amazon_echo_dot_gen2_unboxing_3

Amazon is planning to launch its Echo speaker with Alexa voice assistant in India by the end of this year, according to a new report from ET. Citing two people aware of the development, the report further stated that it has already begun testing its products through select company executives and analysts. Earlier in February, a separate report had said that Amazon is “putting together content and localising the service”.

The speakers will initially be launched with an English interface following which it will be able to respond commands in regional Indian languages including Marathi, Tamil and Hindi. A multilingual interface is being developed at Amazon’s Chennai facility. With Amazon Echo smart speaker, users will be able to order a cab, play their favorite music, check the weather and more. For online purchases, Alexa will link to the company’s online marketplace.

Talking about the price, the report says, Amazon will offer an attractive pricing for the Echo speaker in the beginning and these offerings are likely to be linked with existing users of Amazon’s services in India.
Last year, Google launched Google Home smart speaker that comes with Google Assistant which competes directly with Amazon Echo. Amazon is already aggressive in India with the recent Amazon Prime and Prime Video launch.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Press Image Surfaces

Image
Ladies and gentlemen, we now have what might be the very first renders that accurately present Samsung's Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge, both of which will likely be announced next month at MWC 2016 (on February 21, to be exact). Revealed by @evleaks , the renders seem to be press images that may have originated from Samsung (thus not being fan-made renders). In the past, @evleaks unveiled accurate images of many new smartphones ahead of their official announcements, so we're inclined to believe that the new renders are legit. As expected, the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge don't look too different from last year's Galaxy S6 and S6 edge. However, while the Galaxy S7 may keep the same 5.1-inch display of the S6, the Galaxy S7 edge could have a 5.5-inch screen, and its render seems to be supporting this idea. Minor design changes aside, the Galaxy S7 series should bring significant improvements over the S6 family, including water-resistance, microSD card support...
