Do you remember Samsung's Bixby-powered Galaxy Home smart speaker that was created to compete directly with the Amazon Echo?Obsession Archives
The smart speaker was announced in August last year, but the company gave no official release date during the announcement. Now, we finally have one — well, sort of.
SEE ALSO: Samsung Galaxy S10, S10e, and S10+ take premium Android phones to the next levelFollowing Samsung's Unpacked event — where the company announced four new Galaxy S10 phones (S10e, S10, S10+, and S10 5G) and a foldable phone — the company said the Galaxy Home will launch "in the first half of 2019."
The head of Samsung's mobile division DJ Koh was a little more specific and told CNET "by April." Koh didn't share a specific release date or even say how much the smart speaker would cost.
At this point, you have to wonder who is left to care about the Galaxy Home. In the time it has taken Samsung to actually release the smart speaker, Google Assistant- and Alexa-powered smart speakers have invaded homes worldwide.
Although the company doesn't disclose exact unit sales, Amazon says it has sold "tens of millions" Echo devices and over 100 million Alexa-enabled devices.
Similarly, Google might have sold an estimated 52 million Google Homes to date. Google also boasted how its Assistant is used on over 1 billion devices.
Can Samsung even catch up to Google and Alexa, who are already so far ahead of the smart speaker and smart home game? It seems unlikely, especially considering how universally loathed Bixby is.
Even Apple is struggling to get people to buy HomePods, but that might have more to do with its more expensive price, lack of integration with music services other than Apple Music, and weak Siri intelligence.
The last time we checked out Galaxy Home, it didn't exactly blow us away with its design or its features. So again, is anyone really on the fence about Samsung's smart speaker?
UPDATE: Feb. 23, 2019, 6:43 a.m. UTC Included clarification on Galaxy Home arriving "in first half of 2019."
