Samsung has revealed that the Galaxy Home smart
speaker will go on sale sometime by April. This information was conveyed by
co-CEO DJ Koh following the Galaxy S10 launch event yesterday.
The Galaxy Home speaker was announced alongside the
Galaxy Note 9 back in August. Although no release date or pricing was announced
back then, no one really thought it would take this long for it to hit the
shelves.
Now, six months after the announcement, Samsung is
still mum about the exact launch date for the smart home speaker. This could
very well have to do with Bixby, the AI assistant powering the speaker, not
being up to snuff but that's just speculation on my part.
The Galaxy Home speaker will compete against the
Apple HomePod, Amazon Echo and Google Home when it releases some time in the
next two months.
