ever. I wish we get a new product from them soon. Please Arun, I LOVED those "if mobile commercials were true" videos.
Bixby also has a Scroll comand, that Google assistant doesn't use (or it failed when I attempted) I used the Samsung Tablet in the kitchen to cook via recipe opened on it, and as my hands were greasy from mixing the food, Bixby allowed me to scroll the page a bit by just asking it to scroll. Also it doesn't jump excessively like a whole screen. I haven't tried to scroll up though.
Bixby actually has a smart speaker called "Galaxy Home Mini," but I am not sure if it was released globally, because I live in Korea and I literally got it for free when I bought S20 Ultra. It's basically similar smart speaker with others but this one has a built-in IR sensor so I could register some of the non-smart (non-IOT) devices such as some of the A/Cs or TVs and I could use the speaker and basically tell it to control it without using the actual remote. Pretty cool stuff.
also if you have a samsung, you have bixby and google, samsung is using 2 brands and makes it easier on yor wallet PSA: by a $300 samsung for fast double assistants and thats called a life hack
@@herrowin It's part of Google Assistant, so you have to enable that and then in the assistant settings you can create routines. It's all in the Google search app if you tap your profile picture and go to settings
The reason Alexa can't do half the things is because, It's not tied to OS like in case of Google and Android's , Bixby and Samsung, Siri and Apple, Alexa just acts like a normal app over the phone, so it doesn't always has the necessary permission and control over it's action compared to native assistant. A better way to compare AI's of smart assistant would be comparing smart speakers. 😇😇
That's what stood out to me in this video. I don't Voice AI to be lazy to change my wallpaper and search the internet. In my eyes, Alexa is least Skynet AI of them all.
Yep, that was a tad unfair. To do this properly, the tests should not include phone use for instance I use Alexa through my echo. In most other tests, Alexa wins. Like Alexa can do things that he did not test that the phones cannot do. So how is this a fair test? Alexa should have been missed out if testing phone assistants.
Losing Google Assistant to Siri has been the single most painful thing about switching to iPhone from Samsung. In response I use my voice assistant WAY less now than before. I know you can use Assistant on iOS, but you have to launch it first, which defeats the entire point of having a voice-activated assistant. Really hoping Apple can either stop being stingy about that (as they did with third party keyboards, etc.) or at least beef up Siri.
You might be able to get around that by creating a routine that Siri runs or telling Siri something like "Open Google Assistant"? I'm not sure, I've never used Google Assistant. Really out of my lane here.
@@JohnSmith-eq8xr and a lot of us use the voice assistant for so many different things including setting reminders, alarms, events, appointments, asking about people, places, things, birthdays, movie reviews (and the list is endless) during those times when you can't physically handle the phone. So yes, for many people The capability of the voice assistant is a big factor when choosing their next phone. Just like having a 200 MP camera or 8K video would be a must-have for others when choosing their next phone.
To be honest, I really thought that Bixby is going to be the looser in this challenge, but I'm very impressed by its performance! Props for this test, and doing it the most simple way!
and the best part is, if you have Bixby, you for sure also have Google Assistant. so if you get a Samsung device you get these 2 bundled and that is now unbeatable combo.
8:08 iPhones do have a feature called "Do not disturb while driving". You can set it manually, let it detect using speed, or by connecting via BlueTooth to a car. Whether you can detect it's on and start a Shortcut, I don't know though.
Being able to have both bixby and google on a samsung phone is the best digital VA experience for me. They complete eachother and there's no action the pair of them can't do.
7:34 I thought Bixby's version of this is quick commands that's different from Bixby routines. You can mix them both - say a word or phrase to activate strings of commands and series of routines. 7:41 my routine for places and times are working just fine. I don't use smart appliances though aha.. It just tells me I'm arriving at a place then changes the phone settings (volume levels, do not disturb, connects to WiFi etc) then it changes again when I leave the house or go to my dorm or when it's night and I'm staying in dorm, go somewhere else or go home. Having these assistants in our phones really helps a lot. The downside though is I'm becoming more reliant to it - it's quicker to ask than do the calculations myself.
