But, Bixby Voice will appear in the device which is said to be made available in the US this spring. Bixby was launched last month with few features like image recognition and location awareness. It made use of voice commands, unlike other competitors in the market. One can access it directly with the help of a single button dedicated for this purpose.

It even integrated a camera function within it which allows the users to recognize prominent buildings, tourist destinations, and other famous places easily. One just has to click a picture and this AI backed assistant will find all relevant information about the places and present it to the user.
