[19] Bixby Vision is an augmented-reality camera that can identify objects in real-time and potentially offer the user to purchase them online, translate text, read QR codes, and recognize landmarks.

[20] "Bixby Home" (which has been now named "Samsung Daily" on One UI 2.1, & recently replaced with "Samsung Free" in the latest One UI software update)[21] was a vertically scrolling list of information that Bixby can interact with,[clarification needed] for example weather, fitness activity and buttons for controlling their smart home gadgets.

Bixby Daily uses time period account-based routines for functions such as calling, setting an alarm, or adding an event.

[32] In October 2017, Samsung announced the release of Bixby 2.0 during its annual developer conference in San Francisco.

The new version was rolled out across the company's line of connected products, including smartphones, TVs, and refrigerators.

The three-dimensional virtual assistant, Sam, was popular on social media though it was not intended as a replacement for Bixby.

[35][36] Most recently, in July 2024, Samsung confirmed that it plans to launch an upgraded version of Bixby later this year.
