The voice assistant created in Siri’s image never caught on<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Later this year Samsung will finally kill off its S Voice assistant, which never really caught up to Apple’s Siri. A note on Samsung’s<\/a> support page says S Voice will no longer be available from June 1, as first reported by SamMobile<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Samsung’s first attempt at a voice assistant, S Voice was introduced in 2012<\/a> in the Galaxy S III, but was buggy and slow. As 9to5 Google<\/em> notes<\/a>, S Voice could set reminders and make calls but wasn’t able to answer user questions in a conversational way, like Siri and Google Assistant are designed to do.<\/p>\n

Samsung essentially replaced S Voice with Bixby in phones starting with the Galaxy S8<\/a> (although Bixby itself hasn’t exactly impressed<\/a> reviewers<\/a> from The Verge <\/em>over its lifespan, either). A few of Samsung’s wearables still have S Voice; the Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Active have Bixby upgrades available and a similar upgrade will be provided to Gear S3 and Gear Sport after June 1, according to Samsung.<\/p>\n
