[NetEase smart news December 17 news similar to Alexa software support smart speakers, Samsung smart home speakers may be listed in early 2018. According to news, it sells for about $200.

Samsung may eventually join the ranks of competing with Amazon Echo and Google Home, and they will launch a smart home speaker powered by Bixby software. According to Bloomberg, this smart speaker is expected to be released in the first half of 2018.

Early rumors about Samsung's development of smart speakers can be traced back to July this year, but when DJ Koh, the president of Samsung Mobile, confirmed that the company is developing related products, this statement was truly confirmed. In October of this year, Samsung announced the development of Bixby 2.0, and promised to introduce Bixby smart speakers into smart home devices.

Samsung's Bixby Voice software was originally used in the Galaxy S8 series, which has already entered the market and has received a very good response. Although CNET believes that Bixby's functionality is still unstable, Samsung has always considered it to be a very important factor in forming a complete ecosystem of Samsung products, including Samsung's TVs and refrigerators.

Bixby's smart home speakers will allow Samsung to compete directly with Amazon, Google and Apple, and will be compared to all independent smart speakers using Amazon's Alexa software. Some analysts predict that by 2021, smart speakers will become a $ 3.5 billion industry, and in 2016 the number of this project is $ 720 million. Manufacturers are scrambling for the possibility of each small share of competition.

Bloomberg also reported that the price of this smart speaker may be about 200 US dollars (about 150 pounds, about 260 Australian dollars), the price is also set in the Amazon Echo (priced at 99 US dollars) and Apple's HomePod (sale price Between $349). According to Bloomberg, Bixby smart speakers are larger than Echo and smaller than HomePod. It is said that it does not have a screen (Amazon's Echo there), and only a matte black color, but there are rumors that Samsung will release more colors for this smart speaker. Samsung does not comment on the matter at this time.
