As Samsung mentioned before, Bixby – its recently unveiled new virtual assistant – is still a nascent platform that isn’t fully operational just yet. And with the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+’s official launch coming up on April 21, we have some bad news for those who were excited to try out Samsung’s Siri-wannabe.
In a statement made to The Verge, Samsung acknowledged that Bixby Voice won’t be available in time for the Galaxy S8’s launch in the US. However, some elements of Bixby like Bixby Vision, Home or Reminder will work on the first Galaxy S8 batches to arrive in the country.
During the Unpacked event in New York, Samsung made a point in highlighting that Bixby was designed to allow users to do all things they do with touch with voice commands, as well. So it’s quite amusing that Bixby’s most marketed feature won’t be available by the time the new phones start shipping.
Samsung didn’t give a reason for the delay, but it did say the feature should become available in the US “later this spring.”
Bixby is certainly one of the main selling points of the Galaxy S8 – which got a lot of customers excited for the product. The phone even comes with a dedicated button that launches the AI-driven assistant, but the absence of key Bixby features at launch might hamper customers’ enthusiasm for the phone.
While Google’s mobile paying service is primary used to make contactless payments, it can also be used to pay online or on websites that support the service.
For those whose bank app doesn’t support Android Pay just yet, there’s always the option of manually downloading Google’s official Android Pay app. But the good news is that 
While online retailers have been pretty slow to adopt Google’s mobile payment service, the search giant is doing everything in its power to change that. Back in October the Mountain View-based company announced 
Well remind you that the soon-to-be previous generation HTC One X9 arrived with a 5.5-inch display with 1080 x 1920 resolution and a 3,000 mAh battery. So maybe the 
And the Moto C Plus will obviously be bringing forth the better spec package. The phone should make it out with a 5-inch display with 1280 x 720 resolution and a quad-core MediaTek chipset onboard with either 1GB of RAM or 2GB of RAM (depending on market) and 16GB of internal storage (expandable via microSD card slot). The Moto C Plus will also take advantage of an 8MP/2MP camera combo, a 4,000 mAh battery and 4G LTE. It will be available in four colors including Gold, Black, Red and Silver.
Once you open up a chat, you’ll notice a new camera button on the lower right side. Tap on it to select shoot an image or a video, which can be further decorated with stickers. A little note will pop up to let you know the media has been shared.
And like in Snapchat, once viewed by the recipient, the photo or video will disappear into the void. The sender will also be notified whether the media file has been opened, viewed or if the friend has taken a screenshot. The disappearing message can only be viewed once.

Due to the fact that Game Tuner is currently available only on Samsung models and none of the Korean tech giant’s phones run Android 7.1 just yet, it can be speculated that the Galaxy S8 maker is currently in the process of testing the new build. Game Tuner’s changelong for the newest version even mentions the added 
All we told you so far is just pure speculation at this point, so don’t take it as a given. But since Android O is still months away form being released, it’s quite unlikely Samsung will keep Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ running on such an outdated build (Android 7.0 Nougat currently has 7 months). Google has released the 
The phone comes equipped with a 5.5-inch display with 1280 x 720-pixel resolution plus a Snapdragon 625 processor under the hood. There’s also 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage onboard, but luckily there’s a microSD card slot onboard for memory expansion up to 256GB.
However, in the same price-range you can get the
