Additionally, the company's goal is to compete directly with Amazon Echo and Google Home.

From what has been revealed, its price will be around $ 200. A price that is in the range of its competitors. Something that makes it clear that Samsung is coming to war with this smart speaker.

Some media point out that the first prototypes are ready, but it seems that it has not been confirmed yet. The only thing we already know clearly is that Samsung will arrive soon with its own smart speaker.
