In the midst of all the Galaxy S9 news dominating MWC 2018, Samsung’s mobile president DJ Koh also took time to confirm long-standing rumors of a Samsung smart speaker. 

As first reported by the Wall Street Journal, Samsung will release a “premium” Bixby smart speaker in the second half of 2018. Koh’s announcement contradicted an earlier report from Bloomberg that it would sell the speaker early in the year.
