As Samsung prepares for the launch of the Galaxy Note 9, it has been announced that next to the new generation Galaxy Note model, the South Korean company is launching the future Bixby Smart Speaker on August 9th. Smart Speaker, which should be designed to counter Amazon Echo, Google Home, and Apple's HomePod, is being developed with the code name "Lux" and will be on sale for around $ 300 (approximately Rs. 20,600 ). Apart from the speaker, Samsung is currently in the headlines for its plans to launch a new smartwatch model that could be the Galaxy watch. The smartwatch – the successor of the Gear S3 – which, according to an initial rumor, would have worked with Google's Wear operating system, is now considered to be running Tizen 4.0 from the start. It is also said to be selling from August 24, in line with the availability of the Galaxy Note 9. Separately, a couple of renderings of the Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2018) have been leaked that match its design with the Galaxy Tab S4 is already said to be aligned with the arrival of the new Galaxy Note, Galaxy Watch, and Smart Speaker.
The Samsung Bixby speaker with a bowl-shaped design with a bottomed leg and top lights will be unveiled Parallel to the launch of the Galaxy Note 9 next month, reports the Wall Street Journal as well as the development of 39, a collapsible smartphone, citing people familiar with development. It is said that the speaker has such features as the "change of sound" that will transmit the audio in the direction of the user through verbal commands. In addition, it is said to be marketed as a high-end music player – similar to how Apple is currently positioning its HomePod in the growing market of smart speakers. This is indeed important because Samsung should sell the smart speaker at around $ 300, which is over $ 100 Amazon Echo and $ 130 Google Home.
At CES 2018 in early January, Bixby was featured on some Samsung Smart TV models and Family Hub refrigerators. Samsung is also developing to enhance the existing experience by launching Bixby 2.0 which is expected to debut on the Galaxy Note 9 next month. Likewise, the next generation of Samsung smartwatch that could come as Galaxy Watch is supposed to include a Bixby integration to take Apple Watch backed by Siri.
Coming to the Galaxy Watch, it was previously reported that the smartwatch will come with Google Wear Wear But a new report from SamMobile claims that Samsung is using Tizen 4.0 on the new smartwatch model. Notably, the latest version of Tizen focuses primarily on the Internet of Things ecosystem (IoT) and brings a bunch of voice control APIs to help develop voice-based personal badistants . This could help the company to integrate Bixby into its smartwatch range
ZDNet Korea in a separate report claims that Galaxy Watch will be unveiled on August 9 next to the Galaxy Note 9. The new smartwatch will begin on August 14, its sale will begin on August 24th. This is in line with the marketing program of Galaxy Note 9.
The Galaxy Watch is said to come with some health care features and "killer apps" related to fitness features. All this should aim to improve the experience on the Gear S3 that was launched in India in January last year.
In addition to new rumors surrounding the Bixby and Galaxy Watch speaker, a couple of official renditions of the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2018) surfaced online. The renderings, courtesy of NieuweMobiel.NL, show that the tablet will not include a home button. This matches the previously disclosed design of the Galaxy Tab S4. Compared to the Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2017) from last year that was launched in September, his successor seems to have thinner glbades and sport a 2.5D curved glbad panel. In addition, the renderings highlight August 9 as the date on the lock screen. This suggests that Samsung could launch the new tablet model at its Unpacked event in New York where the Galaxy Note 9 and other Galaxy-Series hardware make their debut.
