Samsung Smart Speaker to Come Soon

This year was very hot for many manufacturers. They came in with various products belonging to different categories. One of them was the smart speakers’ niche. Currently, there are many companies offering their own smart speaker. Among those companies, we can mention Google, Apple, Amazon and a few Chinese OEMs such as Xiaomi, DingDong, and other. Now seems another giant will join them. Yesterday it became known the Korean manufacturer will release the Samsung Smart Speaker soon.

All those products available in the market carry the word of ‘smart’ because they support remote control. This means you can control them via your phone, tablet, or even voice. As for the Samsung Smart Speaker, it’s said to come with a great sound quality as well as Samsung Bixby voice assistant support. As you know, Bixby is an artificial intelligence program similar to Apple Siri and Google Assistant. Its strength has been seen in the Samsung Galaxy S8 and it’s expected to improve in coming models.

The Samsung Smart Speaker is going to be available in most markets including the US. The predicted price tag is $200. This is quite affordable if taking into account the Amazon Echo costs $100, while the Apple HomePod costs $349. However, if Samsung wants to make competition in the Chinese market as well, it should take into account the existence of the Xiaomi AI Smart Speaker. This is an amazing speaker with tons of innovations and also controlled remotely via voice commands. It is also connected to the Mi Home system. So this speaker can be controlled along with other Mi products. But what’s amazing this smart speaker is priced under $80. So if the Samsung Smart Speaker costs over $100, it won’t make a tough competition to Xiaomi.
