Last month, along with launching the Honor Magic 2 smartphone, the China-based technology giant Huawei also unveiled its new AI-based smart voice assistant — YOYO.

Now, the company is expanding the lineup of devices running its YOYO voice assistant and is now all set to launch YOYO-powered smart speakers. Huawei has scheduled a launch event on 26th December in China where it will launch Honor YOYO Smart Speaker.

YOYO, the AI-based smart voice assistant can carry out a wide range of functions just through voice commands. It supports features such as AI Driving, Translation, Shopping, and knowledge recognition. This is the same smart assistant that is powering the Honor FlyPods Pro.

It also supports in-call live voice translation, a feature similar to Google Duplex. During the Magic 2 launch, Honor showed a video of the YOYO voice assistant making a hotel reservation for its owner. The company also touted that the smart voice assistant will also be able to control DJI drones through voice commands. In a live demonstration, Honor’s CEO used his voice to ask the drone to take off, take a picture of him, and also land.

While we know the capabilities of Honor’s YOYO smart voice assistant, it is not yet clear if the upcoming smart speaker from the company will support all the features. There’s also no information related to the Honor YOYO Smart Speaker apart from its launch date.