I don't like the iPhone, but some questions siri would have answered like the screenshot and the distance measuring commands were incorrectly formulated, cause 'Apple's way' gave her different command set.
Bixby routines is one of the best features on samsung devices. I use it all the time. You can also install routines+ from good lock, it has some awsome features like touch macros
I was pretty amazed by how complex commands they understood... the only "issue" a had, was anlong the lines of the commands used. they should be able to adapt, for sure, but there still might be other commands the indiviual assistent understand... a buddy of mine has used "end call" with bixby with no problem. Its just a thought..... keep up the good work, i love your content :)
For “Detect when I’m in my car”, you can set up the Driving focus on iOS to turn on with CarPlay or when connecting to the car’s Bluetooth. Then you can make an automation in Shortcuts that runs when the Driving focus starts.
I am blown away by the results of Bixby! I have all but given up on it. Google assistant is so integrated in my daily life I don't know if I could train myself to switch. What a great video! Great job!
I love how versatile Google assistant is, only problem im having lately is it not activating sometimes when I say "hey google" since I do a lot of randomness during driving (take calls, do some research by asking Google questions hands-free, listen to Spotify and Audible). It's a bit aggravating thats for sure.
@@Cwlcymro I wonder if I should try doing that when hey Google doesn't work, simply cuz I hate when it doesn't work when I'm driving or more than arms reach away from the phone.
Great video!! Just one small point: At 0:40 Alexa's answer is wrong. It understood as 6942 and answered accordingly instead of 69.42. Alexa's ans is still the closest one when compared to GA, Siri, and Bixby.
At 5:23 it is important to note that Alexa is actually capable of playing things on Netflix, just not on your phone. I've got a Fire TV Stick and it works perfectly with my Echo Dot/app, even choosing the correct Netflix-Profile. That's generally something I missed throughout the video, Alexa is not designed to be your phone assistant, it is a smart home manager. It is designed to control other devices and not your phone, while all the other ones, especially Siri and Bixby, are better for that but not as good at controlling your home. This is mainly due to the insane amount of Amazon-made devices you can get which are obviously going to be compatible with Amazon. One could argue that Google, Apple and Samsung also offer tvs and stuff but their price cannot be compared to a 40$ Fire TV Stick or a 30$ RGB lamp. This is also the main flaw that Siri has: While it works perfectly fine with Apple's devices, it is not very compatible with other ones. That is the default Apple problem as they always want to keep users in their bubble to motivate them to buy more Apple stuff. To be fair, the same thing kinda goes for Bixby, still it is made for Android and thereby more compatible by default. Compatibilty aside, I think you should'nt have included Alexa or at least pointed out that it is a different type of assistant: The Alexa app has to be seen as an Echo Dot as it has the same system. On an Echo Dot, there is no dark mode etc. To be fair again, I will have to say that on an Alexa Show, which has a display, you can watch Netflix by voice command which also confuses me about the missing ability to do so on the phone (as Alexa seems to be capable of doing so). I think this might be due to the developers being more comfortable with their own system (Echo Show) than with Android but this is no excuse as all the other assistants manage to do so.
@@Maklowskyy I know but I think in times of Tik Tok we should embrace a more extensive comment culture on TH-cam. Works fine with dashcam videos or other sensitive topics but I guess I am wrong here :)
@@Maklowskyy I just said so because I don't think that a Mrwhosetheboss video is the right place to try to start a discussion as I think people mainly watch his videos for entertainment purposes. And that isn't something bad yk
I feel that bixbi is better with controlling things on the device- oookthing through photo gallery, changing settings, things like that. Google is better with continued conversations and internet questions.

Catch up..? not so long ago it was the only one capable of interacting directly with the hardware's configuration.
TBH, the device control questions were never going to work with Alexa. It's essentially a 3rd party app and will not have the level of SDK support to be able to control any settings.
Actually, with my Xiaomi Miy 10T Pro, with built in Alexa Hands-free all of those commands work. And if you activate Follow Up Speech, if you ask where a place is, it also plans a Route via Google Maps if you ask for it.
