Talk to Samsung’s Bixby Voice and score freebies

Consumers are spoilt for choice, somewhat, these days with a plethora of digital assistants at their beck and call. Depending on what device they’re using, users can pick from Google Assistant, Siri and Cortana though Samsung’s own take on a digital assistant dubbed Bixby Voice is gaining traction. Now, Samsung is offering a series of rewards by simply interacting with Bixby Voice.

Like many digital assistants, Bixby Voice allows you to set appointments, make calls, answer queries and the like. It is somewhat of a new kid on the block though and out of Samsung’s extensive line-up of devices, only the recent Galaxy S8, S8+ and the Galaxy Note8 currently offer support for Bixby Voice with future phones like the upcoming S9 offering it by default.


If you own any of the aforementioned current-gen Samsung phones, you can earn experience points by simply interacting with Bixby Voice which can then go towards earning Samsung Rewards points. On top of interacting in English, it also tackles Korean and Mandarin too, making it quite a polyglot. The more you ask Samsung’s digital assistant for help, offer it feedback and teach it new phrases, the smarter it gets and the more Samsung Reward points you get which can be traded in for gifts and other Samsung products too.

There’s also a series of unlockables too and based on a chart officially provided on their site, levelling Bixby up to level 5, 7 and 9 gets you a new background colour to choose from for the Bixby user interface. Simply put, using it scores you free swag. Sounds like a win/win situation for us. The programme isn’t indefinite though and is only valid from January 16 to April 15 2018.
