We have no way of knowing for sure. I have read that Samsung is working on their own voice type assistant for the Galaxy S8 series, but whether that will come to the S7 series via a software update, we have no way of knowing for certain.

It might help you to take a look at the Google Pixel Simulator to see exactly how it works!    here is the link:   Pixel, Phone by Google Support | Verizon Wireless

You can actually go through the steps to send a text message or add a contact (or whatever) and see how many steps there are to perform different tasks.   it lets you "try out" the phone!

Over all (despite my recent gripes with the Pixel) I'd say the Pixel is the better phone.  I own them both.

I also have the Pixel and the S7 Edge. I prefer the Pixel although it is only by a slim margin. The S7 Edge is a fine phone. IF the S7 Edge were likely to get OS updates as often or as quickly as the Pixel, they may even be equal in my eyes. I have the S7 Edge using the Google Now launcher, so I am not using Samsung's skin they have dropped on top of android.

I personally think the S7 Edge is more comparable to the Pixel than the Pixel XL. If you prefer a larger phone, the Pixel XL is the larger device.
