Samsung Rolls Out Bixby Voice Preview, For Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+



Droid Life posted earlier today the Bixby Voice preview was live to those who had signed up for the Early Access Program last week.

Sure enough, Bixby Voice Preview appeared in the settings after updating a few apps through the Galaxy Apps Store, as Droid Life originally reported. I went through the setup process and all seems to be working well after setting up Bixby Voice wake-up.

If you've signed up for the Bixby Voice Preview, let us know what you think so far. Is Bixby a compelling alternative to Google's new assistant?

Samsung's Galaxy S8 And S8 Plus' Separate App Sound, How It Works



Samsung's Galaxy S8 and Samsung Galaxy S8+ will also have a Bluetooth Dual audio feature dubbed "Separate app sounds". This allows the phone to stream audio to two Bluetooth headsets or speakers simultaneously while still allowing the user to independently control each device. Bluetooth 5.0 is twice as fast as the current standard (Bluetooth 4.2), and it offers four times the range. 

That means it can connect to compatible tech like smartwatches or smart home devices that are up to 240 meters (800 feet) away. Bluetooth 5.0 is expected to further advance the internet of things (IoT) experience, and Samsung’s Galaxy S8 and Samsung Galaxy S8+ is the first phone to offer this feature.

Samsung Galaxy S8 And S8+ Home Button Moves, To Prevent Screen Burn-In



It seems Samsung has taken the same route with the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+, though not with the entire display. The new on-screen home button shifts around a little bit to prevent burn-in. 
The new on screen home button shifts around a little bit to prevent burn-in. Though the home button is always at the bottom when in portrait you would see it in fullscreen or landscape apps if it burned into the screen, so this is a great move on Samsung’s part.
