Samsung has been slower to make inroads on the recent voice trend compared with the market leaders. Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant have been making fast strides to integrate their systems with outside development opportunities, which means a staggering number of supported devices for both voice systems. Google said in May that Assistant can connect with more than 5,000 home devices, while Amazon just announced that Alexa works with 20,000 devices. Opening up third-party support is a critical move if Samsung wants to chip away at the majority market share for those two rivals. While Bixby is supported on other first-party smart tech from Samsung, the company just unveiled its first smart speaker last month.
