Samsung Galaxy Home Mini, the little variant of the Galaxy Home that was revealed back in August 2018, is debuting a day after Galaxy Unpacked event on February 11, according to a media release. The smart mouthpiece comes with Samsung’s Bixby and includes AKG-tuned speakers. In August last year, Samsung propelled off a beta program committed to the Galaxy Home Mini. The speaker is meant to take on the likes of Amazon Echo Dot and Google Home Mini with a smaller presence than what was accessible on the Samsung Galaxy Home.
The launch event that is highly anticipated to bring the Samsung Galaxy S20 series and the Galaxy Z Flip foldable phone won’t see the launch of Galaxy Home Mini, reports SlashGear, which claims it will debut a day after — on February 12. The smart speaker is said to carry a price tag of KRW 99,000 (roughly Rs. 5,900). Details about the global debut of the Galaxy Home Mini aren’t revealed, though.
Unlike the Galaxy Home that comes with a tripod legs stand, the Samsung Galaxy Home Mini has a standard flat base. The new smart speaker also has a smaller build over the standard Galaxy Home speaker that hasn’t seen a global launch so far — despite being launched officially back in 2018.
The Galaxy Home Mini was proclaimed following a beta program in August last year that was arranged on September 1. A sight of the smart speaker was also shown at the Samsung Developer Conference in October. It is designed to operate with Bixby and has manual controls on the top panel, just as the ones we’ll get on the Amazon Echo Dot or Google Home Mini.
Apart from providing a smart audio experience, the Samsung Galaxy Home Mini is said to come with an infrared (IR) sensor to provide universal control functionality.
