Samsung spent a lot of time and money lauding a plethora of new products including four new smartphones, 5G capability, and the Galaxy Fold foldable phone that basically turns a smartphone into a tablet on command, but news about its much-lauded Galaxy Home smart speaker went missing, until today.
It was a bit surprising that a multi-million dollar launch event like Samsung’s much-lauded Galaxy Unpacked event in San Francisco this week didn’t seem to warrant a smart home technology announcement. After the South Korean company unveiled four new Galaxy S10 smartphones, a revelatory 5G capability, the unprecedented Galaxy Fold foldable phone that basically transforms your smartphone into a tablet, Galaxy Buds designed to outstrip Apple’s funky Earpods, and three new smartwatches, Samsung elected not to update consumers on its long-awaited Galaxy Home smart speaker.
This device is the King Kong meant to match the Godzilla that is Amazon’s Alexa-powered line of smart speakers, not to mention the Mothra that is Google Home.
