More Advanced Version of the New Bixby

The new Bixby, for one has better contextual understanding of natural language commands so it can stand high chances to be able to handle more complex tasks. For example, if it was asked where one would go and how to get there, Bixby can even offer him navigation based on his best routes to and fro.

Its AI-based Bixby can answer questions in both text and video format, though it does not generate videos but fetches the relevant internet videos; this enhanced assistant can also translate web pages, and outputs can be saved as Word or PowerPoint in Microsoft Office formats.

Bixby's redesign interface offers a user-friendly all-screen interface based on a minimalist white design and also offers the functionality to use the assistant from any screen in the device and have access to the assistant either via text commands or voice commands.
