Bixby, the new virtual assistant της Samsung που υπάρχει μόνο στο νέο Galaxy S8 smartphone της εταιρείας, μπορεί και λειτουργεί σε όλα τα μεγάλα τηλέφωνα της Samsung που τρέχουν με λειτουργικό σύστημα Android 7.0 Nugat.
Not officially, because what we described above is a result of hacking. A developer with the takerhbk alias on the well-known XDA-Developers forum has managed to make Bixby work through a S8 launcher that leaked earlier this week. 
Takerhbk has since begun to share the necessary files with the Bixby APK, and the launcher APK.
Mishaal Rahman from the XDA-Developers forum reports that he managed to run the digital assistant at Galaxy S7. There were many others who succeeded in bixby's porting on their own devices.
According to Samsung, Bixby will not be released on the Google Play Store.
It should be mentioned that older Samsung devices, such as the Galaxy S7, do not have a dedicated button to access the mode Bixby, as it has the Galaxy S8, which is already available for pre-orders at prices starting from $ 720. So the experience of a Bixby digital assistant on older devices could be very different.
The digital assistant Vixby is not the only assistant you can use on a Samsung phone running on Android Nugat.
Google is getting ready to make Google Assistant available to cell phones with Android Marshmallow and Android Nougat OS. Microsoft's Cortana is available in the Google Play Store, and Amazon has begun distributing its own Alexa digital assistant to smartphones. Of course, Apple's Siri is only available for iOS.