0:56 pause exactly in this timestamp
Did it
“pun definitely intended”
5:10 "Can you give me the directions" bixby was already on them...
Little (pedantic) things I realised.
0:39
Amazon Alexa didnt exactly get the question right. It took "69 42" as "6942". (Probably would've worked if you said something like 69 dollars and 42 cents)
1:25
Apple doesnt actually start the countdown to take the photo, but it does set the right time (Unless that was a coincident) Edit: Thats the night mode timer.
2:40
Google's humming to song is actually quite incredible, tried it before non-ironically because I didnt know the song but knew a tune from it.
5:16
Siri didnt play a song, just opened youtube.
6:31
Bixby failed to name the contact "New Dad", maybe a little pedantic.
Yeah, there were lots of little things like this where we had to decide whether it was worth a point or not, even if not exactly right
@@Mrwhosetheboss That's very fair, it's incredible that AI is able to understand natural language to this extent already.
Also, great video as usual Arun!
Correction to the 1:25 for the iPhone. It's not actually the timer, that number is the nightmode long exposure feature. The samsung and pixel were the only phones that did the task correctly. The iPhone just knew half of the phrase and turned the camera on.
wow hey arun!
Siri opened apple tv instead of netflix when he asked her to play stranger things
The fact that Bixby was very close to siri is amazing most people slam bixby but its come along way and the routine function beats Google hangs down
4:31 "How much control each one of these assistants can exert over third-party apps"
**Proceeds to open the App Store**
@1:24
Hey Arun, one small correction: The iPhone didn't take a picture it only opened up the Camera App. I wouldn't have given it a point there. I even tried it on my Siri device also and it gave me the same result.
2:37 he always finds a way to Rick roll us😂😂

You better do an updated version of this, since this time Siri took a giant leap with Apple Intelligence and Google Assistant has been upgraded to the more advanced Gemini.
The often downplayed Bixby has one thing up its sleeve: not only it integrates with the system, including system apps, but by binding it with SmartThings, if you have a SmartThings hub, you can control smart home stuff made for Google Home and Alexa. And probably some more (Tuya, IFTTT, etc).
Btw, I really think Microsoft should bring back Cortana, with integrations for other systems, and support for their own apps and services.
Microsoft gave up immediately bixby persisted
cortana had some pretty cool use on windows and xbox, was sad to see support go so fast
You can actually control stuff within the Smart Things app with google assistant too
Cortana was without a doubt the best assistant when I had a windows phone back in 2014/15 she used to be capable of soo much more and her jokes were good my favourite thing was asking what's better mac or windows and she used to go 'I couldn't tell you, that would be like comparing windows to apples' yet all these cool special things were stripped when she was added to windows now she's boring and imo barely functional
Reality is we don't need 🍎 now after the incoming of affordable android OEMs until some people need it to show off
2:30 Bro he really rickrolled his phones 💀💀
the fact that he speaks spanish and then says "you can probably blame my french for that"
@SilaenNase totally lmao
The funniest part is he didn't even say it right, all of them were following right until he messed up

We can always count on Arun for delivering information packed videos about technology while making them fun and entertaining to watch. Keep up the good work 👏🏻
7:28
Hey bixby should get a point, when you told "forget everything" it said "I think I missed something" Showing that it forgot everything 🤪
Redo this with the new Apple Intelligence
Bixby had passed the translation test....at 6:09...it was asking for which language to translate it to
I think the goals was to use language detection, to not have to touch the phone, so no it didn't pass the test
Bixby was aski for which language to translate it to....if you would have said English....then it would have spoken out its translation
@@shreybansalright
Apparently bixby isn’t as bad as tech youtubers made it seem to be.
yep
Because it was bad back in the day, nowdays it is so much better.
@@Luca-bx4fx but no smart speaker though, so it's automatically out of the game for me.
Yes I have seen it improving and also the Samsung notes improved drastically! I don't use any other third party app for notes now!
@@PvtAnonymous It works with any SmartThings device which is not limited to Samsung devices so you can use a third-party SmartThings speaker.
