Samsung Smart Speaker

Samsung  is creating a speaker that will feature the capabilities of Bixby, a voice assistant software that the company is actively developing. Bixby was announced alongside the Galaxy S8 smartphone and was billed as a major feature of the device and Samsung has yet to offer Bixby outside of its home country of South Korea.

We have seen Apple, Amazon, and Google smart assistant and so Samsung has its own Smart speaker on the way.

We had Amazon Echo, then Google Home, then Apple HomePod.Samsung, it seems, is eager to join the list with its own smart speaker powered by the firm’s Bixby AI assistant; the one which debuted aboard the recent Galaxy S8 series of smartphones.

In creating a Bixby-powered voice assistant speaker, Samsung is squaring itself against major competitors. Amazon’s Echo line occupies more than 70% of the US market for voice-activated speakers, with new additions to the line frequently added. 

Alphabet has also made inroads with Google Home, which has a features list that grows constantly as the search giant expands its capabilities. Microsoft and Apple both have plans for upcoming voice-activated speakers, creating a tough market for Samsung to break into.

The word comes via the Wall Street Journal, which claims the project has been under development for a year already. Internally, it’s referred to as “Vega”, like the masked character from Street Fighter, but whether that name will suit the final product, or whether it’ll more prominently incorporate the Bixby name first and foremost, remains to be seen.

Apparently, a big question mark remains over a possible release in no small part due to the fact that the full English-language rollout of Bixby – for its Galaxy S8 phones –  has been delayed. Current Galaxy S8 owners in some regions can use Bixby, but with very limited functionality, and an absence of voice control functionality.
