It is worth pointing out that Samsung’s Bixby offers quick commands that integrate well with third-party apps. However, the marketplace makes it easier for the user to browse through various categories of apps including games, productivity, travel and music. Users will also be able to customize their capsule to need that is very specific in nature. For instance, if you like to travel by Uber over other can-hailing services, you can adjust the settings in a way that whenever you request a ride, Bixy makes an Uber come and pick you up. Similarly, you can adjust settings for other apps like Spotify, Yelp, YouTube, Google Maps and more. According to Samsung, the Bixby marketplace and capsules would not come with visual ads. However, there isn’t much clarity about any audio-based advertisements on the app store.
With the launch of the new platform, Samsung is trying to get more developers to create for its marketplace. The company has even said that it has plans of unveiling more at its developer conference that will be held in fall this year in San Jose, California. Bixby marketplace is now available for users in the United States and Korea and it is expected to be rolled out to other important markets for Samsung soon.
In an unrelated piece of news, Samsung has also announced that it is all set to launch its Galaxy Note 10 handset at its Galaxy Unpacked event that will be scheduled for August 7 this year.
