Samsung's anticipated smart speaker will be called
Magbee, according to a couple of trademark applications Samsung filled in the
US and Europe. We know very little of the speaker, outside of its existence, but we
can bet good money that it will be powered by Bixby and Harman will have some
involvement.
A recent patent application revealed that the
speaker will have a dial. Samsung is expected to have some sort of wireless
home audio solution in place with the Magbee speaker - likely with support for
multi room audio and multiple speakers firing simultaneously.
Samsung could make Magbee official alongside the
Samsung Galaxy Note9 on August 9. That Unpacked event could feature a new
Galaxy Watch as well as new tablets, including the flagship Galaxy Tab S4.
