This app lets you remap the Bixby button on the Galaxy Note 9

You might be in love with your new Samsung Galaxy Note 9, but there's something you'll surely want to change about the phone. Yes, the Bixby button. As useful it could be, it's still annoying that you can't remap the button to any other app. And with the launch of Bixby 2.0 on the Galaxy Note 9, the button cannot be disabled.

Well, not exactly. A new app on the Google Play Store, bxActions, has been updated to let users remap the Bixby button on the Galaxy Note 9. This also unlocks 30 new actions that can be performed with the remapped button, including Google Assistant.

The new Bixby 2.0 doesn't allow all features of the app to work on the Galaxy Note 9, as they did with the first generation of Bixby. With the bxActions app, users can set the button to launch any app, take screenshots, and if you have the first gen Bixby on your phone, you can actually use the app to disable the Bixby button. You can also set additional shortcuts that are activated with a double press and long press of the Bixby button.

Speaking of the Galaxy Note 9, luxury phone brand Caviar launched the Fine Gold Edition of the phone.

The new gold edition has been priced at $3.87 million rubles (~$57,470). While the 512GB will be selling for an extra 20,000 rubles (~$298). Also, the gold rear panel means the device might not support wireless charging.
