Samsung started today and for the markets. Predictably, the that Samsung debuted on its newer devices launched this year, like . There is, however, one nifty little feature that is absent from the beta for last year’s flagships.
The current beta releases for both the and Note 9 are missing . For those unaware, Bixby Routines is Samsung’s version of IFTTT and the popular Android app Tasker based on pre-set conditions (a few good examples of which can be found ). The feature made its debut on the Galaxy S10 and was later seen on a few other Galaxy devices, including mid-range phones .
We currently don’t know if this is going to be ‘fixed’ in the next beta update or whether Samsung has decided not to bring Bixby Routines to previous flagships at all. If it’s the latter, then it is safe to assume the feature will not be available for last year’s mid-range and budget devices, either. Considering this is not a hardware-dependent feature, there is some room to be optimistic.
Ironically, among all the Bixby-related functions, Bixby Routines is perhaps the most useful feature, one that many find genuinely helpful. For a company that is trying to force its customers to use Bixby, it would be a strange decision not to offer the one feature that many customers might actually use. Hopefully, the Korean company will bring Bixby Routines to the Galaxy S9/S9+, Note 9, and all other older devices starts rolling out.
