Remember the Samsung Galaxy Home speaker? It's missed yet another release date, leaving the world wondering when exactly we will see the the company's first Bixby-powered smart speaker.Back in June, Kim Hyun-suk, one of Samsung's co-CEOs and the President of the Consumer Electronics division, told theKorea Herald, that the company is aiming for a "mid-second half of the year" launch.If that sounds confusing, "other Samsung executives" told the Herald to "expect a Q3 rollout", according toPhone Arena.Now that Samsung's third financial quarter has come and gone, there's still no sign of the Galaxy Home speaker and it's not the first time Samsung has missed the deadline with this particular device.(Image credit: Samsung)The Samsung Galaxy Home was initially slated for anApril 2019 release, but as the month came and went, it became clear that the spaceship-looking rival to theAmazon Echo,Apple HomePodandGoogle Homewouldn't be landing anytime soon.Even if the Galaxy Home does arrive in the next few months, we still don't know which territories it will be available in.
It was rumored last year that the Bixby-controlled smart speaker would come to "China, Korea, and the US ahead of other markets", but it's unclear whether Samsung will stick to that rollout strategy.We got a brief first look at the speaker in August 2018, which sports a rather odd shape - like the bulb of a flower resting on three silver pegs that act as a stand.The possibility we'll get to test it fully before the end of the year is looking less and less likely.Via The VergeA87KSv4YXsqb2UJGQjgF77.jpg?#
