Samsung's CES Concepts Disguise AI Speakers as Turntables and Cassette Players (samsungdisplay.com) 13
Samsung is bringing a pair of retro-styled speaker concepts to CES 2026 that combine old-school aesthetics with OLED screens and AI-powered music recommendations, and the company is positioning them as alternatives to conventional Bluetooth speakers that typically depend on a paired smartphone or tablet for content selection. The "AI OLED Cassette" features a 1.5-inch round OLED display, while the larger "AI OLED Turntable" uses a 13.4-inch round panel, and both allow users to receive music suggestions, browse and select content directly on the device, and set ambient moods using images and video playback.

The system will be dead in less than 5 years. Samsung will change the terms of service and you will be left holding an empty bag having bought a pig in a poke. Not even a pig one can put lipstick on.
And Louis Rossmann will have to make yet another video about how wrong it all is.
It is almost like nobody pays attention.

CES is a joke. remember when every manufacturer was touting 3D televisions? or when everything was going to be “smart/connected?” where are the curved displays? fads, just like Super Pong and CB radio.
enter this year’s theme: Artificial Intelligence. jamming “AI” into everything won’t set the world on fire (in a sales sense, anyway). just make good products that people want and save money by not feeding the marketing machine. you’ll do fine.

If you RTFA Samsung is demonstrating the flexibility (literally) and durability of their OLED panels to product designers (use them anywhere/everywhere!). Samsung isn't proposing these as actual products.
