Siri vs Google Assistant: Which Voice Assistant Should You Choose?
Siri and Google Assistant are popular voice assistants that help you in your everyday life in various ways. All you need to do is get a compatible device like the iPhone 8 Plus or Samsung A70 from Badili and speak to it, by either asking questions or commanding the voice assistant to do whatever you need, be it reading out the news or telling you the time.
Have you wondered which voice assistant is better? While both assistants have their own advantages and disadvantages, they are fairly competent.
Siri
If you own an iPhone, setting up and using Siri is easier than using Google Assistant. When it comes to compatibility, Siri only works on Apple-related devices like the iPhone 8 Plus.
It’s also great in terms of communication by recognizing one voice at a time. This helps you make the most of it and can also handle tasks like making calls, composing texts and emails hands-free, without a glitch.
You can also use third-party apps with Siri. It allows you to message hands-free on WhatsApp, call a cab via Uber and even update your Facebook status, all through verbal communication.
Google Assistant
Google Assistant is integrated into every Android phone like the refurbished Samsung Z Flip from Badili. This is because Google develops and owns the Android operating system, and the company can easily incorporate Google Assistant into almost all Android smartphones. Nevertheless, you can also use it on your iOS device with the relevant app.
Google Assistant understands context, which means it can react in a natural, informed way. This means that it will not only offer knee-jerk, reactive responses that focus on keywords and phrases. It can also recognise the voices of different people and can handle multiple requests at the same time.
You can simply command the voice assistant by saying ‘Hey, Google’ to get help whether your phone is locked or not and you don’t have to open an app before requesting help with your task.
Which Voice Assistant Should You Choose?
The voice assistant you choose depends on the phone that you use. If you own an iPhone, then Siri will do just fine. Alternatively, You can use Google Assistant, but unless you have a smart home device that’s incompatible with Siri, there’s not much need.
If you own an Android smartphone, Google Assistant seems like a no-brainer. It’s able to handle complex requests and integrate well with third-party devices.
