Samsung launches smart speaker

Smart speakers with voice assistants are completely hot. Look for example at the Amazon Echo line-up with Amazon Alexa, the Apple HomePod with Siri and the Google Home line-up with the Google Assistant. Samsung has its own voice assistant in the form of Bixby which we have already seen appearing on the company’s TVs. Samsung would now also work on a smart speaker with the voice assistant.

According to the sources of The Wall Street Journal Samsung is about to launch its first Bixby speaker, on August 9, together with the Galaxy Note 9. Striking is the price of 300 dollars that is mentioned. This is rather on the high side and hopefully means that there is a very nice sound coming from the device. The speaker would at least have ‘sound shifting’, which means that the audio is sent to those who talk to the speaker. Naturally, the speaker also serves as a hub for the smart home platform of Samsung; SmartThings.
