Samsung's Bixby unlock

Samsung is continuously releasing many services and products, including the Bixby unlock. Tech Radar reported that Samsung Galaxy S21 will first have the very smartphone voice unlock of the company.

Rumors stated that this new feature will allow the users to open their device using only their voice. It is allegedly powered by Samsung's Bixby voice assistant.

However, the tech giant company hasn't released any updates yet regarding the upcoming service. People will have two options to use the upcoming voice unlock feature. First, they can either set a spoken password, which will require you to be alone when opening your smartphone. The second one will be your own voice, which will be automatically recognized by Samsung Galaxy S21.

As of the moment, Samsung hasn't released any update yet if it'll work just like iPhone's Siri or other existing voice command features from other smartphones.