This new Voice assistant battle format is just awesome. Arun is really putting in the work! Amazing
7:12 The answers they gave to "can you cheer me up" were pretty wholesome.
Google assistant: "We could play a game, I can tell you a joke, or we could just see what random fun comes our way."
Siri: "I think someone should say something nice to you. Just say 'Siri, give me a complement'"
Bixby: "Where do ghosts go on vacation? Lake Eerie👻!"
these type of videos actually helps developers to improve their systems . great job!
It's mostly AI so it has to learn
6:46 gave Bixby a panic attack 🤣🤣
3:50 Anyone saying Passionfruit now just reminds me of the best smartphone brand ever. I wish we get a new product from them soon. Please Arun, I LOVED those "if mobile commercials were true" videos.
Human: “How many steps or miles did I run today?”
Alexa: “Ok, sending missiles to Iran today!”
💀💀💀💀💀💀
😂😂this comment is underrated
This is extra funny because I live there 🤣🤣
5:22 arun spitting facts
Bixby also has a Scroll comand, that Google assistant doesn't use (or it failed when I attempted) I used the Samsung Tablet in the kitchen to cook via recipe opened on it, and as my hands were greasy from mixing the food, Bixby allowed me to scroll the page a bit by just asking it to scroll. Also it doesn't jump excessively like a whole screen. I haven't tried to scroll up though.
You can scroll with google assistent but only with the extra voice access app.
Oh thanks, I don't know Bixby can that ! This is practical when I cook and read recipe
Bixby actually has a smart speaker called "Galaxy Home Mini," but I am not sure if it was released globally, because I live in Korea and I literally got it for free when I bought S20 Ultra. It's basically similar smart speaker with others but this one has a built-in IR sensor so I could register some of the non-smart (non-IOT) devices such as some of the A/Cs or TVs and I could use the speaker and basically tell it to control it without using the actual remote. Pretty cool stuff.
Lucky you
Yeah SK only sadly
My favourite routine is when I ask "where are you?" It turns up the volume to max and announces "im over here".
Use it every day
also if you have a samsung, you have bixby and google, samsung is using 2 brands and makes it easier on yor wallet
PSA: by a $300 samsung for fast double assistants and thats called a life hack
genius
How do I set that up
@@herrowin It's part of Google Assistant, so you have to enable that and then in the assistant settings you can create routines. It's all in the Google search app if you tap your profile picture and go to settings
The reason Alexa can't do half the things is because, It's not tied to OS like in case of Google and Android's , Bixby and Samsung, Siri and Apple, Alexa just acts like a normal app over the phone, so it doesn't always has the necessary permission and control over it's action compared to native assistant.
A better way to compare AI's of smart assistant would be comparing smart speakers. 😇😇
Indeed! And Alexa will beat the others by a big margin! Also, Alexa is the most natural one, closely followed by Google!
That's what stood out to me in this video. I don't Voice AI to be lazy to change my wallpaper and search the internet.
In my eyes, Alexa is least Skynet AI of them all.
Yep, that was a tad unfair. To do this properly, the tests should not include phone use for instance I use Alexa through my echo. In most other tests, Alexa wins. Like Alexa can do things that he did not test that the phones cannot do. So how is this a fair test? Alexa should have been missed out if testing phone assistants.
Alexa is the best if you want a smart home that’s what it is good at
Losing Google Assistant to Siri has been the single most painful thing about switching to iPhone from Samsung. In response I use my voice assistant WAY less now than before. I know you can use Assistant on iOS, but you have to launch it first, which defeats the entire point of having a voice-activated assistant.
Really hoping Apple can either stop being stingy about that (as they did with third party keyboards, etc.) or at least beef up Siri.
You might be able to get around that by creating a routine that Siri runs or telling Siri something like "Open Google Assistant"? I'm not sure, I've never used Google Assistant. Really out of my lane here.
