Samsung to terminate voice assistant S Voice in June

Samsung to terminate voice assistant S Voice in June

Voice assistants have been around for a long time, but not all voice assistants can "survive".

Samsung's S Voice is the company's first attempt with competitors such as Google Now and Siri, which has not been successful. Now, Samsung finally announced that it will terminate the S Voice service in June.

SamMobile said that Samsung plans to terminate all devices that still use S Voice on June 1, 2020. This decision will not affect the vast majority of Samsung's users, as Samsung's Bixby has replaced S Voice in recent years.

For now, the only product that uses S Voice extensively is some of Samsung's smart watches.

The Smart Watch Gear S3 and Gear Sport for Android users have always used S Voice.

Fortunately, these watches will be updated to provide Bixby support.

Other Samsung smart devices still using S Voice include:

Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9

Galaxy Note FE

Galaxy Note 2, 3, 4, 5

Galaxy S3, 4, S5, S6, S6 Edge

Galaxy Note Pro 12.2

Galaxy W

Galaxy Tab 4

Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 / 10.1

Galaxy Tab S8.4 and S10.5

It should be noted that these devices will not be updated to support Bixby.

S Voice only has some voice assistant functions. For example, it can make phone calls or set reminders, but it cannot answer inquiries in a conversation. Since the Galaxy S8 debuted, no Samsung products have been equipped with S Voice.
