Although little information has been reported on the subject, different sources point to the possibility that Samsung su adds to the virtual assistants' party at home with its own intelligent loudspeaker.

How could Samsung Galaxy Home be?

South Koreans wouldn't have risked much with the name and could call their smart speaker Samsung Galaxy Home, a nomenclature that inevitably reminds us quite a bit of the Google Home speaker, possibly the most popular of those currently in existence, with permission from the Apple Homepod and Amazon Echo.

There is little news about this Samsung Galaxy Home, but if the company knows how to implement it well, it could be one of the best results in our connected home. Considering that Samsung has a good variety of devices (televisions, smartphones, appliances ...) and that it has already developed Bixby, its own virtual assistant, the arrival of the intelligent speaker would be focused on reinforcing the integration between all this and our connected home.

The availability and price of the Samsung Galaxy Home is still a mystery. Interesting dates are coming up, such as the CES in Las Vegas that will start generating news on January 6 or the MWC in Barcelona that will do the same on February 23rd. It is not confirmed that he is going to show his paw on either of these two dates, but we will stay tuned to tell you any news regarding this intelligent loudspeaker Samsung, which will seek to offer a very solvent alternative to the rest of similar devices already existing.

Xiaomi with Ikea for smart home

Xiaomi and Ikea have signed a strategic agreement for smart home and Internet of Things. As a first result of this agreement, the Chinese brand will make its products compatible with the smart bulbs of the Swedish giant. This means that from next December, Ikea's smart lighting products will be able to communicate perfectly with Xiaomi's IoT platform. In addition, Ikea's smart lighting solutions can be managed by users through the Mi Home application.

The agreement is currently only valid for the Chinese market, but it is still very important. Xiaomi, in fact, does not only deal with smartphones and has long been making products for smart homes of all kinds. The agreement with Ikea could be the first step towards expanding the ecosystem of its intelligent products, which could find more space in homes.

Moreover, no mention has been made of the possibility that this partnership could expand outside the Chinese borders. This means, however, that it cannot be ruled out that in the future the agreement between the Swedish giant and the Chinese brand may also concern other countries. Moreover, Ikea is present almost everywhere and for some time now has been pushing for solutions for smart homes, while Xiaomi is increasingly moving outside the borders of China.

All that remains, then, is to wait and see in the next few months whether this alliance can bring news in Europe and America.
