Samsung announced its new smart speaker called the Galaxy Home
during its event in Brooklyn, NY on Thursday.
The “smart” part comes from Samsung’s own Bixby artificial
intelligence (AI) voice assistant. Much like Amazon’s Alexa,
Google’s Assistant, and Apple’s Siri, you can ask Bixby questions
and have it perform certain tasks with your voice.

So far, Samsung’s Bixby hasn’t received the most positive reviews
when compared to competition. Samsung announced several new
improvements to Bixby during its event on Thursday, but it feels
like the company is playing catch-up with Google, Amazon, and
even Apple’s Siri.
The Galaxy Home will also be a smart device hub, so you’ll be
able to control smart-home devices with your voice. For example,
you can control doors fitted with smart locks, or turn on smart
light bulbs.
As a speaker, the Galaxy Home will deliver 360-degree sound, but
you can ask Bixby to direct sound towards you rather than
spreading it around a room. It also houses a subwoofer for bass.
Design-wise, it seemingly sports a fabric exterior in a somewhat
similar shape as Apple’s HomePod. The major difference is the
tripod stand. From the photos during Samsung’s event, it looks
like it could be a fairly large device.

Samsung didn’t reveal much about the Galaxy Home during its
event. More details will be announced during the company’s
Developer Conference in November.
