Huawei AI Cube Smart Speaker With 4G Internet Router Launched: Features, India Launch and More

Huawei has launched its first smart speaker, dubbed, Huawei AI Cube. It’s an Amazon Alexa-powered smart speaker launched at the IFA 2018 event in Berlin. Same as the case with other smart speakers, the Huawei AI Cube can make Alexa to Alexa voice calls and the best part is it even comes with 4G mobile Internet router. So if local operators in a country give heads up for the voice calling through the AI Cube, users will be able to make standard voice calls with this smart speaker. Furthermore, users can also use the device as a hotspot. It’s an interesting feature to have around and Huawei is known for such innovations in the industry.

Huawei AI Cube Has a 4G Mobile Internet Router

Unlike other smart speakers such as the Google Home, Apple’s HomePod or Amazon Echo devices, the cylindrical-sized speaker from Huawei also has a 4G mobile Internet router, meaning users can insert a SIM card in the device and make it their Wi-Fi hotspot if they so wish.

“We are planning to sell it in partnership with local mobile network operators just like what Jio is doing with its phones in India,” Shudong Luo, Chief Marketing Engineer, IoT (Internet of Things) Product Line, told IANS, hinting that the AI Cube could even come for free, depending on the partnership with the local carrier.

The AI Cube, which currently supports three languages – English, German and French is likely to hit the stores first in Europe towards the end of this year.
