'Scoop' might be Samsung's itty-bitty Amazon Echo competitor

If documents and photos submitted to the US Federal Communications Commission are to be believed, Samsung is prepping a new voice-activated Bluetooth speaker that looks an awful lot like a potential competitor for the Amazon Echo and the upcoming Google Home. First noticed by Ausdroid, the speaker is currently called "Scoop." It's about the same size as the Amazon Echo Dot, and judging from a brief user manual included in the filing, it seems to serve the same basic purpose: streaming music from your phone over Bluetooth, or from an external audio source via built-in audio jack. A user manual submitted to the Federal Communications Commission offers a look at the Scoop's hardware. What's less clear is whether the Scoop does anything else.
