Best portable smart speakers in 2022: HUAWEI Sound Joy co-engineered with Devialet tops the list with 26-hour battery life

Huawei Consumer Business Group (BG) just announced the launch of its first Devialet co-engineered portable speaker – the HUAWEI Sound Joy. It is a compact, stylish and portable speaker designed for everyday use, delivering incredible convenience and premium audio experience for consumers wherever they go. The brand-new woven fabric design is IP67 rated for dust and water resistance and has an anti-slip surface, making it tough and durable. With a large built-in battery supporting up to 26 hours of playback time and fast charging support, the HUAWEI Sound Joy can bring life to outdoor parties.

Huawei-Devialet joint design for evocative sounds

The development of the HUAWEI Sound Joy is the joint effort of Huawei and Devialet. The French audio technology company Devialet is well-known for its High-Fidelity premium products. Leveraging the Devialet SAM® technology, the HUAWEI Sound Joy delivers an authentic audio experience with minimal distortion. The iconic Push-Push passive radiator design uses two diaphragms placed back to back to offset sound waves for clearer distortion-free audio.

The HUAWEI Sound Joy also adopts a 2-way speaker system to deliver loud high-frequencies and deep bass. This system includes one tweeter and one speaker unit dedicated for mids and lows, respectively. Combined, they produce clearer and more penetrating audio. Despite a small sound cavity of 0.25L, the HUAWEI Sound Joy can go as loud as 79dBA@2m.

Designed for on-the-go

Measuring 202mm high and weighing 680g with a diameter of 73mm, the HUAWEI Sound Joy is easy to carry around like a water bottle, whether it is a picnic at the lake, hiking in a national park, or cycling around the city. HUAWEI Sound Joy is a great companion that lets consumers bring their favourite tunes to any outdoor event.

The large 8800mAh battery in the HUAWEI Sound Joy provides a long-lasting battery life of 26 hours on one full charge. Even when the battery is running low, the 40W fast charging lets users power up HUAWEI Sound Joy quickly and safely. With just a 10-minute charge, the speaker can play for another hour. It only takes 3 hours to fill up the battery from empty.
