Following a recent update, Bixby has reportedly started switching between different voices when responding, regardless of which one the user selected.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"e_wt\">Is Galaxy AI a reason you&#8217;d pay more for a smartphone?<\/h3>\n<p>159 votes<\/p>\n<p>Sure, I use it everyday, and it adds value.<\/p>\n<p>18%<\/p>\n<p>Absolutely not, Samsung has plenty of work to do.<\/p>\n<p>82%<\/p>\n<p>The complaint was posted in Korean on Samsung\u2019s Community forum. The user says their usual voice sometimes appears on the second response, while the first and subsequent answers use a lower, unfamiliar voice. They also report that Bixby no longer matches the notification voice configured through a routine. Another commenter criticized the broader inconsistency in Bixby\u2019s speech, claiming that the voice now changes noticeably depending on what it says.<\/p>\n<p>In what seems like an acknowledgment of the issue, the Bixby team responded to the original complaint. A moderator apologized and said the feedback about Bixby\u2019s voice style would be passed to the relevant department for consideration, but stopped short of confirming a bug or promising a fix.<\/p>\n<p>That may be a little frustrating for anyone hearing Bixby cycle through an unexpected cast of voices. Samsung has recently upgraded the assistant with better natural-language understanding and is still exploring features designed to make speaking to it more convenient, but consistency is a much more important part of sounding natural.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