That's so funny that my $200 Android phone is smarter than many other ultra performance phones :D
@@denischiosa4496 yea but like not all of us bought our phones just to talk to them
@@JohnSmith-eq8xr doesnt change the fact that google assistant is better than siri
@@JohnSmith-eq8xr and a lot of us use the voice assistant for so many different things including setting reminders, alarms, events, appointments, asking about people, places, things, birthdays, movie reviews (and the list is endless) during those times when you can't physically handle the phone.
So yes, for many people The capability of the voice assistant is a big factor when choosing their next phone.
Just like having a 200 MP camera or 8K video would be a must-have for others when choosing their next phone.
To be honest, I really thought that Bixby is going to be the looser in this challenge, but I'm very impressed by its performance! Props for this test, and doing it the most simple way!
this is my first ever Mrwhosetheboss video that I seen... loved it
and the best part is, if you have Bixby, you for sure also have Google Assistant.
so if you get a Samsung device you get these 2 bundled and that is now unbeatable combo.
and bixby routines 🔥
I love that Google Assistant remembers the topic, so you can always ask additional questions without repeating all details.
8:08 iPhones do have a feature called "Do not disturb while driving". You can set it manually, let it detect using speed, or by connecting via BlueTooth to a car. Whether you can detect it's on and start a Shortcut, I don't know though.
yes, you can create an automation that detects if it is turned on
yeah, he doesn’t give the point though
The Bixby one called a fandom😮
Unbelievable this man and his team can short this incredible comparison video in a less than 10 minutes 😄
5:22 Yet to see anyone comment about this 👀
It’s facts tbh. The people on Tiktok ruined it.
Hate to say it( just kidding)
Being able to have both bixby and google on a samsung phone is the best digital VA experience for me. They complete eachother and there's no action the pair of them can't do.
I'm not surprised at all that Google assistant won🤷🏻♀️ but Bixby's score blew my mind! Bixby almost bet Siri.. There was a lot of improvement. ❤
7:34 I thought Bixby's version of this is quick commands that's different from Bixby routines. You can mix them both - say a word or phrase to activate strings of commands and series of routines.
7:41 my routine for places and times are working just fine. I don't use smart appliances though aha.. It just tells me I'm arriving at a place then changes the phone settings (volume levels, do not disturb, connects to WiFi etc) then it changes again when I leave the house or go to my dorm or when it's night and I'm staying in dorm, go somewhere else or go home.
Having these assistants in our phones really helps a lot. The downside though is I'm becoming more reliant to it - it's quicker to ask than do the calculations myself.
The Google assistant just destroyed all the others lmao 😂
Just a minor error 7:09 Google Assistant and Bixby both called him 'Boss Man Instead' while siri got it right and called him 'Boss man'
Nice observation
I don't like the iPhone, but some questions siri would have answered like the screenshot and the distance measuring commands were incorrectly formulated, cause 'Apple's way' gave her different command set.
The dedication you have to put out this content is amazing. Keep it up Arun
5:50 siri be like: what do i do
bill gates: ur Supposed to be BETTER THAN SAMSUNG
siri: AAAA
We need newer version of this
I've always used Google, but since getting my s22 Ultra I'll try out Bixby. The routine function intrigues me. Great video ;)
Bixby routines is one of the best features on samsung devices. I use it all the time. You can also install routines+ from good lock, it has some awsome features like touch macros
Ya I have used Bixby and can ensure you that it can handle most of the normal activities really well!
5:56 He just wanted to tell us he had a Girlfriend 😂
I was pretty amazed by how complex commands they understood... the only "issue" a had, was anlong the lines of the commands used. they should be able to adapt, for sure, but there still might be other commands the indiviual assistent understand... a buddy of mine has used "end call" with bixby with no problem.
Its just a thought..... keep up the good work, i love your content :)
Hello 👋 Greeting from canada
I agree, I think it might be the wording he used. End call or Chang up may have worked.
6:28 "Create a new contact New Dad" 💀💀
Arun is the most enjoyable, funny casual tech channel ever i seen in youtube!!!
8:22 that would have made such a good segway for Morning Brew... 😂
For “Detect when I’m in my car”, you can set up the Driving focus on iOS to turn on with CarPlay or when connecting to the car’s Bluetooth. Then you can make an automation in Shortcuts that runs when the Driving focus starts.
