Some Samsung Galaxy AI features can now be used hands-free with Bixby،
Following the release of the Samsung Galaxy S24 series and Galaxy AI last month, Samsung is now offering its users more ways to interact with the AI features of their devices. Now, in addition to touch controls, users can use these new features through Samsung's Bixby Assistant.
This hands-free functionality has been announced today by Samsung with the aim of giving its users a way to quickly activate some of the Galaxy AI's features with simple commands. For now, AI features that will be available with Bixby include real-time translation, spelling correction, creating web page summaries, and creating automated note covers.
The table below illustrates the different commands that can be used to invoke the different features. To translate a live conversation, for example, you'll just say “Hey Bixby, turn on the interpreter” instead of having to find the menu option on your phone.

Samsung is taking a measured approach to the rollout, initially focusing on its latest Galaxy S24 series, which are the only devices supporting Galaxy AI at the moment. Additionally, Bixby's ability to enable AI features is limited to specific languages, which currently are Chinese, English (US, UK, and India), French, German, Italian, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish (Spain) and Spanish (Latin). America).
However, don't despair if you own an old Samsung device. The company has already confirmed that many Galaxy AI features will be rolling out to older devices, including the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 FE, Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5, and Galaxy Tab S9. Based on this, we can assume that if these features include those supported by Bixby, then you will be able to use this feature on these older devices as well.
It's important to note, however, that the Galaxy AI's features are still in their early stages. Although they provide some comfort to its users, it is likely that they will not always work exactly as advertised. That said, it's exciting to see Samsung finding more creative ways to use AI on its devices and thus bring value to its users.
