1 min readWhile the Samsung’s IFA press conference didn’t provide any indication of when a second-generation version of the Music Frame might arrive, it did see the timely debut of the new Music Frame WICKED edition.
Pitched as a tie-in for the upcoming film of the same name (which is itself an adaptation of a Broadway musical), the new Music Frame WICKED edition doesn’t differ from the standard model when it comes to specs.
Like Samsung’s original square-shaped speaker, it features a pair of tweeters, two woofers and mid-range drivers and comes with support for everything from Q Symphony and Chromecast to Spotify Connect, AirPlay and Bluetooth 5.2.
In our review of the Samsung Music Frame, we came away with the sense that “the Samsung Music Frame might not satisfy the appetites of audiophiles but if you're on the fence then all you really need to know is that it sounds as good as it looks.”
Where this variant of the standard Music Frame does differ is that it comes bundled with a trio of autographed photo cards featuring images from WICKED, one of which is entirely exclusive to the speaker. It also comes with a set of Wicked-themed bezels and bespoke packaging designed to appeal to fans of the upcoming film.
According to Samsung’s executive vice president of visual displays Cheolgi Kim, the idea behind this new spin on the speaker is to provide consumers with a way to make the technology their own.
