The report also states that Bixby 2.0 may integrate with the third party services, as well as other devices.This report comes right after the company appointed Samsung Research America’s chief Chung Eui-Suk to improve Bixby as reported to the Financial Times. Korean Herald reports that the Suk's previous experience includes working with Ericsson.According to the report, Samsung’s mobile business chief Koh Dong-jin admitting to Bixby's lacklustre response said, “We will supplement the incomplete parts of Bixby 1.0 at Bixby 2.0.”One thing to note here is that Bixby was first introduced on the Note 8 on September 30 for Indian users. It was later introduced to the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus.
