Galaxy Home is Samsung's Bixby-powered smart speaker

Samsung has been developing a speaker based on its own digital assistant, Bixby, for a while. During its Galaxy Note 9 event in New York City, the company finally revealed the Galaxy Home smart speaker, a clear rival to Apple's HomePod, the Google Home and Amazon's Echo line. The device, which features the rumored tripod design with a round body, is powered by Harman's AKG audio and was engineered to "make music sound amazing." Of course, since this is a smart speaker after all, you'll be able to use your voice to control it. Samsung says there are eight microphones built-in for far-field voice recognition, which will make it possible for it to hear your commands from long distances within your home or office.
