According to Digitimes supply chain sources, Facebook Inc (FB) intends to join the smart speaker market with a product aimed to compete with Amazon’s Echo Show.

Facebook shares closed lower for the third time in the past thirteen trading sessions on Tuesday. The stock went down 0.43% ($0.72) to $165.28, after touching an intraday low at $163.86, or a price level not seen since July 21st ($163.75). In the week ended on July 23rd the shares of the social media company added 2.79% to their market value compared to a week ago, which marked a third consecutive period of gains. The stock has pared its advance to 9.47% so far during the current month, following a 0.32% dip in June. The latter has been the first retreat out of six months. For the entire past year, the shares of the NASDAQ-listed company gained 9.93%.

One advantage of Facebooks model is expected to be the 15-inch touch panel supplied by LG Display, rather than a proprietary voice assistant, as is the case with a number of smart speaker products.

In comparison, the latest Echo Show by Amazon features a 7-inch display and the Alexa voice assistant.
