Samsung unveils H7 wireless speaker with no personal assistant

Samsung today pulled the covers off of a new wireless speaker that it will formally introduce at the CES conference in Las Vegas next week. The H7 speaker features Samsung's previously announced Ultra High Quality (UHQ) audio and is capable of going down to 35Hz to deliver low bass, according to a statement. Wheels on the top of the gadget will let people adjust the volume and choose playlists from music streaming services. But what's notable is that the speaker doesn't have any smart intelligent assistant built in. Between the Amazon Echo and the Google Home, that sort of thing is in if anything is.
