Samsung has delayed the release of its Galaxy Home speaker. The Bixby-powered device should be on shelves sometime between July and September. Samsung CEO Hyun-suk Kim who manages the company’s consumer electronics division has given yet another release window for the product: sometime in Q3 2019, according to an interview with The Korea Herald.
CEO Hyun-suk Kim told the Korea Herald Galaxy Home is “planned to be launched in mid-second half of the year,” or in other words, Q3. That means it’ll be around a year between Samsung announcing Galaxy Home and starting to sell it. Kim described the device as “the center of Samsung’s home appliances,” suggesting it’s an important part of Samsung’s smart home strategy. However, he declined to discuss reported plans for a smaller version of the speaker.
Given Galaxy Home’s apparent significance to the company, it might not be such a bad idea for Samsung to give itself plenty of time to get the speaker just right
