Also on July 5, Ali released its first smart speaker "Tmall Genie X1", equipped with AliGenie, Ali's intelligent voice assistant, priced at 499 yuan.

Although the Big Three released two products, smart voice/smart speakers, there is no doubt that Amazon's hot Echo smart speakers and Alexa voice assistant are the only reasons they are committed to this.

The sales of Amazon Echo smart speakers surpassed 7 million units in January this year, accounting for 70% of the entire smart speaker market. Before Echo, this market was still wild, and Amazon alone developed a sales volume. Ten million new markets.

And more importantly, this new market is still growing rapidly. Amazon officially announced that the sales of Echo during the Christmas period of 2016 were 9 times higher than that of 2015!

The voice assistant Alexa equipped with Echo also benefits from this and is sought after by many third-party manufacturers. Currently, Alexa has more than 15,000 third-party skills! This number is 39 times that of Google's voice assistant and 230 times that of Cortana.

Alexa is so popular that Huawei Mate 9 overseas version and HTC U11 even chose to pre-install Alexa into the system.

With a 70% share and 15,000 third-party support, if smart speakers/voice assistants are the next outlet, then Amazon is only one step away from the world's hegemon.

This should also be the reason why the BAT Big Three are eager to launch related products, and more importantly, smart speakers/voice assistant products are still a virgin in the domestic market, and the definition of first mover advantage still holds.

So who among the Big Three will be closer to success?

Both Tencent and Baidu chose to build an open platform, operate an intelligent voice ecosystem, and provide technical support for third parties. This is a relatively safe approach and a large enough imagination.

Ali took the lead and directly launched the consumer-grade product Tmall Genie X1. The ultra-low price of 499 yuan is very close to the people, which is tantamount to directly fighting with competitors.

From the consumer's point of view, Ali's approach is more realistic. After all, products that can be bought and bought are good products. In this sense, Ali is undoubtedly closer to the market.

But how does the Tmall Genie X1 perform? Is it a smart speaker that consumers will love? Can you take up Ali's ambition in the smart speaker market?