As a Samsung user, I was cheering Bixby on the whole time
"Good job sweetie, you held up well!"
8:56 - this deserves extra points! Man this is literally so cool. Analysing you so well is ridiculous! 🙄✌️🔥⚡️
I am blown away by the results of Bixby! I have all but given up on it. Google assistant is so integrated in my daily life I don't know if I could train myself to switch. What a great video! Great job!
You can use both. Google assistant for internet based commands, Bixby for on-device commands and routines
A professional video as always, well done, most informative.
2:43 props to siri and bixby for at least clearly making an attempt.
I love how versatile Google assistant is, only problem im having lately is it not activating sometimes when I say "hey google" since I do a lot of randomness during driving (take calls, do some research by asking Google questions hands-free, listen to Spotify and Audible). It's a bit aggravating thats for sure.
I've noticed that too
The reason i turned it off is because it kept turning on by itself and it got really annoying
I find it hears "OK Google" a lot more consistently than "Hey Google" (probably because OK is a harsher sound so easier to detect)
@@Cwlcymro I wonder if I should try doing that when hey Google doesn't work, simply cuz I hate when it doesn't work when I'm driving or more than arms reach away from the phone.
Say "Ok Google" instead.
Bixby is improving rapidly the routine section shows how powerful it is
Imagine if Arun developed his own assistant.The "Mrwhoseyourassistant"😂.But really Arun's voice in a assistant would be great.
Dude has one of the smoothest voices on the internet. In his early videos, he sounded just like James Mason. He'd be an incredible voice-over guy.
Siri who lost:
Apple Intelligence: Am I a joke to you?
Great video!! Just one small point:
At 0:40 Alexa's answer is wrong. It understood as 6942 and answered accordingly instead of 69.42. Alexa's ans is still the closest one when compared to GA, Siri, and Bixby.
I saw many wrong answers. This test is not reliable
I think UK uses commas instead of dots between numbers.
Nerd
@@debornmc we use dots not commas :( it defo understood wrong
Bixby really did great ngl. Last time was meh but this year it has improved! Great video Arun!
This is why Google Assistant and siri are so popular. It's popular because of its good accuracy.
Yeah, they are the best major virtual assistants
Really, Siri? Siri can be campared to bixby not Google assistant. It's just a level above siri.
Imagine saying "siri hang up the phone" while on a phone call💀

At 5:23 it is important to note that Alexa is actually capable of playing things on Netflix, just not on your phone. I've got a Fire TV Stick and it works perfectly with my Echo Dot/app, even choosing the correct Netflix-Profile. That's generally something I missed throughout the video, Alexa is not designed to be your phone assistant, it is a smart home manager. It is designed to control other devices and not your phone, while all the other ones, especially Siri and Bixby, are better for that but not as good at controlling your home. This is mainly due to the insane amount of Amazon-made devices you can get which are obviously going to be compatible with Amazon. One could argue that Google, Apple and Samsung also offer tvs and stuff but their price cannot be compared to a 40$ Fire TV Stick or a 30$ RGB lamp.
This is also the main flaw that Siri has: While it works perfectly fine with Apple's devices, it is not very compatible with other ones. That is the default Apple problem as they always want to keep users in their bubble to motivate them to buy more Apple stuff. To be fair, the same thing kinda goes for Bixby, still it is made for Android and thereby more compatible by default.
Compatibilty aside, I think you should'nt have included Alexa or at least pointed out that it is a different type of assistant: The Alexa app has to be seen as an Echo Dot as it has the same system. On an Echo Dot, there is no dark mode etc. To be fair again, I will have to say that on an Alexa Show, which has a display, you can watch Netflix by voice command which also confuses me about the missing ability to do so on the phone (as Alexa seems to be capable of doing so). I think this might be due to the developers being more comfortable with their own system (Echo Show) than with Android but this is no excuse as all the other assistants manage to do so.
That's a long message
Nobody's gonna read that bro, sorry.
