If we believe some past reports, the Samsung Bixby speaker will have features such as ‘sound shifting’ to beam the audio in the direction of the user through verbal commands. The bowl-shaped speaker is also claimed to be marketed as a high-end music player at a price of $300 (roughly Rs. 20,700). It is currently said to be in development with codename “Lux”.

The official details about the smart speaker are likely to be announced at the forthcoming Galaxy Unpacked event in New York. This will also be the venue where Samsung will unveil the Galaxy Note 9. The event could also be the place for the Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Tab S4, and some other Samsung offerings. The speaker could alternatively be presumed to launch at IFA 2018.
