Features

Bixby comes with three parts, known as Bixby Voice, Bixby Vision and Bixby Home.[15] With Bixby Voice, the user can trigger to Bixby by simply calling it or pressing and holding on the button allocated below the volume rocker.[16]

Bixby Vision is built-in into the camera app and can "see" what one can see as it is essentially an augmented reality camera that can identify objects in real time and then search for them on various services and purchase them. Bixby can also translate text, read QR codes and recognize landmarks.[17]

Bixby Home can be found by swiping to the right from the home screen. It is a vertically scrolling list of a bunch of information that Bixby can interact with. One could find stuff like weather, fitness activity, buttons for controlling their smart home gadgets, and more.[18]
