Huawei has officially confirmed that its new Huawei Sound X speakers will be announced on November 25, alongside the MatePad Pro flagship tablet. We knew about this upcoming smart speaker and its basic design, thanks to an earlier leak. However, Huawei confirms that the Sound X is co-engineered with Devialet, and that’s a big deal.

Devialet is a premium French high-end Hi-Fi audio equipment brand and its Devialet Phantom range of speakers, especially the Silver Phantom and Phantom Gold, has received extremely rave reviews for its sound quality and volume. So Huawei’s partnership with Devialet for its new smart speakers makes things a lot more exciting. It could be as significant as Leica was for its smartphone cameras.

Previously, a leaked manual revealed that the Sound X will be powered by a 1.5GHz quad-core processor featuring 512MB of RAM and 8GB of storage. There will be two 60W subwoofers and six 1.5W tweeters for a 360° 5.1 home theater surround sound experience. The Sound X connects via Bluetooth 5.0 to your phone and supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi networks.

The Sound X is a smart speaker. So you can control your lights, robot vacuum cleaner, and smart plugs using Huawei’s HiLink app. The speaker will reportedly come with six microphones that can pick up your voice from up to 5 meters away.
