Why was Bixby discontinued?

Should Samsung get rid of Bixby? – Source: Android Central (Image credit: Source: Android Central) Schenck writes that Samsung’s biggest failure with Bixby “isn’t that it’s less polished than Assistant or less capable of helping us, but that Samsung’s made it so aggressively present.” He notes how the software inserts itself everywhere to the user when you’re using a Samsung device.

“It feels almost obvious at this point that the company must realize we all prefer Assistant, and the steadfast nature with which Samsung keeps Bixby upon us comes across less like self-promotion and more like self-delusion with each subsequent generation of devices,” he writes. And while Ubrani and Sag agree that Bixby isn’t good and go as far as to say that perhaps Samsung should get rid of it, Mishaal Rahman, senior technical editor at Esper and former editor-in-chief of XDA Developers, thinks even though Bixby isn’t good Samsung should actually keep the service.

Samsung’s own suite of services gives the company leverage over Google in licensing negotiations. “Google’s lead over Samsung is not insurmountable in every area. It would be a fool’s errand for Samsung to pursue its own search engine, but Google isn’t guaranteed its dominance in virtual assistant or input methods.

In fact, Google has already been successfully challenged in both areas by Amazon Alexa and Microsoft’s SwiftKey respectively,” he says. Rahman adds that Samsung’s maintenance of its own suite of applications also gives the company “leverage over Google in licensing negotiations.” In mid-2021, 36 U.S.

attorneys general revealed how Google felt threatened by Samsung bolstering its Galaxy Store by signing exclusive deals with popular app developers. Further, during the Epic Games vs. Google lawsuit, documents indicated how Google estimated a loss in revenue as high as $6 billion should alternative app stores “gain full traction.” Like the others, Rahman doesn’t think it’s a smart option for Samsung to get rid of all of its software and applications.
