🔍 Samsung Plans Major Bixby Upgrade with Perplexity for Galaxy S26

Samsung is preparing a significant overhaul of Bixby ahead of the Galaxy S26 launch. While Galaxy AI continues to expand, Bixby has struggled to keep up, handling basic commands while more complex questions are routed to Google Gemini.

That could soon change. Reports suggest Samsung is considering a partnership with Perplexity to strengthen Bixby’s capabilities. Under this approach, Bixby would remain responsible for on device tasks and system controls, while Perplexity would power deeper web based queries with sourced answers, similar to how Apple integrates ChatGPT.
