Ahead of its Galaxy S26 Unpacked event, Samsung has announced an upgraded version of Bixby AI voice assistant. Currently available in beta via One UI 8.5, Bixby can now understand natural language, adjust device settings, and fetch answers directly from the web.
In some cases, Bixby will also be able to execute the action. If a user says they don’t want the screen to time out while they are looking at it, the assistant will immediately enable the Keep Screen on While Viewing setting. The other big upgrade is its ability to fetch answers from the web. This takes Bixby closer to AI chatbots like Gemini and ChatGPT. People could ask the updated assistant questions about a topic and receive responses in a single chat thread, without being redirected to a browser. What is your experience with Bixby ?
