Samsung’s Bixby speaker, announced one year ago today, still hasn’t launched

Happy one-year anniversary, I guess, to the Samsung Galaxy Home, which was announced a year ago today.

The Bixby speaker was announced at the Note 9 launch in 2018, we just had the Note 10 launch in 2019, and the event came and went without a ship date or even a mention for Samsung's smart speaker.

The Galaxy Home was supposed to be Samsung's answer to the Amazon Echo and Google Home—a smart speaker with a voice assistant inside, but the development is taking forever.

The Galaxy Home's absence at Samsung's latest event didn't go unnoticed by the media.

Samsung confirmed to The Verge the device isn't cancelled, saying, “We’re continuing to refine and enhance the Galaxy Home prior to launch, and look forward to sharing more with Galaxy fans soon.”

Samsung's whole assistant push with Bixby always seemed questionable, as it puts Samsung in the position of having to be an ecosystem creator, something it has not typically done.
