Bixby has been long criticised for not being as feature-rich as the Google Assistant or Alexa, but Samsung’s home-grown virtual assistant seems to have picked up a new trick today. It can now listen to the music you’re playing and attempt to identify it much like the Pixel-exclusive Now Playing and Shazam. First spotted by Sammobile, the update appears to be a recent one as I just received one for Bixby (and related services) on my Galaxy S9+. I’m going to be honest, I had zero expectations from it, but it managed to identify all the three songs I threw at it.

I started with Queen’s Brighton Rock as it is a somewhat popular song, followed by a slightly lesser-known track. Both tracks were, however, available on major streaming services such as Spotify. The third track is an old song from a long-forgotten, English Prog Rock band and Bixby managed to identify it, much to my surprise. The song in question has little over 4,000 plays on YouTube on a five-year-old upload. It takes Bixby approximately 10-15 seconds to identify a track—much slower than Shazam—but I’m not complaining. I’m going to continue testing it with some more less-known music (both old and new).
