"It takes the classic tape deck design and turns it into a smart speaker with two tiny 1.5-inch circular OLED displays. They're in that place where the spinning reels used to be, since this isn't exactly a cassette player. On the left, you get the playback controls and on the right side, you get a digital waveform or equalizer. Both screens are touch-sensitive, letting you interact directly with the device without constantly reaching for your phone."
"It's not just a usual Bluetooth speaker, though, as you get AI-powered music recommendations built into the device. That means you can discover new music, select what you want to hear, and control everything directly on the cassette itself. You get a touchscreen display as well so you don't need an external device to control it. This standalone functionality sets it apart from traditional Bluetooth speakers that rely heavily on phone connectivity."
Samsung Display unveiled two CES 2026 concepts: the AI OLED Cassette and the AI OLED Turntable. The AI OLED Cassette recreates a classic tape deck as a smart speaker with two 1.5-inch circular OLED displays replacing the spinning reels. One screen provides playback controls while the other shows a digital waveform or equalizer. Both circular displays are touch-sensitive for direct interaction. The device includes AI-powered music recommendations and an integrated touchscreen so users can discover, select, and control music without relying on a phone. A lozenge-shaped display serves as a virtual tuning dial for added tactile interaction. The concepts apply circular OLED technology to nostalgic audio forms and could inspire future products.
