Beosound Stage, Beovision 8-40, Beolit 20, Beosound Explore.
It also has some kind of compliance sticker from Brasilian Agency of Telecommunications... ...hmm, what might this be? :)
@ Chris
It is a small and compact loudspeaker ... coming soon.

Purely a speaker ? ie wired like the S8 satellites ?
Or like the A2, BeoLit 15, and A9 ... independently accessible with wireless / bluetooth.
BeoNut since '75

Check page 32 and 33 for some sketchy pictures of the testing. Bluetooth 4.0 connection and a battery I guess. Smaller and more portable than BeoLit 15 it seems. I guess cheaper too?

The link does not work.
The 3 indicates a (relatively) cheap product.

There is a tv - and there is a BV
Would be interesting to learn about the difference in using the 'S' instead of an 'A' for this product.
Might be that in Beoplay range letters mean:
H - headphones
A - audio
V - video, and
S - surround
:)
...or perhaps: S - subwoofer :)
Well - the S8 set is stereo, not surround.
I hope it is something similar to the Sonos Play 1 or Play 3, that works wireless with the Moment and / or other B&O equipment. In that case, I would buy 4-5 of those small speakers right away...
BeoBoy68:In the BeoPlay range the S mean Sound system
Then they would have to rename the A9 to S9
And the A8 to S8. Oh... wait now...

Thanks rgbyhkr
Definitively a very small and cute loudspeaker.
It look very original.
We see the style of Jakob Wagner's design.
Cost certainly € 250.-
All good designs come from Nature BeoGreg lol
That's a fundamental of Scandinavian design :-)

thats the wonder of social media! Nothing's a surprise anymore everyone wanting the "INFO" ASAP when Bang & Olufsen launch a product it should be a surprise as was intended. It just plain infuriates me when someone has to blow it open before launch... . Shame on this site for allowing it to be posted. My opinion and I'm sure most will disagree but that's how I feel .
Maybe we should consider a 'Warning Badge' - for these postings ;-)))

Haha you are so right Chris :)
Maybe we should disconnect the Internet and hide under the stairs until it appears in the shops. Anyway Maurice don't worry, there'll be a new model to replace it next year ;) ;) ;) ;) that'll be the MKII with Bluetooth that works without dropouts :)
Chris Townsend:It's a Chinese made Beoplay speaker, not the cure for cancer. Beoworld is not quite Wikileaks, but I'll check my car mirror for that blacked out Audi a lot more often in future.

Moderators have been known to remove postings or threads disclosing new products before any official launch in the past.
However, I guess these pictures are legitimately published so will stay...................?

Do you mean the pictures in the sound chamber?
But thats the sound-engineers boiled pudding in shot ?
its got to be a decoy. Unless there's an update which has been removed by a moderator?

Looks sweet.
Indeed!
Hard to judge how big (or small) that would be?
according to that site 18x18x12 cm and about 360€....sounds very good!

A bit bigger than the BL3 (without the lens part) and costs approx the same as the A2, then.
In Hong Kong, if you join the plan of mobile service, you will get the Beoplay S3 for free. (first 100 quotes)
It seems a mono speaker
