Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. could eliminate Bixby, the virtual voice
assistant, and the Galaxy Apps Store from its mobile devices under a deal
with Alphabet Inc’s Google. It is the latest effort by Google to convince
Samsung to lose one of its services and instead promote Google’s search,
Assistant and Play Store apps. If the move is successful, Google would
grab the world’s bestselling mobile device maker by units sold, and
Samsung would drop its own services while the search giant is
highlighted. Android software powers phones from Samsung and many
other companies as an incentive to provide manufacturers with
advertising revenue from Google apps featured on their devices.
