Yeah Google not allowing 3rd party apps to be used as the voice assistant is 100% reason enough to release as hardware. I don't want to unlock my phone and type and click buttons just to ask about a task I'm working on.
- dagmx 2y agoHow does Bixby work then? My point being, they’re already releasing an Android device with cellular. Why not make it a bespoke Android phone and/or partner with someone like One Plus to be a differentiator? The number of people who’d carry two devices around is vanishingly small when the use cases all can happen on their phone anyway.
