Future Samsung smartphones could prioritize Google Assistant instead of Bixby

Based on a statement by Bloomberg, it seems that Google currently in talks with Samsung in order to have Samsung smartphones prioritize Google Assistant and the Play Store over Bixby and Samsung’s equivalence of the Play Store. With that said, there could be a possibility that future Samsung smartphones with dedicated Bixby button could allow users to remap the button to Google Assistant.

However, there’s no official information on when will this feature be implemented, as well as which region will be affected by it. Not only that, but Samsung has yet to release an official statement on whether they will comply with Google’s request because even though the Android operating system is owned by Google, there are no restrictions on third-party manufacturers implementing their own features.

With all that said, what are your thoughts on Samsung potentially allowing users to prioritize Google Assistant over Bixby? Let us know on our Facebook page and for more updates like this, stay tuned to TechNave.com.
