Samsung has announced its entry into the smart speaker market with the Galaxy Home. It’s a high-end speaker meant to go head-to-head with Apple’s HomePod, while standing apart from competitors like Amazon’s Echo and Google’s Home with a promise of higher quality audio. Samsung said the speaker is meant to combine “amazing sound and elegant design.”

The Galaxy Home looks like a strange vase or statue that might go on a table in the corner of your home. It’s wrapped in fabric and elevated by three stout metal legs. It has a flat top with control buttons on it for skipping tracks and changing the volume.
