And it is not going to be less the South Korean company with the issue of smart speakers. For now, it was leaked online that the code name of this project that we all sensed is close to is Vega. With this, what is intended from Samsung is to compete directly with the recent Apple's HomePod, Amazon's Alexa speaker or Google's.
In any case, it was a movement expected by all users, specialized media and even companies. According to the first leaks about this Vega development we cannot say that it is too advanced.
According to The Wall Street Journal For now we will have a new speaker model with the Bixby assistant, presented together with the new Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 + but Vega's main problem would be the language, which is only in English and has been launched exclusively for US users. . No data on speaker design or hardware specs of this, but surely with the passing of the days the leaks are making their way showing more details of this project.
It will be time to be patient and see how the news about this future Samsung smart speaker develops but obviously we do not believe that it will revolutionize a market that is currently quite crowded with the recent presentations of similar speakers and improvements in the most veteran ones such as the Amazon Echo. In any case, we always say that the competition is good and we hope that these types of devices improve over time in addition to adjusting more in terms of price.
