According to Samsung’s key executive, Samsung’s much-awaited foldable smartphone will ship with Bixby 3.0. It is known that Samsung’s Bixby Developer Day is underway in South Korea which has Samsung’s Vice President Eui-Suk Chung scheduled to speak as well.
He leads the research and development of software and Bixby at Samsung’s mobile business. He’s the one responsible for Bixby’s development. The Samsung Developer Conference 2018 was where Samsung unveiled much of what it’s showcasing today at the Developer day in South Korea. The Bixby Developer Studio and the Bixby Marketplace are the most noteworthy announcements. Furthermore, Samsung is now allowing third-party developers to create features for its virtual assistant.
Eui-Suk Chung also mentioned that Samsung is preparing to ship the next iteration of Bixby with the foldable smartphone. “The new Bixby currently in the pipeline will be featured in the foldable smartphone,” however, the company hasn’t revealed if it will be branded as Bixby 3.0. He didn’t provide a lot of details about the next generation of Bixby, only that it will be an upgraded platform with more capabilities. Samsung rolled out Bixby 2.0 with the Galaxy Note 9 earlier this year.
To remind you, Samsung has provided the glimpse of its foldable display at the SDC 2018 earlier this month. It is yet to show off the actual device. Consequently, reports suggest that we might get to see the foldable smartphone in March next year at the MWC 2019.
