Voice assistants have become more and more important for cell phones. It’s what made Siri trendy – though she wasn\u2019t the first, of course. Now, this feature is commonplace for nearly all devices. Why? Well, because Google has \u00a0<\/span>Google Assistant many smartphones already come with this default assistant.<\/span><\/p>\n

Though Siri and Assistant lead the market, there are other options. Here at Softonic, we\u2019ll focus on Google\u2019s operating system: <\/span>the three best voice assistants for Android. <\/b><\/p>\n

Android has both the good and the bad: it has a lot of updates, but in turn, this means its fragmentation is awful. Millions of Android devices have different versions, while for iOS, it\u2019s common for all devices to update to the latest version if possible. <\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s where Android\u2019s personalization comes into play, as well as Samsung’s. These Korean companies have a very dynamic operating system for their smartphones, and <\/span>one of their updates is Bixby<\/b><\/a>, Samsung\u2019s voice assistant. <\/span><\/p>\n

At the moment, Bixby is exclusive to Samsung Galaxy S8, S8+ and Note 8. However, it\u2019s expected to reach more Android devices in 2018, especially Samsung devices (which dominate the market). Don\u2019t lose hope: it\u2019s closer to a global launch\u00a0than you think.<\/p>\n
