This is not the first time we have heard of Samsung's new smartphone powered by Bixby, it has been repeated on many occasions in the past that Samsung is working on its smart speaker, which aims to compete with Amazon Echo speakers from the company Amazon and Google Home from Google. As we have said, a new report from the Wall Street Journal today says Samsung's smart speaker will arrive within a few weeks. So that the report gives us an idea of the cost of this device, and what things will be able to do.
Samsung has already confirmed that it will launch its smart speaker in the second half of 2018. We are in the second half of this year, and if we believe what the Wall Street Journal reported, the launch date is not far away .
The report says it will be a bowl-shaped device with legs at the bottom and a bright LED lamp. Samsung will market it as a premium music player with smart features, such as the Apple HomePod smart speaker. The Audio Conversion feature will also be one of the built-in features of this device. This feature is designed to direct sound towards the person who is giving the voice command.
The report also claims that Samsung's next smart speaker will cost about $ 300. This will put him in more direct competition with high-end speakers such as HomePod and Google Home Max instead of the Amazon Echo speakers offered on the market at much cheaper prices. This smart speaker is expected to be unveiled alongside Galaxy Note 9 on August 9th.
