At the Mobile World Congress 2022 event, Huawei debuted multiple products in the global market like the Matebook X Pro and the Huawei MatePad Paper e-ink tablet.

speaker’s large 8800mAh battery promises a playback time of 26 hours. It can be
charged at super-fast 40W and can offer a whole hour of playback at just 10
minutes of charge.
The Huawei Sound Joy also comes with
pretty useful and intuitive functionalities like shake to pair, touch to phone
to instantly transfer a track, and proximity-based auto-discovery. It has a
dedicated voice assistant key to activate your phone’s smart voice assistant
for memos, reminders, information inquiries, and more. The Bluetooth speaker
measures 202 mm in height, has a diameter of 73 mm and weighs 680 grams. A large part of its exterior is made of a
