Galaxy Home – Samsung's Bixby-powered smart speaker that was unveiled over a year ago – won't be making it to the drawing rooms of interested folks anytime soon. Back in June, a Samsung executive revealed that the Galaxy Home smart speaker will finally hit the market in 2019's third quarter. Well, the ongoing year's third quarter has ed and yet again, the Galaxy Home smart speaker has missed a tentative launch timeline. Samsung is yet to officially reveal a new launch date for its Bixby-powered smart speaker, and we are also yet to come across any recent teasers that could hint its imminent arrival.

After missing the April launch timeline revealed by Koh, CEO Hyun-suk Kim accepting applications for beta-testing a smaller version of the Galaxy Home – uninspiringly called the Galaxy Home Mini – over a month ago in its home market, indicating that a launch is imminent. With the history of delays, it appears that the Galaxy Home Mini might be launched before the Galaxy Home makes it to the shelves.

The Galaxy Home is touted to be Samsung's answer to the likes of Amazon Echo, Apple HomePod, and the Google Home among others. But Samsung is also targeting the Google Assistant-powered smart speakers from audio-centric brands such as Bose and Sonos with its Bixby-powered Galaxy Home. Samsung worked with its Harman subsidiary to develop the Galaxy Home's sound technology and has equipped it with eight microphones to detect voice commands more efficiently.
