In just a few months, the market fortalking speakerssimply exploded. So much so that there are more and more players marketing them. And as usual when a technological phenomenon becomes democratized, the biggest firms end up jumping in… Often with more or less success.
This time, it’s Stéphane Richard’s company which is tackling the HomePod with a product with a slightly more original name…Djingo. The target? France, of course, but also and above all Orange subscribers. Upselling is indeed likely to be the most effective acquisition strategy for this brand.
How does Djingo work?
The Parisian firm's compound actually usesAlexato communicate with its users via voice command. This connected assistant, designed byAmazonfor its direct competitor Echo, is in fact sold under license to third-party manufacturers. For the rest, it's very similar to the other speakers.
By pronouncing the key wordsOK Djingo, you can therefore change the channel on your television set, change the sound in a playlist, listen to the news or find out the day's weather, etc. Demonstrations are planned for the press, but it will be necessary to take it in hand to judge its effectiveness.
Features
Designed in partnership with its counterpart across the RhineDeutsche Telekom, the assistantOrangewill be offered at a fairly forbidding price of…149€. For comparison, the HomePodwhich has just upgraded to iOS 13.2.1, still costs twice as much.
Djingo is the size of a bowl and adopts a sober, black and all-purpose design, with the company logo that distributes it right in front, which breaks its look a little. We will therefore prefer to store it in our TV cabinet or on a desk. He will be able to connect to theLiveboxand its decoder in order to control your media center without leaving your sofa.
