Samsung will give you a new way to access Bixby in One UI 9 | Infinium-tech
According to a new report, one of the new features in the upcoming One UI 9 based on Android 17 will be a new way to summon Bixby. Yes, Bixby is still alive and Samsung shows no intention of getting rid of it, even though we have to admit that the number of uses is decreasing every year.
Anyway, if you’re a die-hard fan of Bixby, in One UI 9 you’ll be able to talk to it by simply picking up your phone and bringing it to your face. Bixby will automatically activate based on this gesture and you can immediately start talking to it without having to say “Bixby” or “Hi, Bixby” first.
So with this you’ll have three ways to summon Samsung’s Assistant in One UI 9: hotword, holding down the power button, or the new method Samsung is labeling “gesture wake-up.” Gesture wake-up has the potential to be most useful if it doesn’t trigger accidentally, and if it reliably triggers when you want it to.
One UI 9 is expected to launch on the Galaxy Z Fold8 and Z Flip8 in July. After this, it should become available in the coming months as a software update for devices that Samsung still supports.
