Cheyer co-founded Viv Labs, which provided the foundation for Bixby. The rumors were bolstered when Voicebot reported that Adam Cheyer had left Samsung. Reports that Bixby was on the verge of execution emerged last month during rumors of a deal between Google and Samsung to promote Google Assistant on Samsung devices, possibly eliminating Bixby.
On non-Bixby devices, other voice assistants can be awakened by customizing what a long press or up to three taps on the earbuds does.īixby’s centrality to the new hearables suggests the voice assistant is not on the point of vanishing. Otherwise, “Hi Bixby” can be a hands-free wake word as the Apple AirPods, Google Pixel Buds 2, and Amazon Echo Buds do with their respective voice assistants. Wearers can turn on Bixby Voice, which skips the wake word and allows users to simply state their request or question without any preamble, as illustrated above. While the Galaxy Buds Live can connect to any Android or iOS smartphone, it’s only on Samsung devices that they reach their full potential. One former user told Voicebot she had to return her earbuds because it wasn’t possible to make them small enough to fit into her ears, for instance. They include a couple of options to change their size but may not fit every ear comfortably. The Galaxy Buds Live nestle in the ear in a deeper fit than Apple AirPods, but without the protrusion of AirPods Pro and other designs. The bean-shaped hearables arrive just six months after the Galaxy Buds+ debuted, highlighting how competitive the market is becoming and serving as an upgraded alternative for fans of Samsung smartphones, the first with hands-free Bixby activation. Samsung’s new Galaxy Buds Live earbuds bring a unique shape and a focus on devices with the Bixby voice assistant.
