Samsung Bixby integrates with Twitter Spaces to let users use voice commands
Recently, Samsung and Twitter announced that from now on, anyone who owns a Galaxy smartphone with Bixby will be able to use Voice Assistant to find space on Twitter, allowing this feature to stream live audio and open conversations together. The originality is valid for Brazil.
The integration of the feature with Bixby makes it much easier to find the most diverse fields, providing more space for space hosts to attract an engaged audience, as well as providing content that is of interest to the platform.
“New feature lets you use voice commands from Samsung’s voice assistant to find selected content on Twitter”
For instance, saying “Search football space on Twitter“, the voice assistant searches, and the result is shown to the person. You can also search for scheduled locations. Similarly, saying “Find scheduled places on Twitter” will show results according to voice search. Search works for device name in English, space or, Portuguese, spaces.
You do not need to install the Twitter app to access Spaces. This integration is also part of Twitter’s efforts to make the platform more accessible and inclusive to the community of people with disabilities. In Spaces, you can activate direct transliteration.
Samsung, which offers more accessible and innovative technology to its customers, helps to bring people together to suit their personal interests and tastes, thereby improving the relationships that individuals have with each other and with the brand
Sharing through the Spaces API (Application Programming Interface) enables developers to create tools, applications, and services to help individuals make the most of space and shape the future of audio communication.

LG Innotek struggles to gain ground in Samsung smartphone CoF
LG Innotek is supplying CoF for budget and mid-range Samsung smartphones this year. Despite the CoF supply chain formed by the Korean govt., Stemco still has the upper hand in overall volume and model-specific volume in the Samsung CoF market.
TheElec notes that LG Innotek is not making progress in Samsung smartphones’ CoF (chip-on-film) market. Back in 2021, Korean govt formed a local CoF supply chain, but Japan’s Stemco still has an edge over LG Innotek in the Samsung smartphone CoF market.
As of 2024, LG Innotek and PI Advanced Materials are still supplying CoF and related materials for Samsung’s affordable phones like the Galaxy A5 series. Pay attention, the lower lineup of the Galaxy A series and Galaxy M series uses the CoG method, mounting chips on glass substrates.
LG Innotek’s CoF production line operation rate is expected to reach around 70% this year. Beyond Samsung, LG Innotek supplies smartphone CoFs to Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi. Notably, G Innotek’s revenue was 20.6 trillion won last year.

Samsung is expected to hold its next Unpacked event in Paris right before the 2024 Olympics kicks off. The tentative date is July 10, when the company will introduce Galaxy Z Flip 6, Z Fold 6, and Z Fold 6 Ultra. More products including the Watch 7 series and Galaxy Ring are expected.
As the company still has around two months to unveil, there will be further performance improvements. Global consumers might be disappointed as the Exynos is expected to power some units. It might harm some sales but Samsung has to do it to maintain the cost-cutting.
