One area I feel Samsung would of been better getting in line with Google and just rolling with Assistant. Smartwatches, Tizen is still better suited then WearOS. Think LG made the right decision here with the assistants though.

If Samsung makes a smart speaker that supports both Bixby and Google Assistant, then it could be a hit. If it only has Bixby, then it will never be a hit. The thing is Samsung's Galaxy lineup support Gear VR and Daydream VR, as well as Google's ARCore. So there could be a chance that their speaker might do multiple Assistants. If anything Samsung should release a smart display as well. Because smart displays in the smart display world are taking over from where smart speakers left off.

I wish we could get some of them working together.... Google home has the best assistance features and such but terrible mic array ( that's where Alexa really shines with 7 well calibrated mics ).

With Google Assistant, never be too late... with Bixby, it's a DOA.

Nobody cares if it's late, we all want to know if it's good.
Good AI? Great! Bad AI assistant? Toss is next to Siri in the dementia ward.

The last thing I want is anyone's smart speaker. Not in my house. I want good wireless speakers, but if they include a microphone then forget it.

If you want a good BT speaker, all you have to do is to start using brain ...
Pick a pair active of speakers, Fiio BT3 and DONE.
