This is the latest in a long line of strange developments for a device that has seemed at times destined to become vaporware. Samsung first announced the Galaxy Home at its Note 9 event in 2018. Following an appearance at CES 2019, the company didn’t share new information about the speaker until it announced a public beta later that same year. What made the beta noteworthy was that it was limited to South Korea, and, more significantly, the Galaxy Home itself wasn’t part of it. Instead, Samsung started testing the smaller Galaxy Home Mini. At this year’s CES, a company executive said Samsung would release the device sometime in “early 2020,” and following a leak on the company’s website, it seemed like the Galaxy Home Mini was on track to come out this week.

That hasn’t happened. Instead, it looks like there’s a chance the Galaxy Home Mini may end up merely being a promotional product. In any case, we’ve reached out to Samsung to find out whether it plans to release the device in the US, and we’ll update this article when we hear back.

Assuming Samsung doesn’t delay the device, that means you’ll finally be able to get your hands on a Bixby-powered speaker more than 18 months after Samsung first announced the Galaxy Home. We initially saw the device at the company’s Note 9 event in 2018. Minus a brief appearance at last year’s CES, we’ve heard very little about the speaker. The irony is that the Galaxy Home could still become vaporware. In the same interview, Kim revealed Samsung hasn’t decided whether it will ultimately release the bigger speaker.

It also looks like Samsung has scaled back its ambitions for Bixby. Rather than build out the AI’s ability to hold a conversation, Kim said the company instead focused on letting it control your other Samsung appliances and devices. For example, you’ll be able to tell Bixby when you want your dishwasher to wash the dishes and it will set a schedule. At launch, it also looks like Samsung won’t include an Alexa Skills-like API that will allow other companies to make their products work with the Galaxy Home Mini.

Kim didn’t outright mention Samsung’s upcoming Unpacked event on February 11th, but that seems as good a venue as any for the company to detail the device.
