Siri has a new competitor!
This newsletter was brought to you byAuth0Siri has a new competitor!
Samsung just showed the world what the future of smartphones will look like. The Galaxy S8 has no physical home button, headphone jack tech, and a stunning new infinity display that stretches edge to edge.
The Galaxy S8 also includes advanced selfie technology for unlocking your phone (i.e. an iris scanner), a fingerprint scanner on the back, a software-based home button under the screen, and a dedicated side button for Bixby — Samsung's new Siri competitor.
Bixby is better than Siri. It understands context, so you can say "capture this" to take a screenshot, or ask it to show you all your photos taken in London. It also uses Pinterest's visual search to recognize objects around you. Simply point your camera at a nearby monument or restaurant to learn more.
For iPhone users this means one of two things: 1) Time to switch to Android, or 2) The next iPhone will look radically different than what it is today (and likely similar to what Samsung showed at their event).
