A smart speaker is indeed being created at Samsung, the company has confirmed. During an interview with CNBC, Samsung mobile president DJ Koh confirmed the existence of a speaker that’ll end up competing against the Amazon Echo and Apple HomePod. No details were provided.
Maybe soon we will announce it. I am already working on it, – Koh
Though he didn’t talk much about what the device will do, he said he wants it to offer a “fruitful user experience at home with Samsung devices.” Some reports have indicated the company’s Bixby virtual assistant will be a key part of the product.
