Both do not significantly drain your battery, using the battery monitor that comes with stock android neither the assistant or bixby tend to use much power in comparison to other apps with regular use, and that makes sense as most of the calculations are on the server side, the client side just displays the information

Like the M31, the Galaxy M21 also runs the stripped-down One UI Core which misses out on features such as Bixby Home and Samsung Pay. However, apart from that, you will be able to enjoy the full scope of OneUI features ranging from the tons of theme customisations, better animations, dark mode and tweaked icons.
Bixby Routines is a feature bolstered by machine learning to adapt to your life, suggesting ways to make your phone time more streamlined. The automated actions are triggered by context clues: location, time, or event. Bixby Routines is turned on by default.
The thing with Bixby is that it's not really horrible—it's just unnecessary. Anything Bixby can do, Assistant can do better. Bixby Vision was arguably its most useful feature, but with the rise of Google Lens, even that isn't so useful anymore. But redundancy isn't even the most annoying part of Bixby.
You don't need to press a button when you want to call Bixby on your Galaxy phone or tablet; you can do it hands-free with Voice wake-up. Once this feature is set up, all you have to do is say “Hi, Bixby,” and Bixby will be at your service. You can ask a question or give a command.

While both Google Assistant and Bixby are pretty much the same, when it comes to basic functionalities like executing voice commands to perform a wide range of tasks, Google Assistant is tied to the Google Home ecosystem, whereas Bixby is limited to the Samsung universe.
Bixby is designed to let you carry out a full range of interactions, rather than launching an app, for example, or carrying out a single task. Bixby is contextually aware, meaning that it can recognise the state that the app is in and take the right actions based on your requests, also letting you mix voice or touch.
While there is a dedicated button to Bixby, you don't have to press it to open Bixby Voice. You can just say, "Bixby," so long as you have Voice wake-up enabled. Then tap the Bixby Voice icon at the bottom of the screen to speak a command.
Bixby Voice works as you'd expect when it comes to making calls. Say something like, “Call mom on mobile” and it'll start a phone call. For incoming calls, you can say, “Accept” or “Decline,” though it's just as easy to tap the screen. You can also easily add a contact or see someone's info just by asking.
Bixby 2.0:you can talk to Galaxy continuously, instead of saying it every time: Hi Bixby! Currently, the users ask any query by invoking the Bixby first but with the coming version, you won't need to call its name everytime you're asking it something.
- Open the My Bixby page and go to Custom chat.
- Setup a custom chat with the custom confirmation phrase you want Bixby to say at the end of a quick command.
- Test the custom chat with Bixby so that you can confirm it sounds and works as intended, and it shows up in your history.
Press and hold the Bixby key to call Bixby, and then say "Play music." You will be prompted to sign into your Spotify account. Once you do, Bixby and Spotify will be officially linked. If you prefer Samsung Music or Google Play Music, Bixby still works with them.
At the S10 launch, Bixby added Vision, Routines, Voice, and Key Customization. The Bixby button remapping for Galaxy devices is out. And today, Samsung made public the good news that Galaxy users can customize Bixby wake-up words. Instead of “Hi Bixby”, you can say “Hi IceCat” or “Hi AC” (or how about “Hi Baby”).
For those who want to shut it off completely, you need to disable both Bixby Voice and Bixby Home. Both are very simple to do. Tap and hold on an empty section of your home screen, and then swipe right to reach the leftmost panel, which is Bixby Home. To get rid of it, toggle the button up top to the off position.
