Samsung Galaxy Home confirmed to launch by the end of June 2019
July 06, 2025
The long-gestatingSamsung Galaxy Homesmart speaker might finally land in stores at some point soon. According to a Samsung spokesperson speaking withAndroid Authority, the company is planning on launching the Galaxy Home in the first half of 2019.
That means we should see the Samsung Galaxy Home by the end of June. This contradicts earlier rumors which alleged the devicewould launch in April, which obviously never happened.
Samsung revealed the Bixby-powered smart speaker during its launch event for theSamsung Galaxy Note 9, which was over nine months ago. Since then, the company has been notably quiet about the piece of hardware, onlyshowing it off in Novemberat the Samsung Developers Conference.
There, we got some hands-on time with the Galaxy Home, but since then we haven’t heard much at all about it.
When the smart speaker does arrive, it will be landing in an already-crowded market dominated by Google and Amazon. It’s unclear how well a smart speaker not powered byGoogle AssistantorAmazon Alexawill do considering the vice-like grip those two companies have over the smart speaker industry at this point.
However, Samsung pushed the high-end audio capabilities of the Galaxy Home during the Galaxy Note 9 launch, so it could be that the company is going after the high-end speaker market rather than the general consumer market. If so, it would be competing more with high-end brands like Sonos than with something like an Amazon Echo or Google Home.
As of now, pricing, an exact release date, and release markets are unknown. Stay tuned for more details.
