A Huawei smartwatch may also be used to manage volume and playback. Bluetooth v5.2 is supported by the Huawei Sound Joy smart speaker.
The Huawei Sound Joy smart speaker has an 8,800mAh battery that is said to provide up to 26 hours of battery life and enables fast charging at 40W through a USB Type-C interface. With a short 10-minute charge, the manufacturer claims it can provide one hour of playing. A multicoloured LED ring around the smart speaker displays the volume level and battery life. According to the firm, it has an IP67 designation for dust and water protection, which includes being submerged in up to 1 metre of water.
Users can enable stereo mode by shaking two Huawei Sound Joy speakers adjacent to each other or transmit audio by touching a Huawei smartphone to the speaker, with an auto-discovery feature that displays a pop-up window to connect to the speaker. According to the business, the smart speaker also has a voice assistant that can accept memos, reminders, information requests, and more.
