Samsung's highly promoted Bixby voice assistant won't be shipping with the Galaxy S8 smartphone on April 21, as previously announced.

The company released a statement Tuesday night that said Bixby will be available in the U.S. on the Galaxy S8 "later in the spring." Samsung didn't explain the delay.

The Bixby will join a pack of artificial intelligence assistants that includes Amazon's Alexa, Apple's Siri and the Google Assistant that are changing the way people interact with their devices. 

Some U.S.-based reviewers and analysts had noticed that the Bixby feature wasn't fully demonstrated when the S8 was announced March 29.
