What new products can I expect from Samsung at IFA 2017?
Samsung has only last week unveiled its Galaxy Note 8, so it’s improbable that we’ll see any new phones – although we are still awaiting a release for the rumoured Galaxy S8 Mini. It’s more likely that Samsung will focus on smartwatches at the event, with both the Samsung Gear Sport and Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro tipped. It’s worth pointing out the house icon on the invitation, and we will more than likely see some new smart home tech in Samsung’s SmartThings line. One such product could be a Bixby smart speaker, now that it has finally put Bixby Voice in front of a UK audience. We’ll bring you full details as they are announced.
