Leaked Touchscreen Smart Speakers

Samsung is Rumored to Be Working on the Galaxy Home Mini 2

— January 14, 2022 — Tech
It is rumored that Samsung is currently working on the Galaxy Home Mini 2, a follow-up to its original smart speaker, the galaxy Home Home Mini. Interestingly, the first-generation of the Home Mini fell out of the public's eye after only receiving a South Korean release. So, for many, this will appear to be the brand's first attempt at tackling the smart home speaker market.

News about the new speaker was leaked by Max Jambor, who tweeted, "Galaxy Home Mini 2 (SM-V320) isn't too far away anymore." Which he followed up with another that tweet up saying " “In other words: production started." According to the early leaked information, the new model will more closely resemble a Google Nest than Samsung's original Home Mini. More specifically, it is expected to have a spherical design and a touchscreen component.
