After Samsung's big failure with the release of Note 7, the company seems to be preparing us for the Galaxy S8 smartphone.
It's said to arrive early next year, and Samsung Mobile VP Lee Kyeong-tae said the refreshed S8 device will feature a "refreshed design, an improved camera, as well as an improved artificial intelligence (AI) service,” according to the WSJ.
Kyeong-tae chose not to get into details about how AI could work, but probably the South Korean company would probably develop a digital voice-assistant answering questions.
Samsung famously recently bought the Viv service, developed by the creators of Siri, and announced its intentions to integrate it into producthers, from wearables to household ones Appliances.
Η movement The company's move toward an enhanced AI assistant comes in response to the technology's growing popularity. Among others, Google and Apple are trying to improve their own assistant services.
Under the light of the recent failure with the Note 7, Samsung can not afford to be able to afford another failure with the release of its next big device.
The company from South Korea is expected to present its new Galaxy S8 phone at Mobile World Congress 2017 in February.
