Back in October, Samsung acquired Viv Labs, an AI startup that created a unique digital assistant that can improve itself without any human input.

While the reports claiming that the Galaxy S8 possibly having the Bluetooth 5 are exciting, such a feature is not the only thing to watch out for.
However, Samsung might not be able to use Viv on the S8, thanks to a non-compete agreement it signed with Google in 2014, reports The Register. In an email sent to Samsung’s employees on Thursday, Koh said that he’s “regretful” to hear about a recently attempted prototype leak which the company apparently managed to stop. Also, Samsung is tipped to introduce a touch sensitive home button in its upcoming smartphone device instead of the physical home button incorporated in its Galaxy S7.
Samsung has not introduced a drastic change in the design of its flagship Galaxy smartphone device since the company launched its Galaxy S6. Since the Galaxy S8 will have the same resolution as the Galaxy S7, does not mean we should expect everything else to be the same as Galaxy S7.
We’ve rounded up everything we know about the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 so far and will update this article as soon as and when we hear more. The update was primed for a December 19 release date to give device owners even more time to exchange their explosive devices, but there was some unexpected pushback. We’ve seen Sony mount the same scanner on the right-hand side of its non-US flagships, but it seems Samsung Galaxy S8 will opt for a rear-mounted version of the same.
It seems that Verizon has now changed its mind on launching what would be the final software update for the Galaxy Note 7, setting a release date of January 5 next year.

The group has estimated the arrival of Bluetooth 5.0-powered devices within two to six months. The ban has been effective since October 15, saying all Note 7 devices are not allowed from air transportation in the United States as decided by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
