As per ETNews reports, Samsung S8's Bixby will support more languages that the Google Assistant which currently supports only English, Hindi, German, and Portuguese (only on Allo). Interestingly, Apple's Siri is the clear winner in this arena and offers support for more than 30 languages. Microsoft's Cortana also offers support in more languages than the Google Assistant.
