It’s no secret that Samsung is gearing up to launch a rival to Siri and Google Assistant, having last month acquired Viv, an AI assistant built by the creators of Apple’s competing service.

It’s true that many phones explode throughout the world every day, but that doesn’t happen with a certain brand or model like in Galaxy Note 7’s case.
Owing to this, Samsung has rolled out an update to the device in South Korea, US, Europe and Australia to limit the battery charging limit, and country to get the update is Canada. It’s not offering clues as to what this virtual helper will do, but it will let developers “attach and upload services” to extend the AI’s functionality beyond what you get out of the box.
Samsung plans to incorporate the San Jose-based company’s AI platform called Viv into the Samsung Galaxy 8 and expand its voice-assistant services to home appliances and wearable technology devices. With that said, Samsung is trying its best to have a solution to the problem, but with all that has happen, the Korean company may never bounce back from its former glory. She also stated she was planning to sue Samsung. That would mark a break from the past three years, when Samsung used the tech showcase in Barcelona to unveil its newest top-of-the-line Galaxy S smartphones.

A Samsung phone user in France says her Galaxy J5 smartphone caught fire and exploded on Sunday. The artificial intelligence service will also be made available in Samsung’s other consumer electronics products, such as refrigerators. Samsung will leave no stone unturned following the Note 7 battery outrage, which was reportedly caused by its struggle to beat the Apple iPhone 7.
