Samsung plans to bypass Apple in the emerging market of smart speakers by introducing its own analog HomePod. With such a statement, Donzhin Koch, the president of the Samsung mobile unit. According to him, the company has enough experience to direct it in the right direction, to get ahead of its nearest competitor with the product of the first generation.

"Samsung Electronics is the only electronics manufacturer that covers all of the technology industries," said Koch. "We simply do not have a choice but to apply all our forces".

He was supported by Patrick Chomet, product manager at Samsung, who emphasized that the company could carry out a real revolution in any sphere.

The market of "smart" columns already by 2020 will experience significant growth, analysts predict Gartner. According to experts, within the next 3-5 years, a smart speaker with a built-in voice assistant will be for every fourth user of smartphones. That is why the entry of such giants as Apple and Samsung into this market is a great news for all of us.
