Samsung plans to pitch a digital assistant as one of the main reasons customers should return to its Galaxy brand:

Samsung Electronics Co. plans to equip its next Galaxy S smartphones with a Siri-like digital assistant, seeking to make a strong comeback after the global debacle that precipitated the death of its flawed Note 7 lineup.

Samsung, which last month acquired U.S.-based artificial-intelligence software company Viv Labs Inc., said the Galaxy S8 slated for next year will come with AI-enabled features "significantly differentiated" from those of Apple Inc.'s Siri or Google, executive vice president Rhee In-jong told reporters. Those services now offer up potentially useful information from the weather to flight times based on user activity.

If it's "significantly differentiated" from Apple or Google, does that mean it's like Amazon's Alexa?

    My dishwasher is a Samsung and it's extremely quiet for the features it has and the job it does.
