Very cool.

Looks like an Android OS - leaving that part to the cell phone pros! Good decision.

Would be cool to see BeoLink integration with IR this time... Not everyone has a ML gateway.

Location: San Francisco

I'm an automotive audio and acoustic engineer. I design loudspeakers and full sound systems for new automobiles. I also dabble with studio, consumer and pro audio projects from time to time.

On the side of the model are the words Beophone M. IR, Did i really need a Beo 6????????

I don't like it- Looks like any other smart phone to me..... And it is not iOS based!

 

 

Wow, the pictures make it look like something ready for production..😐

Stereo speakers on each side and on top, finally some clever design! And the built-in remote control shouldn't require MLGW, I think B&O was too upset by another brand (Lumigon) releasing a new cellphone with B&O IcePower, IR capability and a clear B&O design that they had to bring out something.

And 64 Gb memory, that's good news, since it can playback FLAC files!

The dock looks inspired from the Automotive speaker grilles.

The only thing I find strange is the 4/3 screen?

Finally something that could replace my Serenata!πŸ™‚ 

Very nice.....πŸ™‚

Think we all should hint,at  B&O  to release it😁

Agreed. In what way is this different? But thanks for sharing anyway.

Well, I freely confess I knew nothing about this!  It looks quite slick.

Would it replace my iPhone?

No, but that's just me. πŸ™‚

If it's anywhere near as good as the 2 other B&O/Samsung mobile phone collaborations then it will look decent with great sound reproduction & fall way short in almost every other department.

I thought these collaborations had been consigned to where they belong - the bin.

The specs were buried as one of many images in the third link ................
